LAVINYA - "LAser VIbrometer Network: sYstems and Applications"

Thematic Network of the European Union speficied to support research and training in the field of vibrastion measurments. Vibration measurement is of primary interest in many fields. A variety of measurement techniques exist; amongst all of them, laser techniques for vibration measurement have a series of undoubted advantages, mostly due to the non-contact nature of the optical probe and the unparalleled characteristics offered by the use of coherent monochromatic laser light as primary carrier of information. LAVINYA focuses its activity on such techniques, which offer the most interesting perspectives of progress for vibration measurements in terms of measurement instruments and of innovative applications.
