Identifying and Understanding the Risk of Acoustic-Induced Vibration Failures
Authors: Nathan D. Libertowski; Michael F.P. Bifano
Acoustic-induced vibration (AIV) is often more difficult to identify than other vibration mechanisms, such as flow-induced turbulence, slug flow, mechanical excitation from machinery, and acoustic pulsation. This article discusses ways to identify and mitigate AIV at a plant, plus how to proactively prevent AIV using design controls.
