Introduction
Free vibration is a phrase used to describe motion that is
predominantly the result of initial conditions, such as an initial
displacement of the mass element of the system from its
equilibrium position and/or an initial velocity, and does not
include any external forces. If there is no energy loss throughout
the motion of the system, the free vibration is said to be
undamped. The most basic vibratory system, which consists of an
inertia element and an elastic part that generates a restoring
force that tends to return the inertia element to its equilibrium
position, falls into this category. Friction or the presence of
components like dampers, which drain energy from the system,
may be the source of energy dissipation.

Intelligent Data Acquisition (IDA)
The process of digitizing data from the environment so that it may
be presented, examined, and stored in a computer is known as
data acquisition. All data collection systems include the three
fundamental components of a sensor, signal conditioning, and an
analog-to-digital converter to assist you in selecting the best
instrument for your application (ADC)

Accelerometer
Accelerometers are electronic devices that measure acceleration,
which is the rate of change of an object's velocity. Accelerometers
are useful for detecting vibrations in systems or for orienting
devices.

IMPACT HAMMER (8206)

The impact forces on small to medium-sized objects, such as
engine blocks, vehicle chassis, and automotive parts, can be
stimulated and measured using the impact hammers in this
family. Measurements
an accelerometer (or a laser velocity transducer) is used to
measure the response of the structure. A multichannel FFT
analyzer, such as the PULSETM instrument, can then be used to
determine the frequency response function and mode
morphologies of the test structure. In contrast to the use of an
electrodynamic exciter, an impact hammer offers a very portable
technique of excitation and does not add extra mass loading to
the test object.

 Force transducer: to measure force Generated by hammer.
 Extra mass: For applying more force.
 Connect trip: to connect the hammer to the controller
module.
 Handle frame: for safety purpose

Discussion
In order to obtain the machine-tool system's harmonic
information, such as its natural frequencies, modal masses, modal
damping ratios, and mode shapes, tap testing, also referred to as
modal testing, is an experimental technique. The impact hammer
is typically used as the excitation mechanism and an
accelerometer as the sensor for this under static conditions.
Theoretically, a perfect impulse that excites a variety of
frequencies with a consistent amplitude over an endlessly brief
period of time should be sent to the tool tip. This enables us to
acquire a clear frequency response function (FRF) across the
whole interest frequency range. This, however, is not feasible in
real life. The fact that the FRF occasionally exhibits noise at higher
frequencies suggests that the hammer tip may be too soft and
that the impulse strength may not be sufficient to excite the
higher frequency range. The hammer tip is too forceful and all
modes are activated much beyond the frequency range of interest
if the FRF is noisy at lower frequencies. Fortunately, we can
regulate the contact duration and impact force by changing the
hammer mass and stiffness, respectively, by utilizing different
sized hammers and varied hammer tip stiffness. The mixture is
expertly selected to stimulate the frequency range of interest.
