Description of set up

Fig k shows the general set up rectangular section bar is supported at both ends in turn
union fittings exciter unit with the platform can be clamped at any convenient position
along the beam exciter unit is connected to the damper which provided the necessary
damping

Apparatus Required

Theory
Procedure

1 arrange the set up as shown in fig k

2 connect the exciter to D C motor exec assembly all full only upend

3 start th motor and allow the system to vibrate

4 wait for ¾ th of a minute for amplitude to the buildup for the particular forcing
frequency

5 adjust the position of strip- chart recorder take the record of amplitude v/s the time
on the strip- chart by starting recorder motor

6 take record by changing force frequency

7 repeat the experiment for different damping

8 plot graph of amplitude v/s frequency for each dampen
