2 Mechanical Engineering Laboratory I & II At UMASS Lowell, the laboratory course is taught in a two semester sequence. The first semester concentrates mainly on basic instrumentation, measuring techniques and processing of data. The second semester begins with the same format as the first semester with more complicated labs and ends with a five week project on designing a measurement system (A companion paper describes that project) 2 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

3 Mechanical Engineering Laboratory I The first semester concentrates mainly on basic measurement tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, digital data acquisition, etc), measuring devices (flow meters, manometers, pressure transducers, pitot tubes, strain gages, thermocouples, accelerometers, LVDTs, etc) methods for data collection/reduction (regression analysis, curvefitting, numerical processing) 3 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

4 Mechanical Engineering Laboratory I One laboratory project requires measurements for the displacement and acceleration of a simple mass-spring-dashpot system. Students acquire digital data using an LVDT and accelerometer to obtain this displacement and acceleration data. 4 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

5 Mechanical Engineering Laboratory I This final project requires extensive use of all material covered over the semester. The project requires significant numerical manipulation of data. Regression Analysis Data Cleansing Integration Differentiation 5 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

6 Problem The data acquisition system and transducers are intentionally selected such that the majority of possible errors exist in the data Drift Bias Offset Quantization Noise 6 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

7 Problem This data is integrated and differentiated to compare displacement measurements to acceleration acceleration measurements to displacement The actual numerical processing of the measured data is performed via spreadsheet calculations. I i y + y 2 ( x x ) = I i 1 i i i+ 1 i 7 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

8 Problem Students struggle with this less than perfect data to emphasize the importance of good measurements. Students re-visit the project at the end of the semester with better instrumentation and understanding of the problem at hand. A final report is then written covering all aspects of test/analysis and any recommendations to improve process. 8 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

9 Quantization Errors A 12 bit board with a 1 volt range and no AC coupling is used to measure an accelerometer that has approximately 3 mv peak signal.8.6 Typical Quantization Error Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

10 Noise Effects The measured LVDT signal appears to be acceptable until a closer look is made this has a pronounced effect on differentiation 1.8 Displacement Measured from LVDT.6 Disp (in) Time (sec) Displacement Experimental Zoom in on noise 1 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

11 Differentiation Effects with Noise Differentiation amplifies any noise which confuses the students until they realize the effects. 4 3 Velocity Comparison 2 1 Velocity (in/sec) -1 Differentiated Velocity Integrated Velocity Time (sec) High Frequency Noise on Signal After the second differentiation, acceleration trend is lost under amplified noise. 11 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

12 Offset Effects The accelerometer signal conditioner has a DC offset that has a dramatic effect upon integrating the signal to obtain displacement.6.4 Raw Accelerom eter Voltage Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

13 Integration Effect with Offset Integration smooths any noise but the trend is confusing if any offsets exist. 1.8 Plot of Displacement for a Spring-Mass System Displ (inch) c Displ. Meas. Displ. Calc. Time (sec) 13 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

14 Integration Effect with Offset Integration smooths any noise but the trend is confusing if any offsets exist Comparison of Calculated Veclocity 1. Velocity (ft/sec) First Derivative of Displacement First Integration of Acceleration Time (sec) Some realize the velocity is more reasonable 14 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

15 Student Ownership of Problem The students generally work hard to try to understand the problem and often do very well in/s/s.2.1 Displacement Accelerometer LVDT 4 2 Velocity seconds -.2 in/s -4 Accelerometer LVDT 4-6 Acceleration 3-8 seconds in/s/s -2 Accelerometer seconds LVDT The professor is just a guide or mentor to help direct them in trying to solve this problem. Beware No answer guide for the Professor either!! 15 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

16 Student Ownership of Problem Many times very novel and unique approaches result in an attempt to solve this problem. 15 Integration results acceleration Velocity Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor

17 Student Ownership of Problem Several students have also resorted to building low pass RC filters in Simulink to remove noise simout Filtered LVDT Data 1 Raw Data from LVDT Input Point 12 1/RC 1 s Integrator xdot Output Point Output Input vs. Output si mout1 Filtered Accelerometer Data 2 Raw Data from Accelerometer Input Point1 12 1/RC1 1 s Integrator1 xdot Output Point1 Output2 Input vs. Output1 17 Dr. Peter Avitabile, Assistant Professor
