Southern Research offers Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) training to engineers on the fundamentals of noise and vibration. This is usually a one-day training and will be held at the Southern Research 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 course is designed to educate anyone who is interested about the NVH field. The handouts will include a basic theory section and an experimental section. The hands-on session will include a demonstration of the use of a to use a two channel fast Fourier transform (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 hands on lab sessions in the afternoon. The following general NVH topics will be covered:
