Overview:
A Vibration and Control Laboratory is an advanced engineering laboratory used to study the system like "rigid" hinged beam, with a single degree of freedom, oscillating about its hinge. A spring and a damper are attached to the beam at two different locations. The free vibrations are generated by displacing the beam from its equilibrium position and the forced vibrations are generated by an electrical motor-driven imbalance exciter. Further study in:
- Mechanical vibrations
- Dynamic systems
- Stability and damping
- Sensors and actuators
- Feedback control systems
- Structural health monitoring
- Signal processing
- Mechatronics and automation
It is widely used in:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Aerospace Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Automotive Engineering
- Robotics
- Railways
- Industrial automation
- Défense and space research

Platform supported by two strips allows lateral vibration without tilting (tilting would require one of the strips to either lengthen, shorten, or buckle). Two strips make the single degree of freedom model appropriate. With one strip, there would be lateral displacement as well as tilting, requiring a two degree of freedom model
