Vibration occurs in any structure that moves or has moving parts. The effects of vibration range from minor annoyance, such as noise in an automobile, to significant damage to the structure or its ...

One major noise source of diesel engines are timing gear impacts. The structure vibration excitation mechanisms of the timing gears of different 3-cylinder diesel engines are investigated. To this end ...

Using PROPAC also time varying surface motions can be measured, since the measurement signal from the complete surface is captured at once by the CCD camera at a specific instance of time. Image blur ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Visitors to the Structures laboratory in BLADE will find a new ‘occupant’ in residence: they will not be able to miss the carcase of a Lynx Helicopter supported at Mezzanine level on a custom built ...
