Product Description
Free Vibrations Of A Beam And Spring
Description of Free Vibrations Of A Beam And Spring
Free Vibrations Of A Beam And Spring is part of a range that explores free vibrations in simple one degree of freedom systems.
It introduces students to key scientific terms such as:
- Simple harmonic motion and frequency of oscillation
- Moment of inertia
- Oscillation damping
- Spring constant and Hooke’s Law
- Phase difference between displacement and its derivatives
Free Vibrations Of A Beam And Spring fits to the sturdy Test Frame for study or demonstration.
This product includes a beam pivoted at one end, with the other end suspended by a coiled spring. You can compare this with the mass-spring system, except the mass moment inertia of the beam replaces the simple mass. This common system appears in machines and vehicle suspensions.
Experiments of Free Vibrations Of A Beam And Spring
- Spring extension and force, and Hooke’s law
- Phase difference between displacement and its derivatives
- Frequency of oscillation and varying mass moment of inertia by varying mass value
- Frequency of oscillation and spring constant
- Frequency of oscillation and varying mass moment of inertia by varying mass position
- Oscillation damping and coefficient
