Vibration generated by a gear-set is a signal of its technical condition. Many papers have been published on relation between the vibration signal and the condition of a gear-set. It is convenient to investigate this relation by dividing the factors which have influence on vibration generated by a gear-set into four major groups: design, production technology, operational and change of conditio...

The vibration velocities of the seat platform and traditional mechanical reduction vibration device were measured through tests, which provided certain basis for proposing and design of the parallel mechanism with six degree of freedom in subsequent paragraphs. Adopting the parallel mechanism as the main part of the seat and the active joints with spring damping elements as the reduction vibrat...

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of mechanical vibration stimulation on the muscle force and muscle reaction time of lower leg according to perception threshold and vibration frequency. A vibration stimulation with perception threshold intensity was applied on the Achilles tendon and tibialis anterior tendon. EMG measurement and analysis system were used to analyze the c...

A fuzzy logic based digital sinusoidal acceleration waveform amplitude controller for a PC based electrodynamic vibration actuator is presented. The fuzzy logic control (FLC) purpose is to reproduce pre-defined sinusoidal acceleration amplitude at the vibration table of a vibration actuator system. Sinusoid vibration profiles (sine and linear sine sweep) are considered for a closed-loop control...

Vibration is a manual technique used widely to assist with the removal of pulmonary secretions. Little is known about how vibration is applied or its effect on the respiratory system. The purpose of this study was to describe mechanical consequences of vibration on the chest wall of a normal subject and the effects of vibration on expiratory flow rates and volumes. The effects of vibration were...

Body lean response to bilateral vibrations of soleus muscles were investigated in order to understand the influence of proprioceptive input from lower leg in human stance control. Proprioceptive stimulation was applied to 17 healthy subjects by two vibrators placed on the soleus muscles. Frequency and amplitude of vibration were 60 Hz and 1 mm, respectively. Vibration was applied after a 30 s o...

We are developing a new method using ultrasonic longitudinal and torsional vibration of a hollow-type stepped horn for hole machining. We foresee that the equipment can be simplified and miniaturized. In this paper, ultrasonic vibration sources of a hollow-type stepped horn without a diagonal slits vibration converter and with a diagonal slits vibration converter are used. The longitudinal and ...

Since many rotor systems normally operate above their critical speeds, the problem of accelerating the machine through its critical speeds without excessive vibration draws increasing attention. This paper provides an analytical imbalance response of the Jeffcott rotor under constant acceleration. The response consists of three parts: transient vibration due to the initial condition of the roto...

Vibration fixtures, at times, have resonant frequencies that exist in the frequency range needed for conducting vibration tests. These resonant frequencies can cause significant problems when running vibration tests over ranges which include these resonances. A test engineer will attempt to control the shaker system through a feedback accelerometer which controls the level of vibration input in...
