Transducer
• Load cell: a piezoceramic device configured to produce a voltage proportional to force
• Accelerometer (also based on piezoceramic) produce a signal proportional to acceleration at the point of attachment
3
• Proximity probes, usually magnetic and give a signal proportional to local displacement
• Laser vibrometers give a signal proportional to local velocity (or scanned to give velocity
• field) or displacement
• Strain gauges (local strain or strain rate)
• Others
4
Exciter
• Electromagnetic shakers which may apply a force through a range of frequencies (harmonic or random inputs)
• Instrumented hammers which simulate an impact (recall the impulse response)
5
Signal Conditioning
• The direct out put of a transducer not usually well suited for input into an analyzer
• Impedance miss matched, voltage or current levels too low
• SC is a charge or voltage amp designed to take an accelerometer signal and match it to the input requirements of the analyzer
6
Analyzer
• Electronic boxes (really dedicated computers) which gather signals and manipulate them mathematically
• Like all other computer based technologies the analyzer “boxes” have evolved almost in to chip sized devices
• Essentially their main source of manipulation is digital Fourier Transforms for manipulating the vibration data in the frequency domain

Spectrum Analyzer
• Analog voltage in from force f(t) and one of x(t), v(t) or a(t) transducers
• Signals are filtered, “digitized” and transformed to the frequency domain
• Manipulated to produce digital frequency response functions from which vibration data is extracted
11
Digital Signal Processing(DSP)
• The analyzer takes signals form the transducer and puts the signal into a form that can be mathematically manipulated
• This of course is best performed with digital computers, hence we rely on some basic principles of dps
12
Analog to Digital Conversion
• The analog signal x(t) is sampled at many equally spaced time intervals to produce the digital record
{x(t1), x(t2), ….x(tN)}where x(tk) is the discrete value of x(t) at time tkand N is the number of samples taken
• Constructed by A/D converter (eg gated)
13
Sampling Rate
• Aliasing is caused by not sampling enough of the signal so the digital record does not catch the details of the analog signal (see example 8.3.1)
• Problem is solved by choosing a sample rate of 2.5 times the largest frequency of interest and by
• Anti-aliasing filters (cut off filter) allowing a sane choice of sampling rate

FFT/DFT Analyzer
• Above becomes the matrix equation x=Ca where C contains the sin and cos termsx is the vector of samples anda is the vector of Fourier Coefficients
• The analyzer computes the coefficients in the DFT formula by a=C-1x
• N is fixed by hardware (a power of 2)

• PSD’s calculated in analyzer
• Used to form H(ω) for force in, response out (velocity, position or acceleration)
• H(ω) used to extract modal data of structure in a number of different ways, forming the topic of Modal Testing

Need only one column to get mode shape
Suppose ui = [a1 a2 a3]T
uiuiT =
a12 a1a2 a1a3
a2a1 a22 a2a3
a3a1 a3a2 a32
really only 3 unkowns a1, a2 and a3 . So just three
elements of α(ω) need be measured per mode to get
the mode shape
28
Model Updating
• All analytical models must be verified by experiments
• Often the experimental data will disagree slightly with the analytical model
• If this is the case, the analytical model is often adjusted (hopefully slightly) so that the adjusted, or updated, model agrees with experimentally measured data
• Many papers and one book have been written on this topic and it is still one of active research
