Abstract:

The article presents a computer-aided method for determining the natural vibration frequency and the logarithmic decrement of damping of the tested object (mechatronic boring tool prototype). The MATLAB environment from MathWorks^® and LabView™ from National Instruments was used for this purpose. The conducted research aimed to determine the resonant frequencies of the free vibrations of the tool body and the value of the logarithmic decrement of damping in order to determine their value and the nature of changes depending on the point of attachment of the mechatronic cutting tool in the machine tool holder. The method of data analysis and processing and the results of computer calculations were presented, and then conclusions were formulated.
