Two short courses from CPD Dynamics
26 November 2008
CPD Dynamics is holding two short courses early in 2009, which should be of interest to those working in the area of vibration, noise, dynamics and environmental test engineering. The next Vibration Testing short course will take place on 25-26 February 2009 at the Novotel Milton Keynes. A demand for engineering products that can withstand severe dynamic environments has led to a steady growth in the sophistication of test procedures. Increased reliability and performance are required of many products ranging from consumer electronics to military hardware, and a demonstration of survival in a simulated vibration environment is a prime requirement of many procurement specifications.
This course provides an introduction to the technology of vibration testing and outlines the principal features of typical vibration test programmes. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of the subject and only the essential theory is covered. The course will include the use and development of test equipment for the artificial generation and measurement of appropriate vibration environments. Workshop demonstrations will be held to reinforce ideas introduced in the lectures. No prior knowledge of Vibration Testing is required and mathematics will be kept to the minimum necessary for an understanding of the subject.
The course has been revised in response to delegate comments from previous courses and will now be held over 2 days. There is a corresponding cost reduction and the course fee is now £450 per person. The course will cater for engineers working in environmental test laboratories and those concerned with reliability and type approval testing, product development and screening. Comprehensive notes covering all the lecture material will be provided.
The next Practical Signal Processing short course is scheduled for 25-26 March 2009. Digital signal processing equipment is widely used by engineers and scientists in the investigation of environmental and engineering problems. This course will be of value to those wishing to acquire a basic practical understanding of the techniques of signal processing.
The course will cover signal classification procedures, measurement techniques and recording methods, digital data acquisition, pre-processing, amplitude domain analysis, Fourier Transform and spectral functions, digital spectral analysis, input/output relationships, techniques for dynamic testing and multiple input/output systems.
Practical demonstration sessions will be held each day to provide an illustration of basic techniques, application areas and avoidable pitfalls in analysis procedures. A full set of lecture notes will be provided.
Information on both the above courses is available on the web site
