Mechanical Engineering Division - Vibration Laboratory

The Vibration Laboratory and Wake Simulation Laboratory are very oldest and unique in its nature, were established in Mechanical Engineering Division in the eighties. These two laboratories were come into existence under the leadership of Shri T.V. Gopalan who headed the Mechanical Engineering Division nearly more than a decade. It would not have been possible to have such a wonderful laboratory as stood up-front today than as it was seen before was probably with able guidance and support from Shri C.S. Sreenivasan, who served the Institute as Director from 1980–1983.

The Vibration lab was first established in the year 1980, while the Wake Simulation Laboratory was subsequently came into existence after few years. Special thanks and credit goes to Shri T.V. Gopalan, as Head of Mechanical Engineering Division for having constructed the WSL at very low expenditure by using tested tower parts and employing the in house welders. As on today and as things stand on, we are quite confi dent of offering our high ended services in terms of product development, Research and testing not only limited to power sector but also to others.
