Full Field - Traditional Approach Issues with Contact Transducers
Mass loading Damping and stiffness errors
Time consuming Limited working environments Complicated cabling Safety Coarse spatial resolution Coordinate correlation to FEM
geometry cumbersome Transducer calibration Limited bandwidth Poor Modal Assurance Criteria
# 7
A Better SolutionScanning Laser Vibrometer
Laser has no mass Faster - laser can be scanned Long standoffs, through windows,
fluids, hi temps No cabling on structure Spot dia typically 10s of µm FEM geometry import for easy
point definition One (3) transducer(s) to calibrate
(no book keeping) Wide bandwidth – no accel rolloff or
resonance - to 1.2GHz!! Reduced chance of spatial aliasing

Laser vibrometers measure vibration in laser direction only
Data needs careful interpretation due to different vibration directions, surface shape and varying scan angles
Modal analysis software expects 3-D data

Data import (via UFF):
a) Other test software packages
b) Finite Element Model Geometry File
c) Extracted from other methods such as CAT scan
What if there is no geometry file?
Options for Obtaining Geometry File

Options for Obtaining Geometry File
When there is no geometry file:
a) Alignment of all 3 laser beams manually for every scan point
b) Measure geometry for every scan point
GEOMETRY SCAN UNIT
# 27
PSV-500 Geometry Scan Unit
More compact, more stable, no moving parts, fasterFor eg: 844 points in 3mins 30secs
Higher sensitivity and wider optical dynamic range Handles larger range of surfaces and variations in surface finish
# 28
Beam Positioning Accuracy
Reasons for poor overlap: Inaccurate “3D-Alignment” during set up procedureImperfect geometry data
Why must beams overlap?Lasers must measure at same point for optimal lateral resolutionMore critical for strain measurements - geometry must be known for transformation to in-plane and out-of-plane data

Faster set-up According to a European car manufacturer just the mounting and cabling of the accels and dummy
masses plus the coordinate definitions for a car body usually takes around 4 – 5 days
FEM mesh (coarsened) can be imported Manual identification of points relative to FEM nodes not necessary All points correlate exactly with FE model
Faster data acquisition No moving of dummy masses, accels and retesting
Spatially more detailed data Important for FEM correlation, model updating, and acoustics
Benefits compared to Accelerometers Insensitive to crosstalk when rotational vibration is present Calibration not affected by temperature Flat frequency response
Software is easy to learn and system easy to use
Other time savings for design (FEM) department No modeling of dummy masses necessary
A major European car manufacturer estimates total time savings of > 50%
