Signalysis
announces Product Resale Agreement
with
Bruel & Kjaer North America
Cincinnati, OH,
June 1, 2005 – Signalysis, Inc. announced
today that it has signed an agreement with Bruel &
Kjaer North America that provides for B & K to be a
reseller of the SigQC software for Production Line
Testing. B & K will continue to sell the software
under the name “PTA” Production Test Advisor in
conjunction with sales of their PULSE analyzers product
line.
Many products, from domestic appliances to automotive
components, possess intrinsic vibration and sound
characteristics that can be used as indicators of
mechanical integrity and conformance to design performance
criteria. SigQC/PTA is a production line test system that
meets the demands of manufacturing to automate a process
that identifies and sorts product defects on the assembly
line using dynamic measurements such as noise and
vibration. SigQC/PTA integrates quickly and seamlessly
into the PLC controlling a functional production test
stand, and provides a wide range of statistics, criteria,
strategies and Pass/Fail methods.
Also, as part of the new agreement,
Bruel & Kjaer will resell the Signalysis SigATM
software. The SigATM application was designed for
laboratories that run standardized or repetitive tests,
completely automating test requests ensuring
repeatability. SigATM harnesses the power of ActiveX control and interfaces to
Microsoft Office products allowing
test engineers to respond to even the most
demanding test requests. SigATM also interfaces to PULSE,
adding value to system sales.
Signalysis will also continue to
provide start-up assistance, training and consulting to
Bruel & Kjaer Production Test/PULSE customers.

Signalysis. 513-528-6164 X111.

SLAM
interface to OnoSokki Sound Level Meters
Cincinnati, OH,
June 1, 2005 – Signalysis, Inc. announced
today that the SLAM outdoor amphitheater sound monitoring
system now interfaces to the OnoSokki line of Sound Level
Meters. The OnoSokki line offers enhanced this is
what I need to find out.
In addition the SLAM software has
been upgraded to now offer 30 second leq readings offering
more flexibility and data control.
The OnoSokki meters are in use at the Ford Amphitheater
in Tampa, Florida to monitor sound levels for all
concerts.

Experimental Structural Dynamics
An Introduction to Experimental Methods of
Characterizing Vibrating Structures
Cincinnati, OH,
July 1, 2005 –Robert E Coleman, Senior
Applications Specialist, Signalysis, Inc. has released his
new book “Experimental Structural Dynamics: An
Introduction to Experimental Methods of Characterizing
Vibrating Structures”.
About the Author
Robert E.
Coleman pursued a career largely in aerospace engineering,
although his academic background is entirely physics. His
work has spanned 44 years, beginning with Polaris Rocket
testing at the U.S. Naval Propellant Plant, and continues
with Signalysis, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio. His most
significant effort may have been as part of NASA’s SMIS
project while working at Johnson Space Center in Houston,
TX. Here, analytical finite element and experimental modal
test methods were combined to analyze Shuttle Orbiter
structural integrity after space flight missions. Coleman
was presented the Astronaut’s Silver
Snoopy Award for his contribution. Some of the NASA
technology has been brought to bear at Signalysis, using
intrinsic vibration characteristics to detect product
defects on assembly lines of numerous plants across the
U.S. and abroad.
About the Book
It
is not uncommon to find engineers in test labs or design
groups who have not had occasion to use the mathematical
tools acquired in college. When suddenly faced with
vibration issues they find themselves ill equipped to get
a solid grasp of the vibration process. It is the intent
of this technical reference to provide access to vibration
theory, initially at a very elementary level, then
progressing from basic analytical formulations toward the
more mature mathematical representations associated with
eigenvectors and the Fourier Transform.
Mode
shapes are introduced without any reference to the
eigenvalue problem, but connected immediately to simple
coordinate transformations in two and three dimensions.
This allows a rather simple picture of operators,
ultimately leading to a straight forward derivation of the
Frequency Response Function (FRF) formula.
It is
hoped that many engineers will find their way back into a
more analytical approach to vibration problems.
Experienced analysts and academics were given
consideration as well, providing fresh viewpoints from
time to time, such as the development of modal force as a
contravariant vector, providing a detailed view of the FRF
as a superposition of modal FRFs.
