Weekly Goals

• Compare the response of a accelerometer and a laser vibrometer on a single point in a out-of-plane direction
• Measure the response of a beam on several points along the beam with a acelerometer and a laser vibrometer
• Simulate the beam in Simcenter 3D
• Obtain the response of 3D measurements of a single point using the vibrometer
