® Systems. SA-AG Support allows large 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). This support offers a practical system to adjust the distance between the supporting blocks. -

Sonelastic ® Systems SA-AG Adjustable support for large specimens 7. Specimens 7.1 Recommended aspect ratios 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 10: Placing The Specimen
Sonelastic ® Systems SA-AG Adjustable support for large specimens 7.2 Placing the specimen The specimen should be symmetrically supported and placed over the supporting blocks, with these resting at a distance of 0.224 L from the specimen ends (L is the length of the specimen). -
Page 11: Support Installation
8. Support installation 8.1 Requirements - Floor or a flat surface to place the support with a free area large enough to fit the SA-AG Support and the specimens to be tested. - A workbench flat and leveled with a free space of at least 60 x 60 cm (depth and width). - Page 12 - SA-AG Support comes partially disassembled to facilitate its transportation. To be able to use it, follow the assembling instructions in 8.3 – Mounting the support in the default configuration, whist checking for descriptions in 5 –...

Page 17: Warnings And Support Transportation
Sonelastic ® Systems SA-AG Adjustable support for large specimens Note: Considering the typical arrangements presented, the optimum support form for the flexural mode is also proposed for torsional and longitudinal modes. Nodal lines and the optimum support for these vibration modes, however, do not match the ones for the flexural mode. -
