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 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
