Course detail
Measuring Techniques for Technical Diagnostics
FEKT-MPA-MTDAcad. year: 2022/2023
The course deals with methods, sensors and instrumentation for measuring noise, vibration, ultrasound and thermovision diagnostics. Students will learn the technique of vibration measurement, noise and speed measurement as well as the basics of spectral analysis, bearings fault diagnosis, balancing and diagnostics of rotating machines. Other topics will be basics of modal analysis, calibration of sensors, use of thermal cameras and ultrasonic diagnostic equipment in industrial applications.
