Abstract

The theory governing the excitation of a linear mechanical system by delta function impulse is summarized. In the case of a finite elastic rod excited by an impulse, the Fourier transform of the output function enables the frequency spectrum of the rod to be obtained. A spectrometer for accomplishing this operation is described and a comparative study is made between the impulse and resonance responses of a cylindrical rod
