Acoustics is a very wide field that involves the study of sounds, their propagation, and the effects of their interaction with structures. Since acoustics waves are characterized by the transportation of energy, they can be used for exciting small-sized or flexible structures such as MEMS devices, small turbine blades, integral blade rotors (IBR), and biological tissues. While serving as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, I participated in a research aimed to characterize a novel non-contact excitation method for experimental modal analysis and structural excitation.
