ABSTRACT

Like elastic solids, all industrial structures and installations are subjected to vibrations, either the ones they generate ( oscillating internal force produced by the unbalance of a rotating shaft, the interaction of gear teeth, etc.) or the ones they are subjected to due to their environment (external oscillating force produced by an adjacent engine, the bearing of a pipe, etc.). This article provides a qualitative description of the main vibratory phenomena, their propagation and attenuation. It then focuses on the disruptions caused; in certain cases the effects can be positive. It also presents certain notions of acoustics which allow for the providing of solutions to noise nuisances induced by the vibrations of industrial structures.

Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

 INTRODUCTION

All industrial structures and installations are subject to vibration, whether generated by themselves or by their environment.

The aim of this article is to give a qualitative description of the main vibratory phenomena. The paragraph 4 provides some basic acoustics for dealing with the problems of noise disturbance induced by the vibration of industrial structures.

The second article [R 6 191] Vibrations des structures industrielles – Tools for modeling, prediction and interpretation summarizes all the resources available to engineers for integrating control of vibration and acoustic aspects into all types of project.

The article [R 6 192] Vibrations in industrial structures – Tools and methods for experimental analysis gives an overview of the experimental approaches that will help confirm these models, support diagnoses and validate proposed solutions.

Finally, the article [R 6 194] Vibrations in industrial structures - Controlling vibrations and induced noise - Industrial case studies provides a number of real-life case studies, illustrating the practical benefits of the techniques and approaches presented in these various articles.
