Study on Vibration Transmission, with Application to the Calibration of a Measuring Stand

Abstract:

The paper studies the vibration transmitted by a mechanical oscillating system to its fixing device. The influence of the mechanical characteristics (inertial and elastic) of the device on the quantities specific to the free and forced vibration, respectively, of the principal system, is analyzed. In this context, the paper investigates the possibility to correlate the vibrations of the mechanical system with the vibrations measured on the fixing device. The conclusions of this study can be used for the calibration of vibration measuring stands. In the final part, a practical application is presented, aimed to compare the theoretical results with the data obtained by measurements performed on an experimental model built by the authors.
