Vibration
FREE VIBRATION OF A BEAM AND SPRING
Experiment that demonstrates the oscillatory motion of a rigid beam, pivoted at one end and suspended by a spring at the other. Fits on to the Free Vibrations Test Frame.
FREE VIBRATIONS OF A CANTILEVER
Experiment that uses the fundamental theory and Rayleigh's approximation to calculate the frequency of oscillation of a cantilever. Also utilises Dunkerley's method to predict the 'beam only' frequency. Fits on to the Free Vibrations Test Frame.
FREE TORSIONAL VIBRATIONS
Experiment that demonstrates the oscillatory motion of a disc attached to a slender rod. Fits on to the Free Vibrations Test Frame.
FREE VIBRATION OF A MASS SPRING SYSTEM
Experiment that uses simple harmonic motion theory to demonstrate how to calculate the frequency of oscillation of simple mass spring systems; demonstrates Hooke's law. Fits on to the Free Vibrations Test Frame.
SIMPLE AND COMPOUND PENDULUMS
Experiment for studying simple harmonic motion and the factors that affect the period of oscillation of pendulums. Fits on to the Free Vibrations Test Frame.
FREE AND FORCED VIBRATIONS
Bench top apparatus that investigates the free and forced vibrations of a rigid beam with a spring, and a simply supported beam. Demonstrates Rayleigh's approximation and Dunkerley's method.
