EXPERIMENT 3 : VIBRATIONS OF THIN SLENDER BEAMS

[Experimental Methods in Engineering II _ Experiment ]

PURPOSE OF EXPERIMENT

It shows that the rigidity value, which is the ratio of the applied load to the amount of deflecti
on of the beam, is different for different materials and beams of different thicknesses.

Since the differential equation of the eigenvalue problem is homogeneous, its solution

can only be specified as a form. This is because the solution Multiplication by a constant
number is also a solution. With the help of four boundary conditions, two of which are
geometric and two are dynamic, both the shape of the solution and the solution

parameters were obtained. When the effect of the module on the frequency parameter is
examined,

larger module values, a lower frequency parameter

results in.

The characteristic (frequency) equation that gives the characteristic value is obtained.

We have our vibrator and thin rod in our experiment. The thickness of the thin rod relative to
its length does not have much of an effect.
We also have a control unit that controls the vibrator. 
There is a place in this unit where we adjust the amplitude. Then we can adjust the
frequency.
