The ABVE is 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.…

Are you looking for a cost-effective and engaging way to teach students about structural engineering and bridge dynamics? Look no further than the innovative Automated Bridge Vibration Experiment (ABVE) from Team DVCK! Hands-on learning experiences, especially in STEM-related disciplines, have proven to be a far more effective teaching method than traditional lectures. And according to…
