It’s easy to take for granted equipment that runs smoothly and is comfortable to operate. However, a great deal of research and testing goes into optimizing the vibration of an engine. Advancements in ...

Jet engine vibration is arguably the worst enemy of a typical aircraft maintenance team. Parts which are out of balance can eventually result in a cracked turbine, fan, and compressor components, as ...

Software-generated lumped-mass models predict what version of a machine most effectively minimizes vibrations from motion inputs while damping vibration propagation at support structures. This is a 3D ...

In general, there are two main types of vibration plates: oscillating and tri-plate. Oscillating plates rock from side to side, for a gentler sensation, while tri-plates vibrate up and down, side to ...

Aircraft structures are prone to vibrations due to their lightweight construction. In most cases, these vibrations are not critical. They decay due to damping effects from aerodynamic forces and ...
