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
