Continuous Scanning LDV by Signal Re-sampling Method: A New Signal Processing Approach

  • Conference paper

Abstract

In this paper an innovative method for the operating vibration measurement is shown, based on Laser Doppler Vibrometry exploited in the continuous scanning fashion. That method consists on the re-sampling of the LDV output signal so that the spatial information carried by the scanning laser beam all over the vibrating structure can be recovered with an arbitrary spatial resolution.

The proposed method allows to choose the laser spot trajectory better representing the deformation shape of the object surface during motion, for instance the triangular shape typical of micro eolic generators. In addition, the proposed approach solves the problems connected to aliasing effects due to reduced scan frequency of the scanning mirror in such a way that the parameter selection is blind and automatic.
