Predictions of cutting vibrations are necessary for improving the operational efficiency, product quality, and safety in the machining process, since the vibration is the main factor for resulting in machine faults. “Cutting vibration” may be caused by setting incorrect parameters before machining is commenced and may affect the precision of the machined work piece. This raises the need to have...

Misalignment and unbalance is the most cause of machine vibration. An unbalanced rotor always cause more vibration and generates excessive force in the bearing area and reduces the life of the machine. Understanding and practicing the fundamentals of rotating shaft parameters is the first step in reducing unnecessary vibration, reducing maintenance costs and increasing machine uptime. In this p...

hand-arm vibration can cause vascular, neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, collectively named as hand-arm vibration syndrome. the chainsaw is a portable machine that exposes own operators to high levels of hand-arm vibrations. this research focuses on vibration transmissibility from chainsaw handle to wrist and arm of operator. the vibration acceleration signals necessary for evaluation...

The vibration of centrifugal pumps, running at both best efficiency point (BEP) and at low flow, is of interest to both pump designers and users. This vibration is responsible for the poor seal and bearing life and reduced mean time between failure (MTBF). The cause of vane pass vibration and multiples of this are explained in this paper. The causes of low flow vibrations are also explored. The...

We present a novel approach to signal separation using temporal correlations, which may be useful in decomposition of multichannel vibration data into fault-related harmonic activity. Performance of the algorithm with respect to parameter settings is investigated with artiicial data, whereas vibration data from a submsersible pump is used to compare the second-order ICA algorithm to other metho...

In this paper, a general linear time-varying multiple-axis (LTVMA) vibration model of shield tunnel boring machine (TBM) cutterhead driving system is established. The corresponding multiple inputs and multiple outputs (MIMO) state-space model is also presented. The linear vibration model is analysed, and the vibration-torque transfer function matrix and the vibration-torque static gain matrix a...

This paper proposes a method to vibration analysis in order to on-line monitoring of milling process quality. Adapting envelope analysis to characterize the milling tool materials is an important contribution to the qualitative and quantitative characterization of milling capacity and a step by modeling the three-dimensional cutting process. An experimental protocol was designed and developed f...
