The flexural resonant frequency of 3138 Hz is clearly shown.

QuasiModo is designed to run on the Windows Mobile platform and is suitable for most PocketPCs and some mobile (cell) phones. The screen shot to the right was taken on a HP iPAQ rx4240 running under Windows Mobile 5.0.

QuasiModo currently measures only the resonant frequencies of an impulse excited solid, similar to Buzz-o-sonic; but does not measure damping properties. This feature may be added at a future date.

NOTE: QuasiModo is only available to registered users of Buzz-o-sonic

Screenshot (70% scale) of the Elastic Constants spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel workbook). The Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio of an elastic solid can be calculated from it's resonant frequencies as measured by Buzz-o-sonic, and also from it's mass and dimensions. The spreadsheet makes it very easy to calculate the elastic constants of simple shapes (rectangular bars, cylinders, discs, grinding wheels, tubes, and plates ). English, metric, and SI units are supported. Note that Buzz-o-sonic automatically inserts the measured frequency into the selected cell.

Example high temperature system (left). Systems are custom designed around customer requirements. Samples can be tested to up to 1800 °C and in most environments (air, N2, Ar...). A special high temperature module (above) is used to monitor and log the data during a run. A log file is automatically created in case a run is aborted unexpectedly (power cut, burned out element etc.). The above system was designed to test samples up to 1000 °C and under air or flowing nitrogen. The sample can be tested automatically at given time intervals or when the temperature is constant for a given time and tolerance.

Screenshot (70% scale) of the Lab Kit module (left) and Buzz-o-sonic (right). A sample is selected from the Lab Kit module and a control value is loaded automatically into Buzz-o-sonic (shown blue). The student then tries to match the control data. Samples are pre-tested and supplied with the Lab Kit.
