Introduction to Vibration
This two day course provides a practical introduction to the subject of vibration testing. Designed around the needs of engineers new to the subject of vibration testing and yet offering a useful refresher course for the more experienced users, this course explains how to interpret vibration test specifications and apply them to a vibration test system. Subjects covered are sinusoidal vibration, random vibration, and shock/bump testing together with a background to the equipment required for each type of test, methods of control and simple fixturing. A 3rd day is optional to cover the LASER Controller parameters and practical aspects when running a test.
The course emphasizes the practical aspects of vibration testing - the realities, the problems encountered and the common mistakes which can be made. The course removes the mystery and mystique of vibration testing and replaces it with facts and common sense.
All LDS vibration training courses have been compiled by the Customer Training Manager, Trevor Harrison. Trevor has years of first hand practical vibration testing experience.
With Trevor’s practical approach to Environmental Testing, technicians and Engineers have successfully been trained to competently use Vibration test systems.
Trevor Harrison joined LDS Test and Measurement in June 2007 as the Customer Training Manager for Vibration Test. Since joining LDS Test and Measurement he has successfully completed seminars to many customers in Europe and the USA. He now provides Regular courses at Royston in the UK which follow the latest modular structure to explain vibration systems and test techniques.
