“Combining LDV with flying and moving platforms for flexible measurements on large structures: Joint research of TU Clausthal and the DLR“
by Prof. Christian Rembe, TU Clausthal, Germany
“The role of experimental dynamics in an era of Artificial Intelligence”
by Prof.Dario Di Maio, University of Twente, The Netherlands
He then worked as a post-Doc in the Rolls-Royce Composite Centre at Bristol University.
He was promoted to Assistant Professor of Dynamics at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Bristol. He then moved from the UK to the Netherlands, where he is Assistant Professor of Dynamics at the University of Twente. His research interests include experimental dynamics, vibration measurements, vibration fatigue of composites and modal testing.
ABSTRACT
Optical methods have been one of the techniques for measuring mechanical properties whenever a test structure is not physically accessible by contact sensors, such as in an extremely hot environment. Our structural dynamics community have been using non-contact methods because of its full-field feature, which enables a much more detailed description of the dynamical deformations of structures. Large and dense response fields are so rich in information that the analysis and properties’ extraction were, and possibly are, never easy. Nevertheless, these measurement techniques are the core of experimental methods to underpin physical properties. Nowadays, AI provides fantastic tools for many data processing and analyses, which are becoming more and more accessible to non-experts. Our role as scientists and educators should be the by-pass between metrology and novel AI data analysis techniques.
“Novel Three-dimensional Continuous Scanning Laser Vibrometry for Structures with Arbitrarily Curved Surfaces and Novel Zero-contact Rotating Structure Vibration Measurement“
by Prof. Weidong Zhu, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA
ABSTRACT
This study proposes (1) a novel general-purpose three-dimensional (3D) continuously scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (CSLDV) system to measure 3D full-field vibration of a structure with a curved surface in a non-contact and fast way, and (2) a novel zero-contact image-based tracking continuously scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (CSLDV) system for measuring vibration of a rotating structure. Firstly, the proposed general-purpose 3D CSLDV system consists of three CSLDVs, a profile scanner, and an external controller. A 3D zig-zag scan path is proposed for scanning the curved surface of the structure based on results from the profile scanner, and scan angles of mirrors in CSLDVs are adjusted based on relations among their laser beams to focus three laser spots at one location, and direct them to continuously and synchronously scan the proposed 3D scan path. Modal parameters including natural frequencies, mode shapes, and operating deflection shapes of a turbine blade with a curved surface are identified by the general-purpose 3D CSLDV system and compared with those from a 3D scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV) system. The proposed 3D CSLDV system have the same accuracy as that of the commercial 3D SLDV system in modal parameter estimation. However, the 3D CSLDV system has much higher efficiency in obtaining 3D modal parameters of the blade than the 3D SLDV system. A novel mirror-assisted testing methodology for 3D CSLDV measurement that aims to extend the field of view of the general-purpose 3D CSLDV system to measure vibration of difficult-to-access areas of the structure without moving the system during the test, and stitch vibration of its different parts to obtain its panoramic modal parameters is also developed. Secondly, the proposed zero-contact image-based tracking CSLDV system consists of a single-point laser head, a scanner with a pair of orthogonal mirrors, a camera, and a controller. The camera takes images of the rotating structure. A novel edge detection method is proposed for processing images captured by the camera to determine positions and angular velocities of the rotating structure. One-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) scan schemes are proposed for generating 1D and 2D scan paths on the rotating structure based on estimated positions of the rotating structure. The laser spot of the image-based tracking CSLDV system can be swept along generated scan paths by controlling rotation angles of mirrors of the scanner. A lifting method and an improved demodulation method are proposed to process measured responses of the rotating structure and estimate its modal parameters, such as damped natural frequencies, undamped mode shapes, and modal damping ratios. The image-based tracking CSLDV system can estimate modal parameters of a rotating fan blade with constant speeds or non-constant speeds.
“High-speed camera-based structural identification beyond 1/100.000th of a pixel”
by Professor Janko Slavič, University of Ljubljana
Prof. Slavič is a recipient of the Fulbright scholarship (University of Texas at Austin 2005-2006) and is a co-author of 82 scientific articles, 56 of which are in category Q1.
His works have been cited over ten thousand times. As a mentor or co-mentor, he has supervised 16 completed doctoral theses. In the last 10 years, his research has made significant contributions to the development of science in four scientific areas: vibration fatigue, experimental modal analysis based on high-speed camera recordings, 3D printing of sensors, and research based on open-source code.
ABSTRACT
Image-based measurement techniques have recently gained popularity and are increasingly used in various applications as a viable alternative to traditional measurement methods. Image-based techniques offer high spatial density of information, and with advancements in hardware, they can also provide a high frequency of image acquisition, such as 20k frames per second at megapixel resolution.

Ancona is situated in the centre of Italy, in the Marche Region, on a beautiful harbour facing the Adriatic Sea, 210 km northeast of Rome and 200 km southeast of Bologna.
It’s Greek name, Ankon, means elbow.
The town, in fact, stands on a promontory that has the shape of an elbow, offering spectacular sunrises and sunsets over the sea.

ABOUT ANCONA
Vincisgrassi
A variant of the classic lasagna, it is a typical Sunday lunch dish.
Legend has it that in 1799 a chef from Ancona cooked this dish for General Windisch-Graetz, from which the name “Vincisgrassi” derives.The ingredients for this delicious recipe are: fresh egg pasta, meat sauce, parmesan cheese and béchamel.
Moscioli
This is without doubt the “historic” wine of the district.
Mentions of it date back to Pliny (AD 23/24 – 79).
It is mainly suitable for meat-based dishes, which bring out the austere flavour and moderate tannins.
If aged for at least two years, it becomes Rosso Conero Superiore, which is softer on the palate, with a strong fruity component.
Made from Verdicchio grape variety, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is a DOC wine produced in the provinces of Macerata and Ancona.
Thanks to the particular quality of the soil, the good exposure and the cool sea breezes, this wine offers a complex aromatic profile.
Structured, full-bodied, elegant, it has a straw-yellow colour with evident greenish reflections. Verdicchio is ideal for pasta dishes, risotto and fish-based dishes.
Moving uphill from the port, we reach the nearby Colle Guasco. Here we find the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre, an impressive construction of the Augustan period. Attached to it is what many believe to have been a “school for gladiators”, housed in a building with mosaics of the same period.
This is where some of the most important monuments of Ancona can be found, such as Palazzo del Governo, the Church of San Domenico and the statue of Pope Clement X.
It takes its name from Mount Conero, which forms the homonymous promontory overlooking the sea.
At the foot of Mount Conero there is a whole series of white pebble beaches, bays, sea caves and woods surrounded by unspoilt nature.

Tracking showreel
Leading camera-based motion measurement systems for displacement measurements, motion magnification, vibrations and modal analysis, acoustics, full-filed responses, Schlieren and more.
Measure thousands of points simultaneously with sub-micron accuracy!
MotionScope – Visualizing the invisible
Recent times have seen major advances in digital cameras, imaging techniques and visual analysis. Gone are the days of VGA resolution! Cameras now record HD and even 4k. Frame rates above 100 fps are not uncommon in modern consumer devices.
Motion Scope is a modern venture set at developing and implementing new, industry-leading and innovative technologies in the field of computer vision and imaging into easy to understand and intuitive products.
The company evolved from doctoral research on measuring structural vibrations with high-speed cameras. Structures ranging meters in size will exhibit vibrations ranging in microns, but can still be measured with cameras. The technology has proven to be more than prospective and warrant real-world use. This, coupled with mechanical and electrical engineering skill-set and years of high-speed imaging experiences brings us to Motion Scope.
We push the boundaries of what can be visually observed, by: peering into microscopic scales, warping time with high-speed imaging and measuring or visualizing minute motion far bellow the pixel scale with our tracking and motion magnification software.
The company is based in Slovenia (EU) and does business internationally. Our customers are predominately businesses and research institutions.
LASER VIBROMETERS
The measurable vibrations range from few tens of pm, to tens of mm, for frequencies from DC up to 100kHz, or 10MHz (with the ultrasound extended bandwidth option).
Julight Laser Vibrometer are capable of measuring directly onto any type of diffusive surface, without the need to use retroreflective painting or stickers, up to several meters distance. Working distance goes from 100mm to 5m for standard versions based on laser safety class 1 infra-red measuring laser, and up to 30m with long-distance option and laser safety class 3B.
LASER TRIANGULATION SENSORS
LASER VALVE MOTION SYSTEM
The basic version features one or more zero-delay laser triangulation sensors, which supply real-time displacement of the valves with high resolution, in the form of displacement, velocity and acceleration signal outputs. The zero-delay feature greatly help testers in the acquisition/interpretation of the valve lift, without the need to continuously synchronize the delay with respect to the camshaft/crankshaft encoder for varying rotation regimes.
An optional Laser Doppler Vibrometer based on SMI technology can be added, to allow automatic and real-time subtraction of the unwanted (but always present in practical experiments) vibrations of the engine head. The VSM system can be controlled by a PC using a dedicated software that communicates via Ethernet.

Nova Series:
Digital Free Beam SWIR Laser Vibrometer
The Nova series is a modern and digital free beam laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), which works with a SWIR measuring laser (Short-Wavelength-InfraRed; SWIR). The Nova series is essential when every decibel is important for the signal level or exceptional dynamic range is required. Typical scenarios relate to structures that reflect visible light poorly, such as dark and rough surfaces or biological tissue. Even when measuring over long distances, for example in construction or on glowing surfaces such as turbine blades in the aerospace industry or in vehicle and plant construction, the signal strength is crucial.
Measurements on carbon composite panels or other non-cooperative materials can be carried out just as easily as measurements at distances of more than 200 m, without the need to treat the surface of the measurement object.
