Working with accelerometers / ACC-HHBES

Seminar description:

This seminar provides an overview of the features of accelerometers and how they work. Special emphasis will be placed on miniature sensors. In a practical training session, participants will learn at various workstations manned by specialists how to identify and avoid potential sources of error and the causes of failure in vibration and impact/impulse measurements. A number of measuring devices and sensors will be available. Participants will also gain valuable insight into installation/removal procedures and will practice verifying that the equipment is in good working order.

Practical part with exercises:

• Attachment and detachment techniques
• Methodical testing of the frequency response for selected attachment methods
• Use of suitable fixing adhesives as well as detachment and cleaning of sensors
• Noise and humming, avoidance of ground loops
• Resolution limits when taking measurements
• Lateral acceleration effects
• Base strain and thermal effects
• Mass loading effects on structures
• Testing and calibration of sensors
• Working with cables and replacement on miniature sensors

Seminar content:

• Introduction to principles and features of accelerometers
• Guidelines for working properly with accelerometers
• Detection of sources of error and causes of failure during measurements

Goal:

At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to work properly with accelerometers and avoid measurement errors.
