Free Vibration Of Beam Spring

Model No: THMC-05

 

  • This product is part of a range that explores free vibrations in simple ‘one degree of freedom’ systems. 
  • This common system appears in machines and vehicle suspensions.
  • A back panel fixes to the Test Frame. 
  • The panel holds a pivot and a non-contacting displacement sensor. 
  • This product includes a beam pivoted at one end, with the other end suspended by a coiled spring. 
  • The pivot contains high-quality self-aligning bearings that hold the left-hand end of a rigid beam, while allowing it freedom to rotate through a small angle. 
  • The sensor measures the oscillations at the right-hand end of the beam with negligible damping, while working to guide the movement. 

Students to key scientific terms such as:

  • Moment of inertia, Oscillation damping.
  • Spring constant and Hooke’s Law.
  • Simple harmonic motion and frequency of oscillation.
  • Phase difference between displacement and its derivatives.
  • This product fits to the sturdy Test Frame for study or demonstration.
