Btrueblood,
Yes, we used a few different devices, including a back massager (we didn't have a shaker table available), and were able to match the voltage spikes to the frequency of the massager's oscillations. I wasn't sure how to calibrate for amplitude though, seeing as piezos exhibit...
IRstuff,
We have a redundant system set up to compare with our Piezo data (ADIS16460 Gyro and Accelerometer). We are working on this project to create a low cost, decently high resolution solution for future teams and the layman to be able to create at home. It's not about reinventing the...
I came here because I am a technician already, do not have any staff on campus that can assist with this (Piezo), do not have a campus library with books on this subject and have not received help from any other source I have tried to use thus far. Even a link to a few resources that show...
Hello everyone,
we are looking for Physical hertz data (Just frequency and Amplitude of vibration). We do not need anything more than that with the piezos. Taken from the summary above:
"but this year I want to maximize the resolution, calculate the frequency and amplitude of the vibrations...
Good afternoon,
I am the team lead for the NASA SPACE Flight Design Challenge at Blue Ridge Community & Technical College. I am trying to figure out the best type of Piezoelectric ceramic to purchase for measuring the harmonics of a sub-orbital rocket launch (RockSat-X initiative). Last year I...
