    Mechanical Vibrations
    Fall 2016

    Department of Mechanical Engineering


    University of Engineering and Technology Lahore

    Lecture 25

    Last Time:

    Control of Vibration

    Controlling natural frequency


    Preventing large amplitudes at resonance by introducing damping
    Reducing transmission of forces

    Today:

    Start of Chapter 10, Vibration Measurement and Applications


    Transducers
    Vibration Pickups
    Signal Analysis

    Vibration Measurement and Application

    Higher demands lead to higher operating speeds of the machinery and


    efficient use of light materials is increasing the chances of occurrence
    of resonant conditions
    Therefore periodic measurement of vibrations characteristics is
    essential
    Any shift in vibration characteristics indicates either failure or need for
    maintenance
    The measurement of frequencies of vibration and forces developed is
    necessary in the design and operation of vibration isolation
    The measurement of input and resulting output vibration of a system
    helps in identifying the system in terms of its mass, stiffness and
    damping

    Transducers:
    Variable-Resistance Transducer

    A device that converts a mechanical signal into electrical signal is


    called transducer
    Variable-resistance transducer is also called strain gauge
    Change in resistance can be calculated using Wheatstone bridge

    Transducers:
    Piezoelectric Transducers

    Certain natural and manufactured materials like quartz, lithium sulfate


    and tourmaline generate charge when subjected to deformation, such
    materials are called piezoelectric materials
    Charge disappears after loading is removed

    Transducers:
    Electrodynamics Transducers

    When an electrical conductor, shaped as coil, moves in presence of


    magnetic field, a voltage E is generated
    Since voltage generated is proportional to the relative velocity, this
    kind of transducer can be used as velocity pickup

    Transducers:
    Linear Variable Differential Transducer

    The output voltage depends on the magnetic coupling between coils


    and core
    The secondary coils are connected in phase opposition

    Vibration Pickups:
    Vibrometer

    When a transducer is used in conjunction with another device to


    measure vibrations, it is called a vibration pickup

    Vibration Pickups:
    Vibrometer (contd)

    Vibration Pickups:
    Accelerometer

    It is easier to make accelerometer than vibrometer


    Once acceleration is obtained, it can be integrated to obtain velocity
    and displacement

    11

    Vibration Pickups:
    Velometer

    We are required to measure velocity of the vibrating body:

    Frequency Measurement Instrument

    Single-reed instrument or Fullarton tachometer


    Multi-reed instrument or Frahm tachometer
