Application of Mechanical Vibration in the Machine Building Technology

Abstract:

The application of mechanical vibration has been known for many years, but some controversy still exists. According to some ideas the mechanical vibration reduces the technological stresses by summation of technological stress and stress from external loads (vibration). But on the other hand, the mechanical vibration causes more complicated phenomena (micro-relaxation) resulting in dimensional stability close to natural seasoning effects. In the present study authors present results of research into mechanical vibration from the experimental and practical point of view, proving that this process can be used to obtain dimensional stability. The results has also indicated that the reduction of the technological stresses is highly questionable.
