TecQuipment's Free Vibrations of a Cantilever (TM166) experiment is part of our range that delves into free vibrations in simple 'one degree of freedom' systems. This experiment introduces students to fundamental scientific concepts such as simple harmonic motion, beam stiffness, Rayleigh's method, Dunkerley's method, second moment of area, and phase differences in displacement and its derivatives. Specifically designed to work seamlessly with VDAS® (MKII) software which aids students in visualising displacement waveforms, measuring frequency, and calculating derivatives.
🎓 Learning Outcomes:
- Predicting oscillation frequency using Rayleigh's method and simplified assumptions.
- Understanding the phase difference between displacement and its derivatives.
- Investigating the relationship between horizontal cantilever length and frequency of oscillation.
- Applying Dunkerley's method to predict the 'beam only' frequency.
- Comparing vertical and horizontal cantilevers to understand variations.
