    The document discusses mechanical vibrations, sources of vibrations, and vibration isolation. It notes that vibrations are produced by unbalanced masses or forces in machines and can cause machinery failure or noise. Vibration isolation is important for precision equipment and semiconductor industries. Sources of vibration include ground vibrations and direct disturbances. Passive isolation techniques use springs or elastomers, while active techniques use sensors, actuators and controllers. The goal of isolation is to minimize force or motion transmitted from the vibration source.

    INTRODUCTION

    • Vibrations are produced in machines having


    unbalanced masses or forces
    • High vibration levels can cause machinery
    failure, as well as objectionable noise levels
    • A common source of objectionable noise in
    buildings is the vibration of machines that are
    mounted on floors or walls

    IMPORTANCE OF VIBRATION ISOLATION

    •Semiconductor Industries
    • High Precision Measurement
    • Aerospace Equipments

    Vibration isolation table or platform is necessary

    Vibration Isolation

    VIBRATION ISOLATION

    • Vibration isolation is the process of isolating


    an object, such as a piece of equipment, from
    the source of vibration
    • The effectiveness of isolation is expressed in
    terms of force or motion
    • Lesser the amount of force or motion
    transmitted to the foundation greater is said to
    be the isolation
