    VIBRATION MEASUREMENT In some practical situations‚ it might be difficult to develop a mathematical model of the system and predict its vibration characteristics through an analytical study. In such cases‚ we can use experimental methods to measure the vibration response of the system to a known input. This helps in identifying the system in terms of its mass‚ stiffness‚ and damping. In practice the measurement of vibration becomes necessary for the following reasons: 1. The increasing demands

    Introduction 2 If a physical phenomenon of interest is random‚ then each time history measurement x(t) of that phenomenon represents a unique set of circumstances which is not Iikely to be repeated in other independent measurements of that same phenomenon. Hence‚ to completely define all properties of the phenomenon‚ it is necessary to conceptually think in terms of all the time history measurements {x(t)} that might have been made. For the usual case of engineering interest where the phenomenon

    The Purpose of Work Measurement Method study is the principal technique for reducing the work involved‚ primarily by eliminating unnecessary movement on the part of material or operatives and by substituting good methods for poor ones. Work measurement is concerned with investigating‚ reducing and subsequently eliminating ineffective time‚ that is time during which no effective work is being performed‚ whatever the cause. Work measurement‚ as the name suggests‚ provides management with a means

    Archimedes’ Principle method instead of submerging the object? If the object was dropped into the beaker‚ then the measurements would not be correct. F. How did the magnet’s density measurement using the Archimedes’ Principle compare to the density measurement using the calculated volume? Which method might be more accurate? Why? The calculated volume measurement is more accurate because Archimedes’ Principle might have a higher percentage of error.
