Picture the scenario; you have captured some noise & vibration data from a rotating machine. Typically, this might be noise in a vehicle cabin, but could have been anything from…
So you've got some noise and/or vibration data from a rotating machine, but no speed information. Surely that means you can't analyse against speed or do any order analysis, right?…
One of the most searched for and read topics on the Noise & Vibration Measurement Blog is that of converting between measurements of acceleration, velocity and displacement. To help anyone…
Our previous collection of cool engineering videos in 2010 proved so popular that we just had to make another list. So here we present another 10 really cool engineering videos.…
Whether you call them spikes, glitches, anomalies or data dropouts, these phenomena have been a problem to engineers ever since they started recording data. There are any number of reasons…

In the meantime you will be able to download and preview the new package. You will of course need a P8000 system and a DATS licence with the Hammer Impact option enabled. (more…)
There are many reasons to measure and analyze noise. It may relate to legislation or regulations that limit noise in certain environments, we could be using the noise to investigate…
Following on from the recent post regarding of the 2012 Survey Prize Draw we have more prize giving news.
The 2nd Annual Prosig Prize for Engineering at Portsmouth University has been awarded to Ashley Stehr for his project “Developing an engineering mechanism to reduce the effects of rapid rotational motion caused by the shocks inherent with high speed craft”. (more…)
Thank you to everyone who completed our 2012 User Survey. The results were, as always, fascinating and will be used to improve our future hardware & software products. We are…
The 2nd Annual Prosig Prize for Engineering at Portsmouth University has been awarded to Ashley Stehr for his project “Developing an engineering mechanism to reduce the effects of rapid rotational motion caused by the shocks inherent with high speed craft”. Ashley is in his third year studying for an MSc in Mechanical Engineering. His project was supervised by Dr Ya Huang. Ashley’s project poster is shown below (click for a larger view).
Recently, we decided it was about time we had a new model for testing, training and demonstrations. Specifically, we wanted something that would allow us to test the full capability…
