  • Page 16: Newton's Law And Apparent Mass

    Chapter 2 FRF Frequency Response Function Extension Module Newton’s Law and Newton’s Law states that force equals mass x acceleration: Apparent Mass F = ma Rearranging this gives: m = F/a The units for this are N/m/s2. The definition of a Newton: N = kg x m/s2 So we can see that: N/m/s2 = kg...
  • Page 17: Avoid Bad Data

    Avoid Bad Data An FRF measurement involves placing an accelerometer onto the measurement position and pressing Enter the Dynamix 2500 data collector. Be aware of these items before placing the accelerometer: • The magnet should be firmly screwed onto the accelerometer. Any looseness between the magnet and accelerometer will corrupt the measurement.

The 400 (default) Acquisition time information box changes accordingly. When set to Automatic, the FRF module automatically chooses the number of lines after three trial hits.
  • Page 22: Collect Frf Data

    Chapter 2 FRF Frequency Response Function Extension Module Collect FRF Data Once the measurement is set up and the transducers are attached correctly, the next step is to start collecting data for the FRF. Follow these instructions to collect FRF Data. 1.
  • Page 23 FRF Frequency Response Function Extension Module Chapter 2 When hitting the object, try to make sure that you have one clean tap and that the hammer hits directly opposite of where the accelerometer is located on the object. If this is done correctly, the instrument registers the hit and increases the number-of-hits count displayed at the bottom of the screen.
  • Page 24 Green Instrument is collecting data. In Hammer mode, it is looking for a hit. See the Dynamix 2500 Data Collector User Manual, publication 1441-UM001, for more information about the status indicators: • If the Accept/Reject option in FRF - Setup was set to Automatic, each hammer hit is collected and the Dynamix 2500 data collector automatically determines if the data is correct.
