    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    Wow, this get's really deep into it, unfortunately I have no means to follow up on such sophisticated setup. I guess that's as far as I can take it with this. Thanks

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    GregLocock, how should I have to setup and measure the ring modes only ? Thank

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    sreid, have a look at the picture I had posted. Considering I had used a small vise and considering as you stated fixed does not equal fixed I am absolutely not sure how fixed it is. electricpete, awesome, many thanks for taking the time to help me and to come up with the Excel sheet. Well...

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    Hi, well the material data came from a website, a company that makes ultrasonic transducers. I felt it was quite safe to use data they had posted for SS136. I had also found material data elsewhere which varied in some parameters but I am not knowledgeable in this field so I don't know if it...

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    Great stuff, many thanks for posting suggestions. Many Thanks electricpete for the Excel file. This is most helpful. But I am still a bit confused, as the Excel calculations indicate Frequencies that do not match my measurements. I wonder if I am wrong with my measurement ? Anyway, Thanks...

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    Thanks everybody for trying to help me with this. I am in particular interested in the fixed-free vibration mode. Is this equation as I had posted above the correct one to calculate this mode ? f = an * sqrt{E*(pi*(OD^4-ID^4)/64)/(MU*L^4)}/2*pi Thanks

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    electricpete, 1. I am using a piece of hard plastic and strike the tube on it side, somewhere half way in the middle of the tube length. I experimented with different 'impact' locations along the length of the tube but it seem to make not a big difference in terms of spectrum peaks. Once I...

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    electricpete, thanks for clearing this up. I did not understand where these values came from. I am new to this matter. So if I understand you right I will have to resolve this equation to f. f = an * sqrt{E*(pi*(OD^4-ID^4)/64)/(MU*L^4)}/2*pi I am trying to confirm my Experimental data for...

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    electricpete Thanks for your help, but what is an a1=3.52 a2=22.0 a3=61.7 a4=121 a5=200 some fetch factors ? 40818 Also, forgive me but what does FE stand for ? Is this some simulations software ? If so, can you post a link to it ? Thanks so much

    Resonance modes in cylindrical open steel tubes

    Hi Fellows, I like to ask for some help here. I am trying to calculate the resonant frequencies for a sample of an open stainless steel tube, free and mounted rigid on one end. I have done some measurements with and spectrum analyzer and got a couple resonance peaks. My goal with the...
