Abstract

Structural supports of heavy industrial vibrating machinery often prove inadequate because of excessive vibration during machinery operation. In the majority of cases, this vibration is due to harmonic resonance causing vibration amplification. The purpose of this paper is to present the designer with a means of eliminating this harmonic resonance by determining rapidly and easily the approximate basic floor beam frequencies by nomographs. Two extreme conditions have been presented: that of single degree of freedom, and that of infinite degree of freedom on the basis that sufficient accuracy can be obtained by reducing all beam loadings to one or the other extreme.
