Design and fabrication of a vibration shaker with excitation by imbalance

The topic of this thesis is the design and production of a vibrating table excited by unbalance. The main part of the work is the design of the table structure. The proposal depends on the basic requirements such as the maximum length of the beam, the natural frequency and the change in the natural frequency. The rest of the structure is adapted to these requirements and the dimensions of the beam. The next part of the work consists of the design of the exciter, which is based on the required values of acceleration, frequency of oscillation and weight of the exciter. In the work, the mechanical design and subsequently the control of the exciter was carried out. The main part of the control is the Arduino, which controls the entire system with the help of a program. At the end of the work, the entire experimental system is manufactured and tested. The measurement is performed using an accelerometer and a vibration energy harvester
