Modal Analysis and Vibration Control Seminar – Plano

Explore Advanced Structural Dynamics and Vibration Testing with ATA Engineering and Siemens

Immerse yourself in a transformative two-day seminar where we will delve into the nuances of modal analysis and vibration control. This exclusive, in-person event is a chance to enrich your testing capabilities while connecting with likeminded professionals in this industry.

You are invited to sign up for either one or both days of this free seminar. Our agenda is crafted to deliver valuable insights through theoretical presentations, captivating live demonstrations, and extensive networking opportunities.

This event will answer questions like:

• What is fatigue damage? How does one measure damage and replicate it in a test?
• How do random, sine, and shock control work?
• How is a power spectral density calculated? How is a shock response spectrum calculated?
• How does one identify the natural frequencies and modes of a structure?
• How does one correlate and update modal simulation models?

Don’t miss your chance to join us for this unparalleled exploration of structural dynamics—view the agenda and register below.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
