Coil Spring Vibrations

Product Description

Coil Spring Vibrations

In helical springs, the spring force is generated by the elastic deformation of a metal band wound in an Archimedean spiral. If a mass is attached to the spring, we refer to it as a springmass system. The resistance that the spring presents opposite of the elastic deformation is known as spring stiffness. It is a characteristic variable of the spring.

Learning Objectives And Experiments

1. Determine the rigidity of a helical spring
2. Determine the natural frequency of a spring-mass system
3. Investigate the effect of mass and mass distribution

Features
