Choosing bender elements

Comparing available bender elements to chose the best suited ones:

• The worst ones are the ones which are mounted in porous stones (Top cap and pedestal)
• The ones with the highest amplitude and highest power, are the new ones which should be potted.
  Their pattern of vibration is strange! I think it is the effect of non sufficient support; by potting, both the amplitude and vibration pattern would change.
• We already have 4 bender elements simillar to the one which is named “metal based”; the base of three is made out of resin.
  
  
  
• This formula is ussed for calculation of power: \[\sum(A^2) / n \]

Functions:

• Truncate the main signal and keep the post vibration part:

• Power calculation:

• Vertical adjustment:
