Floor vibration analysis for a platform mounted by equipments
Floor vibration analysis for a platform mounted by equipments
(OP)
Hi,
I want to check floor vibration criteria for a platform (industrial structural steel platform) carrying an equipment producing vibration.
Is there any one knows how to make a floor vibration analysis for a platform mounted by equipment?. The equipment manual provides all important information like the frequency, mass, and type of supports.
I tried to search for any related analysis methods, but, always find floor vibration analysis due to human activities not due to equipments vibration.
I will appreciate it if any body mentions any related site or books or even hand equations.
Thanks for your help in advance.

You can do this with RISA, SAP, STAAD...
If the forcing frequencies are more than 4x different than you structure, you're off to a good start.

I am searching for the basic equations that control the relation between the equipment frequency and the structure frequency.
Do you know any reference discuss that issue (book, website, paper, ...)
Note: I am not sure if there will be isolators or not.
Thanks again for your help

Chopra (with emphasis on seismic, but still a good general text and most understandable) and Clough & Penzien are ones I would start with.
Go to your local university library or bookstore or get one of these used texts at Amazon.
Good luck
