Gradient induced vibration of a steel disk due to trapezoidal and sinusoidal gradient waveforms was measured at varying frequencies at 3 T. Results show displacement increased monotonically with decreasing frequency but peak acceleration, scaled to the peak gradient field, remained consistent for all experimental conditions. Sinusoidal dB/dt exposure as a function of frequency represents a practical conservative exposure condition for testing dB/dt-induced vibration in conductive devices during MRI.
