Vibration Case Study Shorts

1. 3801 VIBRATING CONVEYOR The support structure for this conveyor system is over 10 m tall and utilises anti-vibration mounts (AVMs). The requirement was to establish that these AVM's were fit for purpose and that their transmitted vibration would not lead to fatigue cracks in the structure. This involved a mix of vibration theory and finite element analysis. Special attention was required for the design of bracing [...]

Altoona Seismic Damper

DC White have been involved in seismic design of safety-critical structures for more than 25 years. To this end we have designed, developed and are in the process of producing a range of structural dampers, the Altoona DamperTM, which uses simple proven techniques to provide isolation and greatly increase damping of a structure - but only at the time of a seismic event. Simple yet Uniquely Effective [...]

Sonar Float Oceanic Flow Calculation – Sub Sea Navigation

The brief: Our clients are world leaders in subsea navigation, positioning and communications. They are developing a new design of communications float to minimise drag and oscillation noise. The float is used for acoustic navigation and positioning, and can be used to identify submerged equipment. DC White Engineering Consultants were asked to investigate the drag characteristics of the new design over a range of uniform flows. [...]
