An Experimental Setup for the Introduction of High School and Undergraduate Students to Vibration and Mechatronics Topics

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Mechanisms and Machine Science ((Mechan. Machine Science,volume 73))

Abstract

The paper presents an experimental setup suited to a starting introduction of high school and undergraduate students to basic topics in vibrations, data acquisition and signal processing. The setup is portable, based on low-cost gear motor, sensors and control electronics, with 3D printed custom parts, and it has been used in different education contexts. Its specification, realization, features and usage are discussed in the paper.
