SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR IC VIBRATING EQUIPMENT (1) Inorder to avoid support structures support stools, directly connected to co-oscillating with vibratory equipment, ‘the beam should be considered as the design of support beams and end part of the mass of the beam for the connections should be calculated from purposes of this calculation. the static and dynamic loads indicated (4) To avoid troublesome resonance Upon the arrangement drawing vibrations, the natural frequency of particularly when beams having a free the supporting structure must differ length of more than five metres transmit ‘rom the operating frequency of the these loads into main supports, equipment, indicated upon the (2) The supporting structure should be arrangement drawing, anda braced in all three planes whenever this difference of + 20% is recommended is possible Its preferable to arrange the natural (3) Having selected beams of adequate ‘requency of any beams to be higher strength for the equipment loadings, than the operational frequency so that ‘their natural frequency should then be the two frequencies cannot become calculated. The mass of the equipment coincident during starting and being supported on the beams should stopping of the equipment be distegarded when itis not rigidly (5) _-These notes are for guidance only connected to the beams (e.g. mounted and IC cannot accept any upon soft springs). However, any responsibilty of the transmission of additional weight, such as floor plates, vibrations to structural supports, Natural Frequencies of Beams During Bending Vibrations (according to Van Santen) The natural frequencies (vo) of any beam may be calculeted from the following formula El Vo =C, mis modulus of elasticity = moment of inertia beam mass beam length Factor C (w/o dimension) may be taken from the table overleat. where E H m 1 9.2603eer=9 ¥ee=0 VaI=o Even we oreo’ zr ois | wesg 82s) gor 269 oe apis euo woes | ASS | dea | OO — ye pebuy weeg a> 262" 69" |p 82" soe | > vee iss ed o | eer=0 06." ws) > “tee zou | vee=o "paduieyo opis eug, poBuly 010 eu © weeq pepuedsns Ajeaug (y) = 6-0 E x S9pis o7g \ \ rl y}epieuuleeg “|S ee ze | pose wo 7] tos lo © zaz=0 Ter=o 3-0 7 seBuly ul weeg @ pis euo 1 poy weeg w 3 abustion in apex Kolkata ¥ Sal Lake Ele fc EP & Sac ic International Combustion (India) Limited
