Mechanical natural frequency test

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

The iBumpTest app for the Apple iPad is now available from GTI Predictive Technology. Determining the natural frequency of a mechanical system with a Bump Test is a controlled measurement – important to understanding the resonance of a system and the effect of a change of mass, a change in stiffness, or a change in damping.

GTI Predictive Technology is continually developing new apps for the VibePro family. iBumpTest is available as a kit that can be added to any iPad that already uses VibePro. iBumpTest is also available as a standalone kit for new users. Additional hardware is required for standalone kits.

iBumpTest includes the iBumpTest app, an impact hammer with modular heads for different applications and a cable for use with either our GTI-220 wireless sensor or our wired DAQ solution.
