Abstract

The steady‐state real‐time velocity response at successive locations on a beam are measured with a laser vibrometer and stored in a computer. The scanning system associated with the vibrometer consists of precision linear translation stages to control a lens/mirror combination. The laser beam is scanned along the length of the beam and the flexural vibration of a sinusoidally driven beam is measured at several locations. The amplitude and phase data are recorded at each location as well as a signal proportional to and in phase with the driving force. Knowing the distance between measurement locations, the recorded data are used to compute any of the following: spatial derivatives, transfer functions, and intensity.
