Tuning fork - modal analysis :-)

Tuning fork - modal analysis :-)

(OP)
Hi!
I want to perform modal analysis of a tuning fork smile Does anyone of you have some technical drawings (with all dimensions) of that object?

Regards

RE: Tuning fork - modal analysis :-)

Hi!

I don't have any drawings, but I think it should be quite easy to estimate with a simple simulation. By adjusting the length of the fork you should be able to match the frequency
quite nicely, if you have fixed the material properties. Here some links about the subject and information which note matches what frequency.
