Vibration Analysis and Monitoring
The SOCOTEC team has served as consultants to many projects related to vibrations, fluid-solid interactions, wind engineering, fatigue, noise transmission and control to federal, state and city agencies, national laboratories, and industry.
Vibration Analysis and Monitoring
There are many sources of vibration in the industrial environment. Excessive vibrations can lead to the formation of cracks, wear of bearings, loosening of connections, structural and mechanical failures, malfunction of electronic equipment and added costs to maintenance. Understanding the sources and effects of the vibration allows effective mitigation techniques to be applied. Our experience, combined with failure analysis and root cause methods have been used to provide solutions to numerous vibration-related problems.
