How to get the transfer function for force transmissibility of a wall?

AI Thread Summary
To obtain the transfer function for force transmissibility of a wall, it is possible to use input force and output acceleration data without knowing the wall's damping, stiffness, and mass. Conducting a modal test can provide insights into the system's behavior. The input force from a hammer and the accelerometer's output will yield the necessary data. This data will reveal multiple natural frequencies, each associated with its own damping characteristics. Understanding these elements is crucial for accurately determining the transfer function.

How to get the transfer function if I have the input and output acceleration from measurements?
Hi, I am trying to get the transfer function from a wall between rooms. From one side I have the force of a hammer as an input ,and in the other side of the wall (next room) I have an accelerometer. Is it possible to get the TF without know the damping, stiffness and mass of the wall partition?

Thanks for reading!

Yes. Try search term modal test to learn more.

You need only the input force vs time and output acceleration vs time data. The data will give you the damping. There will be multiple natural frequencies, each with its own damping.

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
