Our articles on how to measure resonance and natural frequency are always amongst our most popular posts. This isn’t surprising considering what an important concept this is to the measurement of noise and vibration. So, in this post we have…
How do we design or modify a system to avoid resonance?
After finding the natural frequency of a system, what could be done to stop or reduce the systems resonance being excited? Basically put, how do we avoid resonance This is simple in theory, but not always so simple in practice.…
What Is Resonance? (Part 3)
In the previous two articles (What Is Resonance? (Part 1) & What Is Resonance (Part 2)) in this series we have looked at how we can identify a resonant frequency. Now we will discuss what happens next. What do we…
What is Resonance? (Part 2)
This article is a follow on from What Is Resonance? (Part 1) and answers some of the issues not covered in that post. How do you find the resonant frequency in the real world? What do you do when there…
Noise & Vibration Analysis: Back To Basics
Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to revisit some of the basic building blocks that form the foundation of what we do. And so we have gathered together a few of our most popular past articles that deal with the fundamental aspects…
5 Videos That Explain Resonance
One of our most popular articles here on the Noise & Vibration Measurement Blog is What Is Resonance? by James Wren. Since this is such an important concept in noise & vibration measurement we thought we’d see what videos we…
10 Outstanding Noise, Vibration And Acoustics Videos
For our latest collection of videos we’ve searched for the most interesting examples of noise, vibration and acoustic examples and applications we could find. A couple are educational, some are of technical interest and some are just LOUD!
10 Cool Engineering Videos
We’ve scoured the web (well, YouTube mostly) for the coolest engineering related videos we could find. Have you got your own favourite engineering videos? Please use the comment box at the end of this post to tell us what they…
What Is Resonance?
We hear the word used a lot, but what is resonance? First, in order to explain we have to explain the terms we will use. A period is the amount of time it takes to complete one cycle The number…
