Page 10: Specimens
Sonelastic ® Systems SA-BC Adjustable support for bars and cylinders 7. Specimens 7.1 Recommended aspect ratios and typical dimensions Minimum aspect ratios must be observed to avoid coupling between specimen’s vibration modes. In addition, aspect ratio determines the pattern of frequency spectrum of the acoustic response. -
Page 11: Placing The Specimen
Sonelastic ® Systems SA-BC Adjustable support for bars and cylinders 7.2 Placing the specimen The specimen should be symmetrically placed over the support-cables, with those at a distance of 0.224 L from the specimen ends (L is the specimen length). For instance, if a specimen’s length (L) is 100 mm, the support-cables should be positioned at a distance of 22.4 mm from the ends. -

Page 15: Replacing The Support-Cables
Sonelastic ® Systems SA-BC Adjustable support for bars and cylinders 8.4 Replacing the support-cables The thinner the support-cable, the smaller is its interference in the measurement. However, observe the maximum weight than can be held by each of the two support-cables available. SA-BC Support is supplied with a Ø1.20mm support-cable set (this is the recommended cables to be used with specimens weighting between 10 and 30kg). -
