A low-speed stereo-camera DIC setup was used in this paper to measure the down-sampled bandpass vibration signal of a plate in a given frequency range, which is much higher than the available frame rate. Down-sampled vibration measurements are well known in the literature. However, they are always subject to the strong hypothesis of having a single frequency component in the excitation source (e.g., pure sinusoidal excitation). In this scenario, several approaches can be found in the literature to reconstruct the actual response from the down-sampled data. In this paper, a data postprocessing algorithm is newly introduced to properly reconstruct the target response in the case of a frequency band excitation, thus relaxing the single frequency excitation constraint and allowing to explore a given frequency range with a single measurement. Additionally, a custom excitation signal is presented in this paper to achieve a constant intensity in the studied frequency range. The proposed approach is presented and experimentally validated by measuring a cantilever plate vibration in the kHz range using a 100 fps acquisition. A single acquisition of 98 frames allowed to describe the deformed shapes at 49 different frequency values in the range 1110-1160 Hz, highlighting two resonance peaks. The comparison with the results of multiple conventional single-frequency tests and LDV measurements confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract
A low-speed stereo-camera DIC setup was used in this paper to measure the down-sampled bandpass vibration signal of a plate in a given frequency range, which is much higher than the available frame rate. Down-sampled vibration measurements are well known in the literature. However, they are always subject to the strong hypothesis of having a single frequency component in the excitation source (e.g., pure sinusoidal excitation). In this scenario, several approaches can be found in the literature to reconstruct the actual response from the down-sampled data. In this paper, a data postprocessing algorithm is newly introduced to properly reconstruct the target response in the case of a frequency band excitation, thus relaxing the single frequency excitation constraint and allowing to explore a given frequency range with a single measurement. Additionally, a custom excitation signal is presented in this paper to achieve a constant intensity in the studied frequency range. The proposed approach is presented and experimentally validated by measuring a cantilever plate vibration in the kHz range using a 100 fps acquisition. A single acquisition of 98 frames allowed to describe the deformed shapes at 49 different frequency values in the range 1110-1160 Hz, highlighting two resonance peaks. The comparison with the results of multiple conventional single-frequency tests and LDV measurements confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
