Siemens: Vibration Control In-Person Seminar
February 11 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Siemens and our Simcenter Testing partner Electro Source are presenting two in-person engineering seminars on February 10th and 11th, 2026, at the Siemens office in Montreal.
- Modal Analysis (Feb 10)
- Vibration Control (Feb 11)
These seminars answer questions like:
- How to identify the natural frequencies and modes of a structure?
- How to correlate and update dynamic simulation models?
- How can I use field data to design a shaker test profile?
- How is a Power Spectral Density calculated? How is Shock Response Spectrum calculated?
- How do Random Control, Sine Control, and Shock Response Testing work?
8:30 AM Coffee/Pastries (Presentation starts at 9:00 am)
9:00 Introduction to Environmental Testing
- Replicating vibration environments
- Digital Signal Basics
- What is a Power Spectral Density?
