Damping Test of Concrete & Steel Tube

I can provide the impulse response if you want to have a crack at it?

Yeah sure, send it over. Not sure if we can compare between different test setups, but it can't hurt.

Maybe the best test for hobbyists is to assemble the whole machine, place it where it's going to be used and start whacking it with a mallet? It'll be affected by the floor material, friction, etc but in the same way as when it's running.


This test was done very similarly to yours and I've been using it as a reference.
