    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for picking up signals from an impact vibration sensor, which comprises: sampling impact vibration signal; averaging and identifying a maximum value of the impact vibration signal; determining whether the maximum value is located in the middle of the sampling data; if yes, determining whether sampling data on both sides of the maximum value exhibit monotonic increase or monotonic decrease and values are approximately the same, and determining appropriate sampling data is collected if three requirements are all met; if not, adjusting sampling data until requirements are met. Processing signals collected by the impact vibration sensor in the time domain allows for obtaining impact vibration signals that meet requirements. The accuracy of the signals is high, enabling real-time signal acquisition. Additionally, corroborating the results of time-domain processing through frequency-domain analysis enhances the reliability and accuracy of the collected signals.

    Abstract: A shock isolator is arranged between two automated coupler parts in a vibration testing unit. When the coupler parts are engaged and coupled during vibration testing of a component, the shock isolator is disabled, and when the coupler parts are disengaged and decoupled after vibration testing, the shock isolator is activated to absorb excess shock energy and prevent shock transfer between the coupler parts that would damage the test component. The shock isolator includes a bushing that is inserted in a lower part of the two automated coupler parts and a compressive fit rod that is press-fit into the bushing. The bushing has a chamfered volume and the compressive fit rod has a corresponding compressible volume that is displaced into the chamfered volume to disable the shock isolator. After vibration testing, the compressive fit rod is expandable to a regular shape to activate the shock isolator.

    Abstract: An inspection device includes: a data recording unit which records, in advance, change of a natural frequency caused when a rigidity of a supported part of an inspection target object and a damage size of the inspection target object are changed; a measurement unit which measures vibration response of the vibration-applied inspection target object; and an estimation unit which estimates the rigidity of the supported part of the inspection target object and the damage size of the inspection target object, simultaneously, on the basis of change of the natural frequency between a natural frequency of the inspection target object calculated from the vibration response and a natural frequency obtained by measuring the inspection target object whose damage state has already been known, and the change of the natural frequency recorded in the data recording unit.

    Abstract: A one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) scan scheme for a tracking continuously scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (CSLDV) system to scan the whole surface of a rotating structure excited by a random force. A tracking CSLDV system tracks a rotating structure and sweep its laser spot on its surface. The measured response of the structure using the scan scheme of the tracking CSLDV system is considered as the response of the whole surface of the structure subject to random excitation. The measured response can be processed by operational modal analysis (OMA) methods (e.g., an improved lifting method, an improved demodulation method, an improved 2D demodulation method). Damped natural frequencies of the rotating structure are estimated from the fast Fourier transform of the measured response. Undamped full-field mode shapes are estimated by multiplying the measured response using sinusoids whose frequencies are estimated damped natural frequencies.
