Determination of resonance frequency and estimation of damping ratio for forced Vibrations modules using remote lab

This paper focuses on the implementation of the first online laboratory on the mechanical field being used by the Higher Institute of Industrials Systems of Gabes (ISSIG)-Gabes University, Tunisia. The control system for this remote laboratory was implemented using Visual basic Software. The experiment studies the forced vibrations system. The core components of the system are the rigid steel beam, spring, damping tank and the motor exciter. Students access our platform via the Internet to determine the natural frequency of damping forced vibration, the phase sift and the damping ratio for the system.
