Data Analysis

We analyzed our data in MATLAB. One of the main findings of this is that each bat is unique. Our MATLAB script generated several plots: Amplitude vs. Oscillation, Amplitude vs. Distance Away From Bottom of Bat, Frequency of Oscillation vs. Distance Away From Bottom of Bat, and Amplitude vs. Frequency of Oscillation. As you can see below, each of the four bats we tested is different. The "Sweet Spot" is the point at which the vibrations are minimized (smallest amplitude) and the oscillations are quicker (larger frequency of oscillation).

BAT 1 (Cupped)

BAT 2 (Cupped)

BAT 3 (Non-Cupped)

 

BAT 4 (Non-Cupped)
