The discussion centers on the interpretation of vibrational modes in relation to accelerometer data from a Bimorph beam (PEH). The "Predicted" graph is believed to be generated using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools, while the "Measured" graph reflects actual data collected from experiments. The setup likely involved exciting the MEMS arm with a high mechanical impedance source and varying the frequency to obtain the results. This approach is analogous to plotting the transfer function of a two-port network. Understanding these graphs is crucial for analyzing the vibrational behavior of the system.

TL;DR
I understand the basic meaning of vibrational mode. Could someone interpret what this graph means?

Ps: It is not a homework hence why I did not leave it under that headline.

What is the test setup? Is this accelerometer data?
 
This data is on Bimorph beam (PEH)...

Oh, like this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct.../8/4/645/pdf&usg=AOvVaw2DBGVt6_5h1-fJ0Yv-EqoI

So the "Predicted" graph was likely plotted using FEA tools, and the "Measured" graph was plotted directly from the acquired data. Presumably they were exciting the MEMS arm with a high mechanical impedance source and sweeping the frequency of that source to get the plot. Similar to how you plot the transfer function of a 2-port network...

Thank you so much
 
Thread 'Local pressures in turbocharger housing?'

Thread 'Local pressures in turbocharger housing?'

This is question for fluid mechanics. Static pressure in the exhaust manifold(turbo car engine) is usually 1.2 to 2.5 times higher than the boost pressure(intake manifold pressure).Boost pressure is around 1bar guage pressure(2bar absolute). Can the local static pressure somewhere inside a turbine housing ever be lower than atmospheric pressure, is this possible? here some links where CFD is used...
