The accelerometer i had access to didnt give me both direction, only the maximum vibration along that axis. I am getting access to some better equipment next week which may give me better info. I was treating the peak as the maximum either way and its relative to rest
Cheers for the reply. I've probably been a bit vague in the question so ill give a bit more info.
Its a mass on a fabricated bracket attached a moving piece of machinery. I am treating it as a simple steel beam to avoid over complicating it. As the machine moves along the ground...
Ive got a query which I am thinking should be simple but I can't for the life of me think how to solve it.
I have a mass of 500 kg resting on a beam. It is subjected to vibration of 2m/s2 directly down, how would I calculate the extra force subjected on the beam due to this acceleration?
Is it...
