Instrumentation for mechanical vibrations analysis in the time domain and frequency domain using the Arduino platform

In this paper, we use the Arduino platform together with sensors as accelerometer, gyroscope and ultrasound, to measure vibrations in mechanical systems. The main objective is to assemble a signals acquisition system easy to handle, of low cost and good accuracy for teaching purposes. It is also used the Python language and its numerical libraries for signal processing. This paper proposes the study of vibrations of a beam, which is measured by position, velocity and acceleration. An experimental setup was implemented. The results obtained are compared with analytical models and computer simulations using finite elements. The results are in agreement with the literature.
