Optical Vibration Analysis with Linear CCD Sensor and Reconfigurable Hardware

This article introduces a research on vibration analysis. The goal of the research is to develop a novel method that is convenient to use and can be used flexibly for measuring displacement, amplitude, frequency and analyze the spectrum of data. The designed equipment is a portable, handheld box with all the required sensors, data processing and display which can do the job without auxiliary equipment like PC, measurement amplifier or DAQ devices.
