Abstract

Measurement of Operational Deflection Shapes (ODSs) can be extremely useful for some applications which require an instant visualization of the deflection shape of a vibrating structure. There are several transducers available for measuring instantaneously such a quantity and the Scanning LDV (SLDV) is one of those. SLDV offers two different methods for fast measurements of ODS, which can be identified by the operating mode of the scanning mirrors. One method is called 'Fast Scan', FS-SDLV, where the laser beam is moved discretely over a grid of measurement points, while the other one is called Continuous SLDV, C-SLDV, and the laser beam is moved continuously over the surface following a prescribed pattern. This paper presents a comparison of the measurement of ODS using both techniques.
