Earn Your Structural Engineering Certificate in Advanced Analysis from One of the Top-Ranked Engineering Schools. Through their careful examination of complex structures, both large and small, ...

Aircraft structures are prone to vibrations due to their lightweight construction. In most cases, these vibrations are not critical. They decay due to damping effects from aerodynamic forces and ...

Many readers probably think “black magic” describes the math involved in finding the dynamic response of a structure from random excitation. When can you be sure you have jumped through all the ...

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 ...

Jet engine vibration is arguably the worst enemy of a typical aircraft maintenance team. Parts which are out of balance can eventually result in a cracked turbine, fan, and compressor components, as ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...
