Abstract
IN the particular frequency-range of 10,000–50,000 cycles per second and peak-to-peak amplitudes of the order of 0.002 in. there are several methods, for example, optical, electrical, magnetic, etc., for measuring mechanical vibration. However, in this high-acceleration region of approximately 104 g, certain effects which take place can lead to useful information concerning resonant vibrating members which could not be obtained by other means.
