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.

Yeah sure, send it over.

I uploaded the files to a google drive folder. There is an install file for the (free) software to view and analyse the files. The only limitation of the free version is that you can't save.

Once you open the file it will directly display the impulse response. You can zoom vertical and horizontal axis and scroll with the buttons at the side.



EDIT: Helps if I link the folder! https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...j9?usp=sharing
