Sensors and Instrumentation Division - Updated May 2011
At IMAC 29, the Sensors & Instrumentation Technical Division organized three days of tutorial sessions with eighteen presentations on such subjects as accelerometer mounting, full field optical measurements, data loggers for difficult environments, flight test instrumentation, and low frequency vibration measurements.
The sessions were well attended and feedback was positive. We will be collecting many of the presentations from the tutorial and posted them at the TD website. A similar series of tutorials is planned for IMAC 30.
The fourth annual meeting of the TD was held at IMAC on Feb 1, 2011 with 25 people in attendance. Our guest speaker, Steve Moss of DTS, talked about “Challenges of Miniaturized Data Logging in Field testing and Harsh Environments”.
We also discussed developing new sessions for IMAC 30 on fiber sensors and energy harvesting for sensor nodes.
