Vibration generated in rotating equipment, for example compressors, pumps, fans, etc, are transmitted through foundation to other machines. Vibration of the plant floor contains a wide frequency spectrum. It is possible that one of these frequencies fall near a natural frequency of a particular machine.…
read moreIt has been a challenge to reduce unwanted vibration in rotating equipment. The impact of this vibration can range from premature failure of the machine to consumer’s perception of poor product quality. Many designers and product engineers from all industries have been working diligently to…
read moreDampers have been widely used to reduce the amplitude of vibration by absorbing or dissipating energy. In general, damping can be divided into three types: viscous damping, column or friction damping, and solid (internal) or structural damping. We will focus on viscous damping in this…
