Resonance Frequency Testing

What a Tap Can Tell You About Material Quality and Strength

Resonance frequency testing uses motion to reveal what’s really inside a material—how stiff it is, how consistent, and whether anything’s hiding beneath the surface. With just a tap, engineers can read how the structure resists internal motion. This makes it a fast, non-destructive way to evaluate quality, detect flaws, and confirm material performance—across metals, composites, and advanced manufacturing. It replaces assumptions with real physical behavior, helping teams catch problems early and make better decisions with confidence.

The material characteristics E-Modulus, G-Modulus and Poisson constant can bemeasured with a single hit on a rectangular sample. Just put the sample on a piece of foamand hit it between the torsion and bending mode zero lines. Both bending mode…
