Learn How to Set Up a Force Measurement Chain

Wednesday, January 22, 2020 10:00 - 11:00 CET online

How do I connect a force transducer to an amplifier? In our live crash course, HBM product managers Thomas Kleckers and Michael Guckes guide you through the process of setting up a measurement chain step-by-step.

The content of the course is tailored to the requirements of machine builders, automation companies, beginners who are looking for an introduction to force measurements and experts who want to freshen up their knowledge on the latest requirements for calibration intervals and product innovations.

Accurate Load Measurements in Marine Engines

Tuesday, February 18, 2020 10:00 AM CEST online

Stringent regulations on emissions for marine engines are making it more difficult for the industry to stay cost effective. An accurate load measurements can ensure that ships fulfill to the new standards while remaining competitive.

Understanding Source of Noise of Electric Engines

Tuesday, February 18, 2020 02:00 AM CEST online

Electrification has changed how we experience a vehicle’s noise and how the vibration effects the durability of parts. Testing for noise and vibration and electrical quantities at the same time will provide an extended insight into how the electric machines and inverters are causing noise and vibration and how to amplify or mitigate it.

Introduction to Structural Dynamics and Analysis

Wednesday, February 19, 2020 10:00 AM CEST online

The webinar gives an overview of structural dynamics measurement and analysis techniques and applications in order to better understand and optimise the dynamic behaviour of structures. The topics are explained in an easy-to-understand manner with focus on examples and practical aspects.

The fundamentals described in this introductory webinar is followed up by a series of more in-depth webinars on Operating Deflection Shapes (ODS) analysis, Classical Modal Analysis and Operational Modal Analysis.

Accelerometers for Beginners

Tuesday, February 19, 2020 02:00 AM CEST online

This webinar will discuss how to select an accelerometer, how to properly use it and take care of it.

Building sensors based on strain gauge technology

Thursday, February 20, 2020 10:00 AM CEST online

This webinar will give you a short introduction to strain gauge based sensors. Learn how to identify the right strain gauge for your application.

ODS – Vibration Patterns under Operating Condition

Thursday, February 20, 2020 02:00 PM CEST online

Operating Deflection Shapes (ODS) analysis determines the vibration patterns of a structure under operating conditions. The vibration patterns are shown as animated geometric models and display a combination of the forcing function acting on the structure and the dynamic properties of the structure.
ODS analysis can be done both in the time and spectral domain by relatively simple means. It provides very useful information for understanding the dynamic behaviour of structures and is one of the most used applications in structural dynamics.

Signal measurement in full-scale aircraft testing

Friday, February 21, 2020 10:00 PM CEST online

In this webinar we will guide you through typical overall requirements in high-channel count mixed signal measurement, the so-called Iron Bird Test, sketching out how a data acquisition setup might look like and how to get more insights of your data.

Electrical & Optical Strain Gauges in Wind Turbine

Friday, February 21, 2020 02:00 PM CEST online

Understand the possibilities, and limitations, of different strain gauge types when used in the harsh environment of offshore wind turbine applications. This webinar covers sensor selection and installation and explains where the hidden costs are, for both design validation measurements, and long-term structural health monitoring. Learn how to avoid expensive mistakes in measurement system configurations for monopiles, jackets and gravity base structures.

Joining a webinar is easy: You just need a computer, internet and headphones or speakers.

What you need to know about our webinars

What is a webinar?
The word webinar is a combination of web and seminar: A webinar, as the name implies, is an online seminar, presentation, course or - in some cases - discussion, that aims at teaching the attendees something about the webinar topic.

How can I attend one of the HBM webinars?
Choose a webinar from the list. Click on the title to be directed to a subpage with information on the event and a registration button or directly to the registration page in our online webinar center, called WebEx. Follow the instructions to register for the webinar.

Which hardware do I need to attend a webinar?
You need a computer with an internet connection and speakers or a headset to listen to the presentation.

What happens if I have technical problems during the webinar?
No problem: During the webinar, you can address the presenter or the moderator via the Q&A feature. Your problem will be solved instantly.

Can I ask questions during the webinar?
You can use the Q&A feature to ask questions, which will be answered after the presentation.

Do I need to pay for HBM webinars?
No, all our webinars are free.

What if I register, but miss the webinar?
If you cannot attend the webinar, you usually get the chance to watch a recording of the webinar on HBM.com a few days later. If you're registered, you will also receive an email with more information after the webinar.
