After finishing this course, students should understand and be able to apply the methods of Experimental Modal Analysis (Modal Testing). This is a Computer aided technique allowing to identify natural frequencies and vibration patterns (mode shapes) of complex vibration systems with a multitude of natural frequencies.

Content:

- some theoretical background on vibration theory

- vibration sensors

- lab exercises on vibration excitation and vibration measurement

- lab exercises on evaluation of measured data with up-to-date software.
