NOTES AND NEWS
Traffic vibration: road surface quality drives vibration impacts
Just how much vibration impact can traffic create? Vibrasure produced a video at a large research institution in North America to show how significant it can be in academic laboratories.
Building vibration: mechanical systems vibration isolation
Machine vibration isolation schemes fail for all kinds of reasons, ranging from conceptual problems to bad hardware selections to poor installation. So, how can you tell if mechanical systems' isolators are working? A formal test is expensive and requires a lot of planning and coordination. Here, Vibrasure has produced a video on a easy way to tell if the isolators are working.
Floor vibration: here's what different walker speeds look like
A Vibrasure produced video on floor vibration and walker speed. It turns out that pace is by far the most-important parameter in predicting walker-generated floor vibrations. So, how fast do people really walk in buildings, anyway?
