Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
Finite element analysis and experimental modal analysis, for example, are becoming increasingly powerful and user-friendly.
However, it must be remembered that these are tools of the trade and not black boxes.
Engineering judgement must be exercised in all modelling and experimental activities to ensure against "garbage-in/garbage-out" and to interpret results to maximum effect.
This course aims to provide a firm grounding in the principles of vibration that underpin good engineering judgement.
The emphasis is on gaining physical insight into vibratory systems such the vibration response of a structure may be anticipated, at least in a qualitative sense, prior to modelling or testing.
The physical perspective encouraged by this course is helpful in unearthing mistakes before they become costly and flagging up cost-effective solutions to vibration problems.
The course is aimed at professional engineers in the automotive, marine and other industrial sectors with little to moderate background in vibrations and its applications.
Places are strictly limited due to the high practical content of the course.
