Equipment Grant
An informal alliance between the state of Ohio universities, government labs and industry was formed in mid to late 90s. This was led by the Center for Automotive Research (Ohio State University) and the Structural Dynamics Research Laboratory (University of Cincinnati). A $1.85 million equipment proposal was submitted to the Ohio Board of Regents and it was approved via a multi-staged competitive review process. Professor Raj Singh was the principal investigator of this project. The equipment list included near-field acoustic holography equipment, a laser scanning vibrometer and and rotational laser system, a nonlinear dynamics test facility, a networked data acquisition system of high spectral bandwidth and concurrent monitoring capability, high frequency elastomer measurement system, a multi-channel active noise and vibration controller, and engine intake and exhaust noise measurement system. This new equipment created an unmatched noise and vibration control research infrastructure.
