IDD.Blade® and SHM.Blade® – Monitoring of rotor blades for the efficient detection of icing and structural damage   Icing and structural damage Authorities demand that a wind turbine (WT) is stopped in case of icing to protect the surrounding area against ice shedding. However, increased loads caused by unbalances due to icing also have a significant […]

SHM.Tower® – Our intelligent and cost-effective tower vibration monitoring system. Valuable for a precise analysis of the lifetime of your wind turbine for its further operation   Vibration monitoring and further operation   Every wind turbine has its own individual structural and vibrational behavior while being in operation. The vibration load of wind turbines, especially […]

Scope Each manufacturing process is driven by the demand for high-quality goods at minimum costs. When it comes to production equipment, like milling, turning, drilling or grinding machines, the inevitable vibrations originating from the cutting process are one important factor which could limit the above-mentioned goals. The common approach to conteract chatter vibrations is to […]

It is impossible to observe outer space through a telescope with a deformed mirror. How can you ensure ultra-precision positioning and compensate for any deformation? This is the mission entrusted to Micromega Dynamics for a future telescope in Turkey.   Wind turbines, machine tools, marine industries, aeronautics, automobile or railways … Micromega Dynamics feels at […]

The footbridge in Tours In the city of Tours, in France, a new footbridge has been constructed. As part of commissioning, vibration measurements are carried out. By means of modal analysis, dynamic parameters up to 6 Hz of the footbridge are identified: • Natural frequencies for all detected eigenmodes, • Damping ratios for all detected […]

A car that generates vibrations is tiresome and does not allow for a very comfortable drive. Before purchasing a car, the vibration level, the noise level and the hardness of the vehicle should first of all be tested and then quickly and effortlessly analysed. Vibration testing is essential and every automotive manufacturer or supplier aims […]

Last week, Micromega Dynamics was visiting Vestas Wind Systems and Siemens Wind Power to showcase its products and services in structural health monitoring, ice detection system and active and passive damping devices.          

By Dr. Ir. Nicolas Loix Some vibrations problems are directly related to structural resonances, which are specific frequencies at which dynamic perturbations are, sometimes hugely, amplified. The level of this amplification is inversely proportional to the internal damping of the structure. Hence, in order to reduce vibration problems related to resonances, one will want to […]

Begin of October, Micromega participated in “le salon à l’envers de Lorraine”, in France,  a good place for networking with neighboring countries !
