In many domains, such as ground, naval or air transportation, structural vibrations are closely related to mechanical reliability and noise sources. Vibrations can be generated by different excitation ...

A two-dimensional tube bundles fluid–structure coupling model was developed using the CFD approach, with a rigid body motion equation and the Newmark integral method. The numerical simulations were ...

The last few years have shown progress in finite-element analysis intended for use by design engineers. Many programs that work with CAD provide several different types of analysis, and the range of ...

Part 1 of this series addressed the advantages and disadvantages of various vibration sensors; Part 2 examined signal conditioning and system hardware selection and configuration. I’ll wrap up by ...

Machinery accounts for a substantial share of capital spend in most manufacturing environments. Rotating equipment makes up a huge part of this – pumps, compressors, fans, turbines and gearboxes all ...

Because the causes of machine vibration are so numerous, the underlying problem is often difficult to isolate. Most troubleshooting processes rely on advanced diagnostic techniques and result in the ...
