This high-speed video captures an automotive plastic vibration test, recorded using the i-SPEED 3 camera at 500 frames per second with a resolution of 1280x1024. The test focuses on the movement of a plastic component during vibration, often caused by the part flexing and hitting a resonance point. By using the i-SPEED 3 camera, the manufacturer successfully identified structural strength and resonance points without the need for accelerometers, which can detach or alter the resonance frequency. High-speed video motion analysis allows for optical tracking and acceleration measurement using simple markers placed on the test sample, providing accurate, non-intrusive insights post-event.
Explore how high-speed imaging simplifies and enhances the analysis of automotive components under stress, offering a more efficient alternative to traditional methods.
