Earn Your Structural Engineering Certificate in Advanced Analysis from One of the Top-Ranked Engineering Schools. Through their careful examination of complex structures, both large and small, ...

Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

With the technological advancements currently available, many applications where data acquisition systems are deemed essential today were never considered possible just a few years ago. This is the ...

NOTE: Click on images or equations to make them larger. Last month’s column discussed the basics of simulating resonant or natural vibration frequencies as an introduction to performing advanced ...

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 ...

Part 1 of this series addressed the advantages and disadvantages of various vibration sensors; Part 2 examined signal conditioning and system hardware selection and configuration. I’ll wrap up by ...

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 ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...
