Course detail

Dynamic Measurement and Diagnostics

FSI-RZIAcad. year: 2025/2026

The students will be introduced to the fundamentals of technical diagnostics and dynamics measuring. The subject is focused on theoretical analysis and some results from technical applications will be presented

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

5

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

Ing. Lubomír Houfek, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Solid Mechanics, Mechatronics and Biomechanics (ÚMTMB)

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of basis of vibration in continuum mechanics
Knowledge of the fundamentals of vibrations of systems with 1 DOF

Knowledge of the fundamentals of vibrations of systems with n DOF

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The examination consists of two parts. The first is a written test and the second is an oral part. The test consists of 10 questions, where 10 points evaluate each question. It is necessary to obtain as minimum 50 points. The oral part is supplemental and is focused only on the technical diagnostics methods and their technical applications..


Attendance at practical training is obligatory. The absence can not be replaced with another group. In case of long-term absence, consultation with the teacher is necessary and the absence can be compensated by assigning special work.

Aims

The students will be made familiar with the fundamental principles of technical diagnostics, solution methods and approaches to the analysis. The exercises will be focused on solution of technical problems.


The students will obtain the overview of the methods which are applied in the technical diagnostics and their application in practice.
