Ambient Vibration Monitoring (Hardcover): H. Wenzel Ambient Vibration Monitoring (Hardcover)
H. Wenzel
R3,592 Discovery Miles 35 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In-operation vibration monitoring for complex mechanical structures and rotating machines is of key importance in many industrial areas such as aeronautics (wings and other structures subject to strength), automobile (gearbox mounting with a sports car body), rail transportation, power engineering (rotating machines, core and pipes of nuclear power plants), and civil engineering (large buildings subject to hurricanes or earthquakes, bridges, dams, offshore structures). Tools for the detection and the diagnosis of small changes in vibratory characteristics are particularly useful to set up a preventive maintenance policy based on the actual evolution of the state of the monitored machine or structure, as opposed to systematic a priori planning.

Ambient Vibration Monitoring is the backbone of such structural assessment monitoring and control. It provides the possibility to gain useful data under ambient conditions for the assessment of structures and components.

Written by a widely respected authority in this area, "Ambient Vibration Monitoring" describes the current practice of ambient vibration methodologies illustrated by a number of practical examples. Designed to aid the practical engineer with their understanding of the topic, it is the culmination of many years of practical research and includes numerous 'real world' examples. It also provides information on applicable solutions.

This book will enable not only practitioners (in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering), but also researchers and students, to learn more about the theory and practical applications of this subject.

Handbook of Viscoelastic Vibration Damping (Hardcover): D.I.G. Jones Handbook of Viscoelastic Vibration Damping (Hardcover)
D.I.G. Jones
R5,019 Discovery Miles 50 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Viscoelastic damping is becoming widely applied for vibration and noise control in various industries, the most notable examples being aerospace, automotive, computer peripherals and propulsion. A recent review of the literature shows that many engineers are still applying the technology without having a good understanding of the basic underlying principles or the means of describing and measuring the damping parameters.

The comprehensive book introduces simple and effective approaches for describing the damping related properties of viscoelastic materials, with emphasis on the effects of frequency and temperature, and proceeds to illustrate simple techniques for measuring the desired properties and for selecting and applying the materials. In all cases, the need for simplicity in practical applications is emphasized.

Particular topics addressed in some detail include:

  • the complex modulus model of viscoelastic behaviour
  • effects of frequency and temperature on stiffness and damping of viscoelastic materials
  • combination of frequency and temperature into a single variable
  • analysis and evaluation of the quality of available test data by means of the Wicket Plot
  • simple means of meauring stiffness and damping of viscoelastic materials
  • simple approaches for design of treatments for practical structural applications
Practical examples will illustrate the approaches taken. The technical level is as simple as can be achieved without losing clarity, in order that newcomers to the technology can quickly learn the essentials and apply viscoelastic damping in their workplace. This is particularly a handbook for practising eingeers confronted daily by vibration problems, who are nevertheless beginners in the specific area of viscoelastic damping.
