Vibration panel

Set parameters to control HTRI's flow-induced tube vibration screening procedure. All fields on this
panel
are optional.
Tube vibration is a very complex subject. Reports STV-1 through STV-8 (Shellside Flow) provide
background for the vibration screening procedure. Use HTRI's Xvib program to supplement Xist 's
procedure.
Xvib performs flow-induced vibration analysis of a single tube in a heat exchanger bundle. The
program
uses a rigorous structural analysis approach to calculate the tube natural frequencies for various
modes
and offers flexibility in the geometries it can handle. Xvib is designed for cases requiring in-depth
analysis.
In most cases, you do not have any values for the fields on this panel. Enter any values you do have
because they improve the vibration analysis accuracy. If you do not, the default values should be
sufficient for most cases.
