Introduction
Forced vibration and resonance are often used in engineering and scientific research. For example, in construction, machinery and other projects, it is often necessary to avoid resonance phenomenon to ensure the quality of the project. In some petrochemical enterprises, the liquid density and level height are detected online by using tuning-fork liquid density sensors and level sensors based on resonance phenomena.
This apparatus uses the tuning fork vibration system as the research object, uses the electromagnetic force of the excitation coils as the driving force and uses the coil as the amplitude sensor, to measure the relationship between the vibration amplitude and the frequency of driving force of the underlying vibration system, and to study the phenomenon of vibration and resonance and its laws. This apparatus can perform the following experiments:
1. Study the relationship between amplitude and force frequency of a tuning fork vibration system driven by a periodically external force. Measure and plot their relationship curve, and acquire the resonance frequency and the sharpness of the vibration system (this value is equal to the Q value).
2. Measure the relationship between the vibration and the mass of symmetrical arms of the tuning fork. Acquire the relationship formula between the vibration frequency f (i.e. resonance frequency) and the block mass m attached to the tuning fork arms at a certain position.
3. Determine the mass of a pair of mass blocks attached to the tuning fork arms by measuring the resonance frequency.
4. Measure the resonance frequency and sharpness of the tuning fork when changing the vibration structure and increasing the damping force of the tuning fork and do comparisons.
