  2. Vibration-powered generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration-powered_generator

    Generally, the coil is made using a diamagnetic material as these materials have weaker interactions with the magnet that would dampen the vibration. The main advantage of this type of generator is that it is able to produce more power than the piezoelectric generators. [1] Electromagnetic based vibration-powered generators have been ...

  3. Q factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor

    The Q factor is a parameter that describes the resonance behavior of an underdamped harmonic oscillator (resonator). Sinusoidally driven resonators having higher Q factors resonate with greater amplitudes (at the resonant frequency) but have a smaller range of frequencies around that frequency for which they resonate; the range of frequencies for which the oscillator resonates is called the ...

  4. Rayleigh's quotient in vibrations analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh's_quotient_in...

    The example shows how the Rayleigh's quotient is capable of getting an accurate estimation of the lowest natural frequency. The practice of using the static displacement vector as a trial vector is valid as the static displacement vector tends to resemble the lowest vibration mode.

  5. Random vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_vibration

    Mathematically, random vibration is characterized as an ergodic and stationary process. A measurement of the acceleration spectral density (ASD) is the usual way to specify random vibration. The root mean square acceleration (G rms ) is the square root of the area under the ASD curve in the frequency domain.

  6. Extreme response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_response_spectrum

    The Extreme Response Spectrum (ERS) (or Maximum Response Spectrum (MRS)) is defined as a curve giving the value of the highest peak of the response of a linear Single Degree of Freedom System (SDOF system) to vibration, according to its natural frequency, for a given damping ratio.

  7. Transmissibility (vibration) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmissibility_(vibration)

    Transmissibility is the ratio of output to input.. It is defined as the ratio of the force transmitted to the force applied. Transmitted force implies the one which is being transmitted to the foundation or to the body of a particular system.

  8. Shock response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_response_spectrum

    Different damping ratios produce different SRSs for the same shock waveform. Zero damping will produce a maximum response. Very high damping produces a very boring SRS: A horizontal line. The level of damping is demonstrated by the "quality factor", Q which can also be thought of transmissibility in sinusoidal vibration case.

  9. Vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration

    Vibration (from Latin vibrāre 'to shake') is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point.Vibration may be deterministic if the oscillations can be characterised precisely (e.g. the periodic motion of a pendulum), or random if the oscillations can only be analysed statistically (e.g. the movement of a tire on a gravel road).
