A practical reference for noise and vibration engineers
Written by Prosig’s engineers and specialists, the Noise and Vibration Measurement Handbook brings together decades of practical experience in one free guide. Whether you’re new to noise and vibration testing or an experienced engineer looking for a quick reference, it covers the essentials from sensor to result.
The handbook is organised around three themes:
- Sense: choosing and using the right sensors, from accelerometers and microphones to strain gauges
- Measure: basic and advanced measurement methods, including sampling, filtering and hammer impact testing
- Analyse: turning measurements into insight, from Fourier analysis and octave bands to rotating machinery and order analysis
It also includes real-world case studies from aerospace, automotive, space and power generation. Read it online below, or download the full PDF to keep.
