Where Can I Find Real-World Examples for Mechanical Vibration Problems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for textbooks on mechanical vibrations that include real-world examples alongside abstract schematics. A specific PDF is mentioned that contains numerous example problems but lacks practical applications. Participants express frustration with existing resources that primarily focus on theoretical schematics without real device context. A recommendation is made for "Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics" by Meriam and Kraige, which is noted for including practical examples. The conversation highlights a gap in educational materials that connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications in mechanical vibrations.

Good Morning

These documents suggest a good text on Vibrations.

If you read the PDF, you see MANY example problems.

However, each and every one is an abstract schematic.

I keep thinking: If only the author provided a supplement to aligh each abstract schematic with a REAL WORLD vibration problem/device.

I search for many books and they all do this.

Can someone suggest a book that ALSO provides REAL examples aligned with the schematics?

Most vibration textbooks will have a few examples with "real world" devices and a corresponding schematic. Rao comes to mind for example. But nearly every problem in every vibration book I'm aware of uses these schematics. These components (spring, mass, damper) are the basic building blocks of vibrations, the language in which these problems are formulated and solved.. It's like looking for a book on circuits and getting frustrated because you only see resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

I would expect the connection to "real" applications to be made in the actual text of the chapters? That PDF you linked is just worked problems.
 
These examples in the pdf actually look pretty good. If you want a classic Mechanical Engineering book that treats such examples, try "Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics" from Meriam and Kraige.
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
