Abstract
This project proposes Vibration Analysis Rig, a research initiative aimed at Mechanical Engineering learners. It combines MATLAB, Accelerometer, Python to deliver a functional prototype while reinforcing fundamentals. Budget and duration are estimates; actual costs vary by location and component choices.
Problem statement
Students in Mechanical Engineering often lack hands-on project ideas that connect theory with practice. Vibration Analysis Rig addresses a real-world need by applying MATLAB, Accelerometer, Python to solve a domain-specific problem.
Objectives
- Understand the core concepts behind Vibration Analysis Rig.
- Design and implement a working prototype using MATLAB, Accelerometer, Python.
- Evaluate performance and usability of the solution.
- Document findings and suggest improvements.
Key features
- Core functionality for Vibration Analysis Rig
- User-friendly interface or control mechanism
- Data logging or reporting where applicable
- Modular and extensible design
Implementation roadmap
- Research and requirement analysis
- System design and architecture
- Implementation of core modules
