The mean vibration transmissibility values were measured for cotton work gloves commonly used in vibration-generating workplaces to evaluate the vibration isolating performance of cotton work gloves. The mean vibration transmissibility values of work cotton gloves were compared with those of four types of anti-vibration gloves measured in the same way. All the measurements were performed based ...

This paper explores the utility of a discrete singular convolution algorithm for vibration analysis. A number of di!erent realizations of singular convolution kernels are selected to illustrate the present algorithm. Vibration analysis of strings, rods, beams, diatomic molecules, membranes, waveguides and thin plates are utilized to test numerical accuracy and speed of convergence of the presen...

In this paper we present a novel method for reliability testing of MEMS devices containing movable structures. A small size, simple and cheap vibration fatigue test equipment was designed and realized at BUTE and vibration fatigue tests were carried out on 10 samples of a LIS0L02AS4-type MEMS 3-axis inertial sensor provided by ST Microelectronics. The paper presents the test plan, the test equi...

in this paper, the effects of transverse cracks on rotating shaft were studied. according to earlier works, crack shaft failure decrease the critical speed of the shaft and also exhibit a nonlinear vibration behaviour leading to increases the amplitude of 1x and 2x harmonics (first and second order of rotational speed in torsional vibration). this suggests that the application of order analysis...

The data presented in this article is in relation to the research article "Vibration energy harvesting based monitoring of an operational bridge undergoing forced vibration and train passage" Cahill et al. (2018) [1]. The article provides data on the full-scale bridge testing using piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters on Pershagen Bridge, Sweden. The bridge is actively excited via a swept ...

Research on the nature of the vibration data collected from helicopter transmissions during flight experiments has led to several crucial observations believed to be responsible for the high rates of false alarms and missed detections in aircraft vibration monitoring systems. This work focuses on one such finding, namely, the need to consider additional sources of information about system vibra...

BACKGROUND Patients with stable COPD show improvements in exercise capacity and muscular function after the application of whole body vibration. We aimed to evaluate whether this modality added to conventional physiotherapy in exacerbated hospitalised COPD patients would be safe and would improve exercise capacity and quality of life. METHODS 49 hospitalised exacerbated COPD patients were ran...

High cycle fatigue (HCF) cracks generated by compressor blade vibrations are a common source of failure in gas turbine engines. Current methods for crack detection are costly, time consuming, and prone to errors. In-situ blade vibration detection would help operators avoid critical engine speeds, and help infer the presence of cracks via a change in the mode of a blade. Blade vibrations can be ...

In this paper artificial neural networks and support vector machines are used to reduce the amount of vibration data that is required to estimate the Time Domain Average of a gear vibration signal. Two models for estimating the time domain average of a gear vibration signal are proposed. The models are tested on data from an accelerated gear life test rig. Experimental results indicate that the...
