Vibration can be damaging to sensitive working parts in a motor or other component. The more sensitive the part, the more likely it is to suffer damage if there is excessive vibration. There are a number of ways that you can solve the problem of vibration isolation, but not all of them are going to […]

Vibration control is crucial to your machine’s internal working, even when that machine is your own body. What is Vibration Control? In any mechanical application, vibration, or extra motions and movements can be generated which can lead to increased damage and other issues. The harder or faster the parts move or the more frequently it […]

Why A Vibration Damper is Vital In any mechanism, there is the potential for extraneous energy to be created beyond what is needed. In some systems, this energy might be stored and used later but in most systems, that excess energy becomes a problem. Typically, the energy that is created becomes vibration, which can cause […]

Fundamental frequency can be defined most simply as the lowest frequency at which a system is able to vibrate freely. In physics, there is vibration that is fixed- as in the movement is only allowed in certain areas of a piece of machinery – and then there is free vibration, which can come from any […]

When a designer starts looking for a way to build a machine of any kind, there are several things to consider. All mechanical engineering design solutions look to solve a problem with previous designs, to improve on their performance and to make them better in every way. All machines or buildings or anything else that […]

In the world of physics, there are three basic types of resonance that are studied: phase resonance, amplitude resonance and natural resonance. Regardless of type, all resonance shares some of the same qualities, including the ability to both store and to transfer energy between two different forms of storage mode. All energy when transferred from […]

During the building procedure, whether it is a small item or a huge building, there are several things that have to be considered. Learn more about fatigue failure.

During the building procedure, whether it is a small item or a huge building, there are several things that have to be considered. The materials that are used have to be strong enough to perform under the specified stresses but flexible and cost effective. They also have to be reliable under the expected conditions that […]

Impact force is described as a force that delivers a shock or a high impact, typically for a short period of time. Impact force applies when something falls or is dropped from above or when two or more bodies collide with one another. The effect of the impact force might depend on a number of […]

Whenever anything is built, there are several tests that have to be performed. These tests are not only meant to prove safety of the material, machine or component, but its effective and expected life in general as well. All materials, regardless of their components will eventually wear out, leading them to break or become destroyed. This damage is the direct result of fatigue.
