  2. Noise, vibration, and harshness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise,_vibration,_and...

    Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via jury evaluations, or with analytical ...

  3. Vibration isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_isolation

    Vibration isolation is the prevention of transmission of vibration from one component of a system to others parts of the same system, as in buildings or mechanical systems. [1] Vibration is undesirable in many domains, primarily engineered systems and habitable spaces, and methods have been developed to prevent the transfer of vibration to such ...

  4. Machining vibrations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining_vibrations

    The explanation of the machine tool regenerative chatter was made by Tobias. S. A. and W. Fishwick in 1958, [2] by modeling the feedback loop between the metal cutting process and the machine tool structure, and came with the stability lobes diagram. The structure stiffness, damping ratio and the machining process damping factor, are the main ...

  5. Agitator (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agitator_(device)

    An agitator is a device or mechanism to put something into motion by shaking or stirring.There are several types of agitation machines, including washing machine agitators (which rotate back and forth) and magnetic agitators (which contain a magnetic bar rotating in a magnetic field).

  6. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

    Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

  7. Torsional vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsional_vibration

    Torsional vibration is a concern in the crankshafts of internal combustion engines because it could break the crankshaft itself; shear-off the flywheel; or cause driven belts, gears and attached components to fail, especially when the frequency of the vibration matches the torsional resonant frequency of the crankshaft. Causes of the torsional ...

  8. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    The tuned mass damper was introduced as part of the suspension system by Renault on its 2005 F1 car (the Renault R25), at the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix.The system reportedly reduced lap times by 0.3 seconds: a phenomenal gain for a relatively simple device. [1]

  9. Acoustic quieting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_quieting

    Using high speed logic, vibrations can be damped quickly and effectively by counteracting the motion before it exceeds a certain threshold. Electronic noise control : Electronics, sensors, and computers are also employed to cancel noise by using phase cancellation which matches the sound amplitude with a wave of the opposite polarity .
