9. Ping test (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_test_(engineering)

   A ping test is a physical test to determine the natural frequency of an object or assembly. [1] The test consists of instrumenting the object or assembly with measuring devices and then tapping it with another metallic object (usually a hammer.) The undamped system will then vibrate at its natural frequency. The ping test is used on assemblies and objects where vibration can be an issue.
