description The Impulse Excitation Technique (IET) is one of the most useful testing methods for evaluating or calculating some material properties. This can be useful to evaluate and confirm that the material ordered is what was delivered. In the case of unknown materials, where their properties are required by simulation software, this is also a quick way to obtain mechanical properties and thus improve the simulation quality. The main drawback of the method is the requirement for a specialized sensor and acquisition system and a well-trained engineer to prepare the setup and analyze the results. The article evaluates the possibility of using a low-cost solution in the form of a mobile device microphone as a way to obtain data, which after the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), allows to obtain frequency response graphs and use the IET method procedure to calculate the mechanical properties of the samples. The data obtained by the mobile device are compared with the data obtained by professional sensors and data acquisition systems. The results confirm that for typical homogenous materials, the mobile phone is a cheap and reliable alternative for fast, on-the-go material quality inspections and can be introduced even in small companies and on construction sites. Additionally, this kind of approach does not require specific knowledge of sensing technology, signal treatment, or data analysis and can be performed by any assigned employee, who can receive the quality check information immediately on-site. Additionally, the presented procedure allows data collection and transfer to the cloud for future references and additional information extraction. This element is fundamental for introducing sensing technologies under the Industry 4.0 concept.
