Fig.2 Schematic diagram of experimental setup

Theoretical Background:
The differential equation for the lateral
vibration of a beam is obtained by considering the
forces and moments acting on a beam element as
shown in Fig.1. V and M are the shear and
bending moments, respectively, P(x) represents
the loading per unit length of the beam and y
represents lateral displacement.

Observation and discussion:

Beam parameters

· Length: 450 mm
· Width: 50 mm
· Thickness: 4 mm

Material Properties

· Young’s modulus: 200 GPa


3
· Density: 7800 kg/m

Question:

1. Does the mass of the accelerometer affect


the natural frequencies?
2. Why the theoretical results are different from
experimental results?
3. Why the difference is more prominent in
higher modes?
4. If we reduce the length of the given beam by
50%, what is the change in fundamental
frequency?
5. If we place the beam vertically instead of
horizontal will there be any change in natural
frequency? State the reason.
6. Why the exciter is placed near the root and
