05. Introduction to Modal & ODS Analysis

The course objective is to provide a new user with a working knowledge of Experimental Modal Analysis, Operating Deflection Shape Analysis, and Visual Acoustic Analysis is from a Field Engineer perspective. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to create structural models of plant machinery, generate and import Experimental Modal and Operating Deflection Shape analysis measurements, and create machinery animations.

The training starts with an Introductory Analysis Lecture. This portion of the course provides background information on Experimental Modal and Operating Deflection Shape Analysis topics with extensive case histories and instructor experience.

• Advanced Analysis Without Complex Mathematics
• Understand Modes of Simplified Shapes (Beams, Plates, Shells)
• Extrapolate Simple Structures to More Complex Systems
• Simplifying the Frequency Response Function (FRF)
• Visual Interpretation of Modal Data & Modal Parameters
• ODS and Modal Case Histories

The training continues with 2 days dedicated to hands-on MEÍscope Software Training. The Hands-On training utilizes the MEÍscope Workbook ©. This is a Practical Step-By-Step Software Guide and Reference Source that can be consulted over and over again. Complex methodologies are completely worked out for the student ensuring Accurate Analysis and Repeatable Results. Projects cover all major MEÍscope VES Software Applications.

This course was designed by Full Spectrum Diagnostics to ñmeetî or ñexceedî the minimum requirements of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Vibration Analysis method outlined in ASNT SNT-TC-1A Recommended Practice and the minimum requirements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Specification Document ISO 18436-1 and ISO18436-2 with respect to course content, instruction hours, and examination format.
