Automotive Load Spectrum and excited frequency

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether a given force spectrum can excite the natural frequency of a structure within the 5-30 Hz range. It is concluded that the force amplitude in this range is too low compared to the peak force of 3298.7 N, making it unlikely to excite the structure's natural frequency. Even at 5 Hz, the force is less than half a Newton, which is negligible compared to the expected structural loads. The conversation emphasizes that resonance occurs when the force approaches the natural frequency, but in this case, it does not. Overall, the force is deemed insufficient to cause significant excitation of the structure's natural frequency.

Hi all!
I have the following spectrum for a signal force:

and this is a zoom in the range of interest:

Can I state that this force is capable of exciting the natural frequency of the structure ( in the range 5-30Hz) or the force amplitude in this range is too low compared to the peak (3298.7N)?

What is being graphed force and time? A force can excite an objects natural freq if it acts close to that freq as for how much depends on your transfer function, as a forced vibration approaches a natural freq there will be resonance and it will blow up
 
Oh i see the graph better now, no this force would not excite a building's natural freq of 5-30 hz

You can see even at 5hz you don't even have half a Newton so that's about 5 lbs pushing that building compared to like 30000 lbs i would assume that to be negligible unless its a particularly shakey building

Edit: Whoops i think you didn't mean a building but same thing
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Technical Analysis on Titan Sub (Titanic Sub)'

TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
