The GUNT Natural Vibration on a Ship Model (HM 159.11) is a trainer designed for students to explore experimental vibration analysis and modal analysis of ship structures. Using this unit, students study the dynamic behavior of a model ship, learning the fundamentals of vibration analysis in a practical, hands-on environment.
Product Features
- Experimental trainer for studying natural vibration and modal analysis of ship models
- Plastic model ship with nine ribs and an elliptical line plan for simplified mathematical analysis
- Ship attached to a rigid cross-member via springs; cross-member has negligible natural frequency
- Electrodynamic vibration exciter for controlled vibration of the model
- Function generator with adjustable amplitude and frequency for excitation signals
- Arbitrarily positionable acceleration sensor for measuring model response
- Step-by-step generation of transfer functions to determine vibration modes
- Experiments can be conducted in water with an additional tank (not included)
- Supports complementary experiments using additional ballast and weights
Benefits
- Introduces students to experimental vibration analysis and modal testing
- Facilitates practical understanding of dynamic behavior of ship structures
- Enables precise measurement and analysis of natural frequencies and vibration modes
- Flexible experimental setup allows water-based and weighted studies
