Current support comes from external funding agencies including ONR, NSF, ARO and a wide range of industrial sponsors.
Projects focus largely on noise and vibration issues.
The Vibrations and Acoustics Laboratory is located in 2200 EECS Building and in 1106 G. G. Brown on the University's North Campus. These computers interface with an additional laboratory PC to provide a means for data acquisition. The laboratory is well equipped for experimental structural dynamics and acoustics testing. Current major equipment items include a dedicated structural dynamics analyzer, an anechoic chamber, a high speed video camera system, digital vibration controller, random vibration controller, vibration exciters, optical displacement probes, microphones, piezoelectric impact hammers, and a digital stroboscope. Among the many smaller equipment items also available are proximity probes, strain gauges, and piezoelectric force cells and accelerometers.
