Southern Research also offers NVH training for novice engineers to understand the fundamentals of noise and vibration. This is usually a one-day training, and will be at the SRI NVH Lab, where we have set up various practical demos, that showcase NVH problems and solutions.
In order to use the digital signal and sound analysis efficiently over the time and frequency range, it is necessary to have a proper theoretical background. The short course is designed to teach anyone who is interested in the NVH field; the handouts will include a basic theory section and experimental section. The hands-on session will show how to use a two channel FFT analyzer.
Basics (Fourier-transformation, convolution, Analog Digital Conversion); important signal processing methods such as the Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT, DFT), 3rd octave analysis such as special procedures (e.g. Wavelet transformation); presentation of the application examples with Southern Research program, discussion of advantages and limitations of each procedure.
Training will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions. Morning sessions will take place in a classroom setting with handson lab sessions in the afternoon. The following general NVH scopes will be covered:
