Abstract
This chapter describes seventeen fundamental experiments in vibration which can easily be conducted in the laboratory to understand the basic vibration theory which has been described in Chapter 2. The presentation is such that an academician can mix and match these experiments to suit the laboratory courses being taught at undergraduate or postgraduate levels. The material will also be useful for researchers who would like to set up basic experiments in the laboratory. Simple rigs that can easily be fabricated in the workshop for specific experiments are suggested. The description of every experiment starts with the aim, theory behind the experiment, test setup and procedure, as well as how to report the results. Suggestions are given for the choice of transducers (described in Chapter 3) and for alternate experimental setups.
