@ AlephZero : Yeah that's a pretty tiny shaker that I've got with me and I've to perform the experiment with this only due to budget limitations. So, keeping in view the specifications of this shaker, which material you'd suggest to be tested, which would require a lot less stress than usual...
The electro-mechanical shaker (vibrator) I've with me has peak sine force of 8.9 N, total stroke of 2.54mm and frequency range of 3-50 Hz. So, the strength of material being tested has to be low enough to fatigue break in sufficient amount of time. Considering the capabilities of available...
I'm doing a research project which aims to develop a mathematical correlation for fatigue life prediction at resonance frequency. An experimental setup is also to be created which would be used to carry out the experiment, cyclic loading cycles until failure. For this a Cussons linear vibrator...
