The design, analysis and application of a practical vibrational platformThe design, analysis and application of a unique vibrational platform employing flexural pivots is described. A Lagrangian equation for the slightly-damped second-order system was derived and verified experimentally. Platform frequencies from 0.7 to 20 Hz with an extremely low damping coefficient were observed. Various educational and instrumentation applications of this simple mechanical system are included.
