Abstract

Aim of the paper is to evaluate the reliability of a novel configuration of a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) for the measurement of vibrations affecting rotating components of machines. In the paper an analysis of errors due to the possible static misalignments of the mirrors utilized in an experimental apparatus has been carried out. This instrument was set up for the estimation of the out of plane vibrations of moving (rotating) objects, in order to give a better characterization of the self-tracking technique employed with the use of a 1D single point LDV and its measurements. The accuracies of the measures are mostly linked to the interaction between environment and instrumentation.
