Vibration Testing

Vibration Set Up with Shaker

Vibration testing Setup

Location: Rutgers University Richard Weeks Hall of Engineering

The vibration setup allows for the testing of specimens at frequencies up to 5 kHz to determine material properties such as loss factor and Young’s modulus. The data collection is automated and collected simultaneously at two points of the mounted specimen. Materials that have been tested include epoxy, polymer matrix composites, and aluminum.

  • Minimum Frequency: 10 Hz
  • Maximum Frequency: 5 kHz
  • Sampling Cycle: 2.55 Microsecond
  • Number of Points Stored: 1,200,000
  • Minimum Frequency Resolution: 0.1 Hz
