This model will be used in Abaqus to determine a numerical value for theresonant frequency, and the quantity subsequently used for comparisons with experimental data. 1. Program the MATLAB FFT analysis script. 2. Strike the two bells, and run the program to record the sound and analyze the audio input. 3. Use Solidworks to model the bells separately, export the part files to Abaqus. 4. Apply Abaqus to calculate the vibration in resonance step. 5. Compare the results from the FFT and simulation strategies in each group. Determine what errors are present in the experiment and how to eliminate them. The process for the

document any conflict of interest.Forming a CompanyThere are several types of companies (LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp, etc.) and your SBDC probably hasresources to help explain the differences. An LLC is quick and easy to form either through yourSBDC, online via sites like LegalZoom.com, or through a startup-friendly lawyer, and can beconverted to a C-Corp later. However, if you plan to take on venture capital early, you may wantto start with a C-Corp. Some incubator and accelerator programs facilitate this process, and otheruseful startup sites have templates to help with the paperwork [12].If you are a solo founder at this point, the paperwork is straightforward. However, if you haveco-founders, you will likely want to set up an operating agreement early
