Basic Terminology of Structural Vibration The term vibration describes repetitive motion that can be measured and observed in a structure. Unwanted vibration can cause fatigue or degrade the performance of the structure. Therefore it is desirable to eliminate or reduce the effects of vibration. In other cases, vibration is unavoidable or even desirable. In this case, the goal may be to understa...

Future railway applications, such as train-side collision avoidance, virtual coupling or autonomous train driving demand reliable and accurate train localization. We focus on exclusive onboard train localization without additional way-side infrastructure. Common approaches for onboard train localization are based on measurements of a global satellite navigation system (GNSS). Well-known methods...

Probabilistic latent component analysis (PLCA) is applied to the problem of gearbox vibration source separation. A model for the probability distribution of gearbox vibration employs a latent variable intended to correspond to a particular vibration source, with the measured vibration at a particular sensor for each source the product of a marginal distribution of vibration by frequency, a marg...

The translational axis is one of the most important subsystems in modern machine tools, as its degradation may result in the loss of the product qualification and lower the control precision. Condition-based maintenance (CBM) has been considered as one of the advanced maintenance schemes to achieve effective, reliable and cost-effective operation of machine systems, however, current vibration-b...

by new advancements in vehicle manufacturing vehicle quality evaluation and assurance has become a more critical issue. in present work, the vibration transfer path analysis and vibration path ranking of a car interior has been performed. the method is similar to classical multilevel tpa methods but has distinct differences. the method is named vivs which stands for vehicle interior vibration s...

background : the application of ventilation systems in industries and workplaces is with the aim of improving environmental conditions for employees. the lack of appropriate ventilation system components design and control methods result in the production of sound and vibration in most components. the purpose of this study was to determine the role of the pad isolator in controlling vibration a...

The behavioural diagnostics of bearings play an essential role in the management of several rotation machine systems. However, current diagnostic methods do not deliver satisfactory results with respect to failures in variable speed rotational phenomena. In this paper, we consider the Shannon entropy as an important fault signature pattern. To compute the entropy, we propose combining stationar...

The surfaces of machined workpieces contain the signature manufacturing process. Indeed, surface inaccuracies can be related to process parameters and machine vibrations. This paper aims at using monitoring identify origin topography defects. Thus, vibration other parameter measurements are correlated with profile establish relationship between vibrations for various conditions. As each anomaly...

Bearings are a common component and crucial to most rotating machinery. Their failures the causes for more than half of total machine failures, each with potential cause extreme damage, injury, downtime. Therefore, fault detection through condition monitoring has significant importance. Since initial cost standard techniques such as vibration signature analysis is high long payback period, via ...

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the temporary threshold shifts in fingertip vibratory sensation produced by hand-transmitted vibrations that have the same equivalent tool vibration levels according to the JIS B 4900 determination method. The JIS B 4900 standard is based on vibration exposure dose values. Therefore, even though the vibration exposure pattern is varied, the severity of vi...
