Plateforme Science Innovation Vibro Acoustique
Aix-Marseille Université
PSIVA offers a wide range of services in the research field of acoustics and vibration. Notably, the facility equipments are internationally recognized for their high-levels of performance (e.g., low background noise, compliance with international standards) and ergonomy (e.g., assembly room, excitation booth in the basement, measurement and power pre-wiring with a large number of channels, remote control room).
PSIVA is made of:
-two anechoic room (370m3 anechoic and 550m3 semi-anechoic),
-two experimental halls (2x120m2),
-a complete high-tech set of instruments (e.g., laser vibrometers, multi-channel generation / acquisition systems, sensor networks, 3D robots) and complementary tools.

Vibro Acoustic
The facility is open to research communities of both the academic and private sectors.
Services include the full use of the facility instruments, complementary tools, and of the all working environment (e.g., preparation rooms, offices, cafeteria).
The use of the facility is quite flexible and can be easily re-scheduled, which minimizes the risk to not get any result in case an incident occurs during the first try.
The expertise and assistance of the on-site team and resources are also made available to to users. The PSIVA team is particularily skilled in dealing with low frequencies, controlled field tests, large number of channels acquisition, measurements in extreme conditions (e.g., low and high levels, nonlinear).
