The discussion centers around the physics of vibrations in record players, specifically within the context of a Dynamics and Vibrations class project. Participants explore the relevant equations and concepts related to vibrational modes, audio signal distortion, and the mechanics of phono cartridges.
The conversation is ongoing, with participants sharing insights and prompting further exploration of the topic. Some guidance has been offered regarding potential sources of information and relevant concepts, but no consensus has been reached on specific equations or methods.
Participants are navigating a broad topic with various aspects of vibration physics, and there is an acknowledgment of the complexity involved in understanding the interplay between mechanical and electrical systems in record players.
I've found that the needle moves along the ridges which causes it to move up and down and move a magnet attached to the cantilever to vibrate between 2 coils to convert the mechincal energy to electrical energyberkeman said:Welcome to PF.
What have you found in your research so far? What would be some of the sources of vibrations, and what-all could contribute to resonances? What would different vibrational modes do in terms of distorting the audio pickup/playback signal?

berkeman said:And what are the most common vibration noise sources in such a mechanical system?
Since Dynamics and Vibration, you should look up mass-spring-damper system, and mechanical-electrical transducers.OutdoorInnovator said:I have a project for my Dynamics and Vibrations class
