Certificate Engineering Program
Experimental Dynamics

  • ME 5534 : EXPERIMENTAL MODAL ANALYSIS: The fundamentals of experimental modal analysis will be investigated with emphasis on obtaining a quality database. Methods for the development of mathematical models from experimental data will be studied along with the methods of assembling substructures and of modifying the design of a prototype via modification and reanalysis of the experimentally derived mathematical model of that prototype. Selected topics in advanced experimental modal analysis will be treated. Pre: 5714. (3H,3C) II.
  • ME 5714 : SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR EXPERIMENTAL DYNAMICS: The fundamentals of signal processing of experimentally obtained data from mechanical systems will be covered. Special attention will be given to the areas of random, transient, and sinusoidal data processing. Various methods for the computation of frequency response functions will be explored. The methods will be assessed as to their impact on errors in the basic data used in experimental modal analysis. Elementary concepts in experimental modal analysis will be treated. Pre: 3504, 4504. (3H,3C) I.
