Abstract
The purpose of this experiment is to capture the nonlinear characteristic responses of a cantilever beam by placing it under continuous sinusoidal vibration along its length. It is found that the cantilever beam only responses over a certain range of frequencies. Also by changing the magnitude of vibration, the frequency range shortens. It is important to understand these characteristic responses from the cantilever beam due to its common appearance in Vibrating Structure Gyroscopes. In order to accurately utilize the said Gyroscopes, a set of predictable responses must be known.
Hao Lin immigrated to the United States from China in 2000 and his current home town is in St. Louis, Missouri. Hao graduated from the University of Missouri in December 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. He is now utilizing the analytical and problem solving skills obtained through education through working full time at Honeywell. Hao has and still likes to create his own designs not just on paper but also building them.
