What is Damping and why is it useful?

What is Damping? I am starting with a big question today :) …and to answer this question, we have to understand a few things about dynamic analysis first… Because only a part moving in some way experiences damping… Damping is basically an attenuation of this movement due to some kind of friction If you hadn’t […]

Do you understand the dynamic analysis simulation process?

In my previous article, I asked to my newsletter subscribers 2 questions to see who knew how to perform a dynamic analysis of the following marine refrigeration machine:  The questions were: Question 1: What steps would you take to identify the main vibration characteristics of the marine refrigeration machine in the previous image? Question 2: […]

Steady State VS Transient State FE Analysis

  you are wondering what is the relation between a Showerhead and FEA Analysis ? if you look at the world around you and you understand the physics, you will always see some Mechanical or Thermal behavior everywhere… at least, I am (let me know if it is not normal…) I chose this simple example […]
