    engine noise

    If you're stuck with one engine, I think you need to address two issues -vibration transmission and noise absorption. Vibration isolation could reduce the transmission of vibration to the surroundings and an effective barrier could reduce the airborne noise. If this is a stationary application...

    Damping vs. Isolation

    Damping is beneficial in a vibration isolator because it reduces the amplification at resonance. However, there is a trade-off, because damping also decreases the vibration isolation at higher frequencies. If you send me your e-mail address, I can send you a paper that addresses this in...

    Piping seismic analysis, structures influence

    Carletes, Current building codes take into consideration the height within the building in which equipment and piping are supported. If you have a FAX number, I can FAX you a couple pages which have the equations. Regards, Frank Andrews SVS-Engineering FAndrews@SVS-Engineering.com Frank...

    Random Vibration PSD vs Sinusoidal

    I think there are a couple reasons why you would not want to use a sine test as an alternate to random vibration: 1) Random vibration has amplitudes which vary with time. At each frequency, the amplitude varies based on a statistical distribution. If you were to determine a sine input at a...
