What is ISO 10813‑2 - Vibration-generating machines selection guidance about?
A proper selection of vibration generating system, when purchasing new test equipment or updating existing equipment for the purposes of a specific test or when choosing between the equipment proposed by a test laboratory or even selecting a laboratory which offers its service to carry out such a test, is very important.
ISO 10813 series provides you guidance for with selection of vibration-generating machines. ISO 10813-2 focuses on the equipment for dynamic structural testing. ISO 10813‑2 deals only with translational excitation. For equipment applied to generate angular vibration.
ISO 10813‑2 provides guidance to select a vibration generator that will be used to evaluate frequency responses of a test structure or to study how vibration grows/decreases along with the structure. These structural dynamics tests can be carried out under field or laboratory conditions.
ISO 10813‑2 describes the selection procedure in terms of the force developed by a single vibration generator. To move massive structures such as dams or bridges, an assembly of vibration generators is usually applied. Properly phased generators produce in total the same force as calculated for a single vibration generator.
The guidance from ISO 10813‑2 also can be applied for the selection of equipment to be used for modal testing to determine natural frequencies, modal shapes and damping in a structure.
Who is ISO 10813‑2 - Vibration generating machines selection guidance for?
ISO 10813‑2 on vibration generating machines selection guidance is applicable to:
- Design engineers of vibration-generating machines
- Manufacturers of vibration-generating machines
- Testing authorities for structural testing of machines
- Civil engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Metrology professionals
Why should you use ISO 10813‑2 - Vibration generating machines selection guidance?
Vibration generating systems are complex machines, so the correct selection always demands a certain degree of engineering judgement. The purchaser, when selecting the vibration test equipment, can resort to the help of a third party. In such a case, ISO 10813‑2 helps the purchaser to ascertain if the solution proposed by the third party is acceptable or not.
ISO 10813‑2 deals with equipment intended to be used for dynamic structural testing, and selection procedures are predominantly designed to meet the requirements of this testing. Specific test conditions and the specific object to be tested can significantly influence the selection.
ISO 10813‑2 also helps designers and manufacturers to assess the market environment. ISO 10813‑2 helps you user with various types of vibration generators that help to resolve problems in generating vibration at low frequencies.
