Vibration Analysis
Concepts - Hand Calculations and FE Analysis
( A hands-on workshop )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Venue: Mechanical Engineering Department, IISc, Bangalore     
Date:   16^th / 17^th February, 2017

Objective: 

• To instill a deep understanding of basic concepts of vibration to participant design engineers / analysts.
• To enable participants to appreciate significance understanding of vibration physics.
• To get a feel for physics based on correlation of hand calculations, FE Analysis and measurements.

Methodology:

• Interactive workshop, will have lectures by multiple experts with 25 to 40 years of experience.
• Problems to be solved by participants in the workshop.
  • It is expected that participants will solve all a series of problems by hand calculation within the workshop.  For FE analysis, participants can take it as homework and send the results. Participants are also encouraged to bring their laptops with the FE software of their choice. 
• Analysis of vibration test data and correlations.
• Quiz and open house discussions.
• A test at the end of 2 day session.

Type Participants

• Design engineers / analysts / who need to take care of the vibration related issues.
• Participants can be from all engineering verticals / industries / domains/ndt engineers/ndt technicians/ndt institute faculties where vibration is important subject.
