QUESTIONS:
1. WHAT IS THE BASIC FUNDAMENTALS OF VIBRATION?
- Vibration is a mechanical movement around an equilibrium point. In other
words, it is a mechanical phenomenon where a dynamic external force is
applied onto structures or floors, causing the oscillation motion that repeats
itself after an interval of time. Among the sources of vibration, the low
frequency vibration is not perceptible during daily activities, and adversely
affect vibration-sensitive metrology tools in the fields of semiconductor,
display, electron microscopy, life sciences and photonics
*Damped Vibration
Vibrations are considered to be damped when the energy of a
vibrating system is progressively absorbed by friction and other resistances.
The vibrations progressively decrease in frequency or intensity or stop
altogether, and the system returns to balance.
*Oil and gas industry: Vibration sensors play a vital role in the oil and gas
industry by ensuring that the production machinery is operational and the
downtime is minimized, thereby leading to a reduction in operating costs and
an increase in productivity and monetary gains. These sensors help reduce
unplanned outages and optimize machine performance. This, in turn, helps in
reducing maintenance and repair costs. Vibration sensors designed for
monitoring applications are used to monitor motors, critical pumps, fans,
gearboxes, and compressors in the oil and gas industry.
CONCLUSIONS:
In conclusion, vibration is a phenomenon that occurs when an object oscillates or
moves back and forth rapidly. Vibration in industrial equipment can be a symptom or
cause of a problem, or it can be associated with normal operation. The most
common causes of machine vibration are imbalance, misalignment, wear, and
looseness. Vibration can accelerate machine wear, consume excess power, and
cause equipment to be taken out of service, resulting in unplanned downtime.
Vibration can also be harmful to human health under certain conditions.
The study of vibration is important in various fields, including physics, engineering,
and medicine. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of vibration and
how to control it to lead to improvements in human health, machine performance,
and other areas.
