15、plest mode ofvibration for a simply supported beam is the vertical motionproduced from a slight vertical displacement of the member atits mid-span. This is termed its fundamental mode of vibration(Fig. 1) and is the mode to which this standard applies.3.2.3 standardizationthe determination of the re
16、sponse ofthe instrumentation to a reference material.3.2.4 transverse vibrationthe oscillation of a simply sup-ported bending member that results from an initial displace-ment of the member at its mid-span or other means of excitingits fundamental mode of vibration.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The s
17、tructural member is deflected at its mid-span andallowed to oscillate in a transverse bending mode. Observa-tions of frequency of oscillation are used to calculate modulusof elasticity.5. Significance and Use5.1 The dynamic modulus of elasticity provided by thesetest methods is a fundamental propert
18、y for the configurationtested. This value can be related to static and other dynamicmoduli of elasticity as measured on the same configuration.5.1.1 The rapidity and ease of application of these testmethods facilitate its use as a substitute for static measure-ments.5.1.2 Dynamic modulus of elastici
19、ty is often used forsurveys, for segregation of lumber for test purposes, and toprovide indication of environmental or processing effect.5.2 The modulus of elasticity, whether measured staticallyor dynamically, is often a useful predictor variable to suggestor explain property relationships.6. Appar
20、atus6.1 The testing equipment shall consist of three essentialelements:6.1.1 A support apparatus,6.1.2 An excitation system, and6.1.3 A measurement system.6.2 Support ApparatusThe support shall provide verticalsupport to the ends of the specimen yet permit rotation.6.2.1 ReactionsThe specimen shall
21、be supported in amanner to prevent damage to the specimen at the point ofcontact between it and the reaction support. The reactions shallbe such that change in length of the specimen longitudinalmovement and rotation of the specimen about the reaction dueto deflection will be unrestricted.6.2.2 Reac
22、tion AlignmentProvision shall be made at thereactions to allow for initial twist in the length of the specimen.If the bearing surfaces of the specimen at its reaction are notparallel to the bearing surface of the reactions, the specimenshall be shimmed or the bearing surfaces rotated about an axispa
23、rallel to the span to provide adequate bearing across thewidth of the specimen.6.2.3 Lateral SupportNo lateral support shall be applied.Specimens unstable in this mode shall not be tested using thismethod.6.2.4 Lengthwise Positioning and Overhang of theSpecimenThe specimen shall be positioned such t
24、hat anequal portion of the length overhangs each support. Excessiveoverhang may alter results obtained. If basic equation (Eq 1) isused, then the span(s) to length (L) ratio shall exceed 0.98. Ifother s/L ratios are used, more exacting analysis and equationsshall be used; see Ref (1).5NOTE 1In testi
25、ng of dimension lumber, an overhang of approximately1 in. on each end is often used. The amount of overhang may be influencedby the convenience of handling and positioning but should be keptuniform from specimen to specimen.6.3 Excitation SystemThe member shall be excited so asto produce a vertical
26、oscillation in a reproducible manner in thefundamental mode. The method of analysis is based onoscillation in this mode (Fig. 1).6.3.1 Manual MethodA manual deflection of the speci-men will provide sufficient impetus for oscillation for manyproducts. The deflection shall be vertical with an effort t
27、oexclude lateral components; neither excessive impact norprolonged contact with the specimen are recommended.NOTE 2For example, a manual tap on a 16-foot 2-by-12, supportedflat-wise having a MOE of 2.0 3 106psi will result in a vertical oscillationof between 3 and 4 Hz.6.3.2 Mechanical MethodsThe gu
28、idelines of 6.3.1 shallbe duplicated with mechanical systems. Specimens with veryhigh stiffness require mechanical excitation by a high force orcarefully regulated impact/release.4Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ans
