Acoustics & Vibration Research Group

On behalf of the whole AVRG team, I would like to welcome you to our webpage.

The AVRG’s central goal is to conduct fundamental and applied research in the broad field of Acoustics & Vibration, with special emphasis on the development of advanced testing and system identification methodologies with application in mechanical engineering domain (Experimental and Operational Modal Analysis, Damage Assessment and Structural Health Monitoring, Offshore Wind Turbine Monitoring, Additive Manufacturing Modelling and Control, Optical Measurement Techniques).

On this website, you will be guided through all facets of AVRG. Who are the people behind AVRG, which exciting news do we have to announce, which projects are we engaged in, what equipment can we put at your disposal, which courses do we teach? What can we mean to you?

Enjoy the visit, and feel free to contact us if you need further information.

AVRG presents hybrid manufacturing at Machineering 2019!

Driven by our own research in smart structures, a hybrid manufacturing platform based on two Direct Energy Deposition machines combined with subtractive processes are built in-house at the department of Mechanical Engineering of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). Those machines should produce high precision metallic parts with integrated sensing. By presenting the beyond the state-of-the-art …

SBO project: Hi-PAS

We are excited and grateful to announce that FWO Flanders has granted a research budget of approximately 3 million €  for Hi-PAS that we have submitted as a coordinator. In the next 4 years we, together with our partners and the industrial advisory board, are willing to tackle some of the main challenges that are currently existing within laser-based additive manufacturing processes for metallic components in this …

AVRG was granted the large Hercules infrastructure grant HyLaFORM

In collaboration with the KULeuven PMA group and the VUB SURF and MeMC groups, AVRG is delighted to anounce that is was granted the large Hercules infrastructure grant called HyLaFORM and will act as coordinator for this grant. Within this project two hybrid additive-subtractive laser platforms will be developed. A first research platform that will be …
