Helical Inerter Test Data from 2016

<p>Data from the testing of a novel type of fluid inerter system where the inertance can be varied. This inertance is achieved by having a fluid filled cylinder that induces flow in a helical pipe system. The parameters of the helical pipe system can be adjusted to give different amounts of inertial force depending on the requirements. See Reference below for full details.</p><p><br></p><p>Parameters for the tests are given in the file name: Xmm_Yhz_Z.txt</p><p>Where X is amplitude in mm</p><p>Y is sine wave frequency in Hz</p><p>Z is the test case: </p><p>For test case 2, the radius of the helix was 120mm and for test case 3 the radius of the helix was 80mm.
