INTRODUCTION
• Vibrations are produced in machines having
unbalanced masses or forces
• High vibration levels can cause machinery
failure, as well as objectionable noise levels
• A common source of objectionable noise in
buildings is the vibration of machines that are
mounted on floors or walls
SOURCES OF EXAMPLES
VIBRATION
Rotating and reciprocating Unbalance Pumps, Turbines, Electric Generators,
Compressors

VIBRATION ISOLATORS
• The vibration isolation may be obtained by
placing materials, called vibration isolators in
between the vibrating body and the supporting
foundation or structure

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS WITH
VIBRATION ISOLATOR SELECTION
1) Machine Location :
• As far away from sensitive areas as possible
• And on as rigid a foundation as possible
3) Location of isolators :
• Isolators should be equally loaded, and the machine
should be level
4) Stability :
• Sideways motion should be restrained with snubbers
• The diameter of the spring should also be greater than its compressed
height
5) Adjustment :
• Springs should have free travel, should not be fully compressed, nor
hitting a mechanical stop
7) Safe operation :
• To avoid a spring break, you must have mechanical supports on which
the machine can rest without tipping
VIBRATION ISOLATION
MATERIALS
• The materials normally used for vibration
isolation are rubber, felt, cork, metallic
springs, etc.
• These are put between the foundation and the
vibrating body

SPRING
BASE EXCITATION
• It models the behavior of a vibration isolation
system
• The base of the spring is given a prescribed
motion, causing the mass to vibrate
• This system can be used to model a vehicle
suspension system, or the earthquake response
of a structure
