Oil refineries' Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCU) when in full operation may exhibit strong fluid dynamics caused by turbulent flow in the piping system that may induce vibrations in other mechanical and structural components of the Unity. This paper reports on the experimental-theoretical-computational program performed to get the vibration properties and the dynamic response amplitudes to find out alternative solutions to attenuate the excessive vibrations that were causing fatigue fractures in components of the bottle like reactor-regenerator of an FCC unit in operation in an existing oil refinery in Brazil. Solutions to the vibration problem were sought with the aid of a 3D finite element model calibrated with the results obtained from experimental measurements. A short description of the found solutions is given and their effectiveness are shown by means of numerical results. The solutions were guided by the concepts of structural stiffening and dynamic control performed by a nonlinear pendulum controller whose mechanical design was based on parameters determined by means of a parametric study carried out with 2D and 3D mathematical models of the coupled pendulum-structure system. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions is evaluated in terms of the fatigue life of critical welded connections.

Recently, hybrid and electric vehicles have been actively developed to replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. However, their vibrations and noise with complex spectra cause discomfort to drivers. To reduce the vibrations transmitted through primary excitation sources such as powertrains, structural changes have been introduced. However, the interference among different parts is a limitation. Thus, active mounting systems based on smart materials have been actively investigated to overcome these limitations. This study focuses on diminishing the source movement when a structure with two active mounting systems is excited to a single sinusoidal and a multi-frequency signal, which were investigated for source movement reduction. The overall structure was modeled based on the lumped parameter method. Active vibration control was implemented based on the modeled structure, and a multi-normalization least mean square (NLMS) algorithm was used to obtain the control input for the active mounting system. Furthermore, the performance of the NLMS algorithm was compared with that of the quantification method to demonstrate the performance of active vibration control. The results demonstrate that the vibration attenuation performance of the source component was improved.

국내에서 발파풍과 지반진동을 취급하는 유일한 법규가 바로 환경부의 소음진동관리법이다. 하지만 이 법규는 생활소음과 생활진동을 주로 취급하고 있으므로 지반진동에 대한 안전기준을 dB(V) 단위의 진동레벨에 의해 규정하고 있다. 그러나 발파로 발생되는 지반진동은 충격진동에서 볼 수 있는 것과 같은 독특한 특성을 지니고 있으며, 그 지속시간도 기계류나 장비류, 시설물 등에서 발생하는 진동과 비교하여 매우 짧은 특성이 있다. 그러므로 발파작업에 대한 진동법규에서는 통상 구조물 손상에 대한 지반진동의 영향을 고려하여 안전기준을 최대입자속도(peak particle velocity; PPV)로 설정한다. 그럼에도 불구하고 진동파동의 주파수 스펙트럼에 대한 충분한 고려도 없이 PPV로부터 진동레벨(vibration level; VL)을 예측하거나 $m/kg^{1/2}$이나 $m/kg^{1/3}$ 단위의 환산거리에 따라 VL을 추정하려는 시도들이 있다. 이 시도들은 주로 발파공사 과정에서 소음진동관리법을 충족시키려는 목적으로 이루어지는 것으로 보인다. 그러나 원칙적으로 전체 주파수 스펙트럼 상에서는 속도나 가속도 피크치 사이에는 아무런 상관관계도 존재할 수 없다. 따라서 이러한 상관관계나 추정식의 유도작업은 반드시 동일하거나 매우 유사한 주파수 스펙트럼을 지니는 파동들에 한해서 수행되어야 한다.

There are increasing customer's needs for safe operation and comfort of trains for the passengers as trains are getting fast and developed with advanced components. To meet the needs we developed the system which is able to prevent possible risk elements by transverse vibrations during the train operation. System records the amplitude data of trains vibration and location data from GPS antenna in real time. The system is composed of 5 different functioning modules as following GCPU, GGWD, GIFD, GAID and GPSD. GAID module is detecting amplitude value of vibration which is sensed by bogie hunting sensor's. GFID gets location information where vibration data is detected with GPS Antenna. Once those data is prepared, GCPU testify it's amplitude and decides whether it send those data. When it sends those recorded data, those data are sent to control unit by MVB communication. we expect that this information will help operation and maintenance engineers improve the safety train services. This paper explains train transverse Vibrations data recording system and its major functions which can measure the amplitude of trains's data during the operation and introduces the configuration for the system setup.

The purpose of this work was to assess and quantify the beneficial effects of long-term gas exchange, at varying frequencies, for the development of a vibrating intravascular lung assistance device (VIVLAD), for patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The experimental design and procedure have been applied to the construction of a new device for assessing the effectiveness of membrane vibrations. An analytical solution has been developed for the hydrodynamics of flow through a bundle of sinusoidally vibrated hollow fibers, with the intention of gaining insight into how wall vibrations might enhance the performance of the VIVLAD. As a result, the maximum oxygen transfer rate was reached at the maximum amplitude and through the transfer of vibrations to the hollow fiber membranes. The device was excited by a frequency band of 7Hz at various water flow rates, as this frequency was the 2nd mode resonance frequency of the flexible beam. 675 hollow fiber membranes were also bundled, within the blood flow, into the device.

Recently, the pile driving or blasting works are increasingly done in many areas to perform large scale construction projects. The vibrations from these blasting works may affect the properties of concrete, especially young concrete. The purpose of present study is to explore the effects of vibration at early ages on the properties of concrete. To this end, comprehensive experimental study is conducted in the present study. The major test variables are peak particle velocity or vibration velocity and the age at vibration. The compressive strengths and bond strengths are measured for all the specimens at 28days after casting. The duration of vibration is fixed to 30 minutes for all cases. The results indicate that the strength increases for vibration velocity less than about 0.25cm/sec and decreases for vibration velocity larger than 0.5cm/sec. The effect of age at vibration is not pronounced and shows almost similar behavior for the age at vibration of 0 to 12 hours range. The present study provides some important guidelines to control the construction or vehicle vibrations for the concrete at very early ages.

One of the most critical aspects of the semiconductor industry is the quality of the wafer surface. And the vibrations of wafer grinder are supposed to be the most dominant factors to damage the wafer surface quality. In this study, structure of a wafer grinder has been analyzed through experiments and computer simulations to figure out the main reasons of the vibrations. And the design alterations based on the analysis were applied to identify the effects of those alterations on the vibration suppression. The result shows that the design alterations can effectively suppress about 90% of the vibrations.

Due to high payload capacity and high length-to -cross-section ratio requirements, long-reach manipulator systems are expected to exhibit significant structural flexibility. To avoid structural vibrations during operations, various types of input shaping filtering methods have been investigated. A robust notch filtering method and an impulse shaping filtering method were investigated and implemented. In addition, two very different approaches have been developed and compared. One new approach, referred to as a

Recently, the medical community has been enthusiastically welcoming robots that are able to provide high-quality medical services across the board, including assisting the surgeons during surgeries. In response, many higher education institutions and research facilities started to conduct various experiments and studies about these robots. During such research, it was discovered that the arm of one particular robot type that is being developed to assist surgeries are prone to vibrate even from the weakest impact, in addition to other residual vibration problems. We attempted to reduce such dynamic response by using a MF-TMD that is produced by adding magnetic fluid to ECD. We verified the MF-TMD's performance by testing it within various frequency bands and attenuations. We then designed a cantilever that was structurally similar to the robot's arm. We attached the MF-TMD to this cantilever and conducted a pilot experiment, which validated our hypothesis that MF-TMD will reduce the robot arm's vibrations through its optimal damping ratio. Henceforth, we attached the MF-TMD to the robot arm in question and conducted a performance experiment in which we tuned the MF-TMD's frequency and damping factor to its optimal level and measured the vibrations of the arm. The experiment demonstrated that the vibrations that occurred whenever the arms rotated were significantly reduced.
