Natural frequency

Natural frequency

(OP)
I am working on an intervertebral replacement disc and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the freqency in hz for titanium and what would happen to a material that was put inside a matrerial that had a natural frequency of 118.7, 96.8, 76.8 respectivly

RE: Natural frequency

Tekm,

For the Ti component what geometery are you talking about? The natural frequecies are going to depend on the geometry of the part. You are asking a very specific question that cannot be answered without an FEA modal analysis. A modal analysis should give you your natural frequency spectrum.

To answer your question generally the natural frequencies of the component will be effected if you insert a different material inside, but its going to depend on the stiffness and mass of the added material.

RE: Natural frequency


It will also be affected by the interconnection of the different materials.
