QTec challenge at the University of Sheffield’s LVV facility

 

Recently the LVV took up Polytec's LinkedIn challenge to give them a measurement task for their new QTec single point vibrometer. We suggested they visit the LVV to measure one of our helicopter blades. Despite the untreated carbon fibre surface and large displacements, the QTec demonstrated a clean signal with no speckle noise or signal dropouts. You can see a short video of the results below, thank you to Polytec, Dr. Nikolaos Dervilis and Dr. Robin Mills at The University of Sheffield for conducting the measurements.
