Page 5: Introduction
® Systems. SA-BC Support allows rectangular and cylindrical specimens to rest on the nodal lines of the fundamental flexural vibration mode (for a specimen of length L, these nodal lines are 0.224L distant from the ends). Based on the size and weight of the specimen to be tested, this support offers a practical system to adjust the distance between the support-cables, as well as the traction on them. -

Note: Minimum dimensions may vary as a function of aspect ratio and material Young’s modulus; the frequency should be lower than CA-DP Acoustic Sensor maximum frequency (96 kHz). It is possible to estimate the frequency using Sonelastic Software simulation tool. -
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... -
Page 12: Support Installation
- A flat and leveled workbench with a free space of at least 60 x 120 cm (depth and width). This space is enough to fit SA-BC Support, specimens, computer and optional items. - A 127 or 220 VAC three-pin ground wired electrical mains plug. This plug is needed to power the computer up. - Page 13 Sonelastic ® Systems SA-BC Adjustable support for bars and cylinders Configuration: Manual. Specimen: Medium size rectangular section bar. Acoustic sensor: Using a Sturdy Tripod (an optional item to be used in manual configurations) for optimum signal acquisition of the longitudinal mode.
- Page 14 Attention! Before using SA-BC Support, verify if its four rubber feet are on the workbench (not wobbly). If any of its feet is not flat on the workbench, readjust it until all feet are securely placed and flat on the surface.
