Educational Test Setup

I recently completed an educational vibration table for the sole purpose of detailing resonance and natural frequencies. I cut the HDPE with my Axiom, used Fusion 360 for the Modal Analysis and bought off the shelf linear bearings for the table. 

The Table is shown below (notice it's driven by a variable speed reciprocating saw with a travel reduction linkage):





The Video of Resonance is on youtube at the following link:

Interesting experiment and I enjoyed the video. Thank you.

Thanks! It's a topic that always gives me difficulty explaining to junior engineers so I wanted to make sure I had visual aides in the future.

The Axioms can be so useful for so many different purposes.

Awesome! That is a cool demonstration.
