Zero-gravity testing of a six-axis vibration isolator and innovative sensing for low frequency vibrations (Stewart Platform 2)

Persons :

• Prof. dr.  PREUMONT André - Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)
  Coordinator of the project
  Financed belgian partner
  Duration: 1/12/2006-31/12/2007
  

Description :

The objectives of the program are:

- Test a novel design of 6-axis vibration isolator with simplified electronics;
- Test new vibration sensors (geophones) to improve the sensitivity at low frequency;
- Improve the test procedure for performance evaluation (transmissibility).
