WORKSHOPS
Workshop 1: Non-Contact Vibration
Characterization
Sunday, August 28, 2011
8:00am–5:00pm Location: Columbia A
Instructors: David Oliver (d.oliver@polytec.com)
Jerome Eichenberger
(j.eichenberger@polytec.com)
Overview:
Laser Doppler vibrometry has been used for non-contact
vibration characterization for several decades by leading
research institutes and companies. The technology has
become instrumental in a wide range of applications that include
automotive, aerospace, defense, data storage, micro
electronics (MEMS), ultrasonics and medical industries. Noncontact
vibration sensors are being used for basic research,
design development, model verification, process control, and
to troubleshoot unwanted vibration. A wide variety of laser
Doppler vibrometers are available, each tailored towards specific
needs. Single point vibrometers measure the vibration response
at just one location. Dual beam vibrometers are used to
measure vibrations at two points to remove common mode
vibrations. Rotational vibrometers measure the dynamics of a
rotating shaft or spindles. Among the higher-end systems, 3D
scanning systems are used to measure a tri-axial response and
map the vibrations across the entire surface of an object.
The morning session of the workshop will be focused on
dynamic characterization of macrostructures (structures ranging
in dimension from 1cm to 10s of meters) and the afternoon
session will be geared towards microstructure applications.
Each workshop session will consist of two parts: 1) an overview
over the fundamental principles of laser Doppler vibrometry and
how it integrates seamlessly into the design and development
process, and 2) a hands-on demonstration on Polytec’s highend
scanning vibrometers.

Workshop 2: Mechanical Engineering Design
Knowledge Modeling
Sunday, August 28, 2011
8:00am–5:00pm Location: Columbia B
Instructors: David Rosen (david.rosen@me.gatech.edu)
Joshua Summers (jsummer@clemson.edu)
Overview:
The primary objective of this proposed workshop is to clearly
define the needs and develop an outline for a research program
for capturing, representing, and modeling mechanical
engineering (ME) design knowledge. The idea is to model
knowledge about ME principles, for instance the conservation
of mass and energy, and their application to ME devices and
systems using standard techniques such as free-body diagrams
or control volumes. Further, the knowledge about how to
formulate models of devices and of design decisions should be
modeled. The proposed research program is a much grander
vision than other NSF sponsored projects and programs that
were focused on collecting repositories for artifacts (functions,
geometries, behaviors, etc.). A formalized language of
mechanical engineering is envisioned that will allow engineers to
communicate more precisely between each other and with
computers. The resulting formalized ME design knowledge and
language will be encoded and implemented in an openknowledge
repository. Such a knowledge repository could
capture the disparate and representationally diverse ME
knowledge of typical undergraduate students providing
numerous benefits: 1) standard for ME knowledge, 2) a
knowledge base to support engineering design, 3) a knowledge
base for computer-aided tutoring systems, and 4) more
generally a key component of the ME research and education
infrastructure. When considering the challenges associated
with developing a true Mechanical Engineering modeling
language (MEml), collaboration with many disciplines is
necessary. A convergence of artificial intelligence, engineering
informatics, description logics, and the semantic web with
mechanical engineering design research will be the enabling
factor to realize the vision of this research proposal and
workshop. The workshop is funded by a NSF grant from the
Engineering Design program in the CMMI Division.
