Vibration Laboratory

Our center is fully equipped with a wide range of devices, ready to perform all kinds of tests in the field of vibration.

Shakers

• Modal Type Shakers (30 N, 400 N, and 500 N capacity)
• Environmental Test Shakers (400 N, 3 kN, and 10 kN capacity)

In addition to low-force modal shakers, our center has the capability and expertise to conduct tests at varying force levels using medium-capacity (3 kN) and high-capacity (10 kN) shakers

Conditioning Test Chamber

• A 600-liter conditioning chamber with a temperature range of -70°C to +150°C
• Temperature change (ramp) rates: 2, 5, 10, and 15°C/min

Configuration options:

• Temperature-only models
• Temperature and humidity combination models

At our center, expert professors and researchers conduct vibration and mechanical tests with the following capabilities:

Testing Capabilities

• General vibration measurements (velocity, acceleration, frequency analysis, RMS measurements, etc.)
• Modal vibration tests (natural frequency determination, frequency response function measurements, shaker tests, impact hammer tests, mode shapes and frequency determination)
• Environmental vibration and shock tests
• Sine sweep tests (according to MIL-STD-810 and similar standards)
• Resonance tests (according to MIL-STD-810 and similar standards)
• Random vibration tests (according to MIL-STD-810 and similar standards)
• Shock tests (according to MIL-STD-810 and similar standards)
• Lifetime tests with vibration input (in compliance with relevant standards)
• Cold and hot temperature tests (according to MIL-STD-810 and similar standards)

Sensors

• Single-axis accelerometers
• Three-axis accelerometers
• Single-axis piezoelectric force sensors
• Three-axis piezoelectric force sensors
• Single-axis load cells
• Laser vibrometers
• Non-contact displacement sensors
• Contact displacement sensors
• Impact hammers

With a laser velocity sensor, displacement, velocity, and acceleration data can be obtained without altering the system dynamics of the tested/measured product. Currently, one laser velocity sensor is available, and the procurement process for additional units is ongoing.
