Utah's iconic Rainbow Bridge hums with natural and human-made vibrations, according to a new study. The study characterizes the different ways the bridge vibrates and what frequencies and energy ...

Korean researchers have developed an energy harvester that can generate electric power from ambient vibrations with diverse frequencies through a novel automatic resonance tuning mechanism. It was ...

To correct oscillations in a machine,mechanical design improvements and electronic filters are typically employed.However, these solutions often deliver limited success. Engineers should ...

Human-induced vibrations represent a critical aspect in the design and serviceability assessment of modern civil engineering structures. These oscillations, generated by pedestrian movement and daily ...

In this video we take a look at how vibrating systems can be modelled, starting with the lumped parameter approach and single degree of freedom models. We then go on to look at damping, the ...

A new University of Alberta study shows that vibrating the spine may reveal more when it comes to treating back pain. Magnetic resonance image isn't everything. Teaming with the University of South ...

Vibration occurs in any structure that moves or has moving parts. The effects of vibration range from minor annoyance, such as noise in an automobile, to significant damage to the structure or its ...
