the ambient vibration measurement is a kind of output data-only dynamic testing where the traffics and winds are used as agents responsible for natural or environmental excitation. therefore an experimental modal analysis procedure for ambient vibration testing needs to base itself on output-only data. the modal analysis involving output-only measurements present a challenge that requires the u...

It might be assumed that increasing the thickness of a glove would reduce the vibration transmitted to the hand. Three material samples from an anti-vibration glove were stacked to produce three thicknesses: 6.4, 12.8 and 19.2 mm. The dynamic stiffnesses of all three thicknesses, the apparent mass at the palm and the finger and the transmission of vibration to the palm and finger were measured....

The solid waste generated in the steel industry are predominantly recycled via agglomeration making route. In recent times, amount of fines percentage has increased sinter making, thereby affecting bed permeability which eventually affects quality. Hence, is to be monitored continuously. Currently conventional infrared based velocity measurement being used for this purpose. calculated on flow f...

The measurement accuracy of an interferometric optical test is generally limited by the environment. This paper discusses two single-shot interferometric techniques for reducing the sensitivity of an optical test to vibration; simultaneous phase-shifting interferometry and spatial carrier interferometry. ©2004 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (120.0120) Instrumentation, measurement and me...
