Automated Bridge Vibration Experiment

The ABVE is an educational tool designed to perform 3 experiments on the bridges: a study of the forces in bridge members when loads are applied, finding the resonant frequencies of the structures using vibrations from speakers positioned at either end of the bridge, and also using pulses of wind from a fan to further explore resonant frequency. The ABVE comes with two bridge kits students can build, one kit to build 3 unique truss bridge styles, and one kit for building a suspension bridge.
