In the study, vibrations of small elastic cylinders mounted in the shear flow of an air jet are investigated experimentally. In such cases, the amplitude of the cylinder oscillation changed along with the variation of the jet velocity gradient is due to the influence of fluid elastic instability. The experiment is based on the method of the magnetic field induction to measure the motion of the small cylinder, and it involves measurements of the varying velocity in a jet through the hot- wire anemometer. We focus on the fluid-elastic instability of a circular cylinder in shear flow. The vibration behaviors of the cylinder above the critical condition are be examined with different velocity gradients, mass ratios and damping factors. The vibration amplitude of the cylinder is also larger as velocity gradient is larger. With lower mass ratios and damping factor, moreover, the orbit of cylinder is larger. When the velocity gradient is increasing, the frequency of cylinder vibration becomes higher.
