Statistical Analysis of the Vibrating Beam THE GROUP Amanda Criner Kimberly Sacha LeVar Henderson
Project Goal • Which mathematical models can be used to describe the vibrating beam?
Outline • Collect Data • Choose Model • Spring • Results • Evaluate the Model
The Spring Model • Equation • y’’ + Cy’ + Ky = 0 • y(0)=y0, y0’=0 • Assumptions • The beam is behaving like a spring. • The only forces are the force of the spring, friction and the voltage. • The voltage is one kick.

Conclusions GOOD ENOUGH FOR US? Yes! Good introduction to modeling physical phenomena Simple enough to experiment with: Optimization algorithms Statistical analysis =Good learning tool WE AREN’T BUILDING A BRIDGE TODAY True tad!!!!
