SHM Lab

We have facilities to study vibrations qualitatively and wave propagations in systems understanding the structural dynamics in applications involving:

• • Aeroespace

  • Mechanical

  • Civil Structures

The SHM lab utilizes a combination of several actuators and sensing, with data acquisition and signal processing for damage detection and quantification in metallic and composite structures.

Some facilities:

• DAQ boards from LMS, m+p, and National Instruments

• Accelerometers, PZTs, PVDFs, strain gauges, etc.

• Laser doppler vibrometer

• ICP Load cells

• Electrodynamics shakers of several sizes and loading

• Impact hammers for modal tests

• Signal conditioners and amplifiers

• Oscilloscopes and signals generators

• Thermal chamber
