THE STEADY STATE ANALYSIS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION CASE STUDY: BLOWER FAN FOR POLLUTION CONTROL

Abstract

This work aims to understand and study how structures behave when being subjected to vibrating equipments, these vibrations last for a long period of time (maybe decades) and this is what is called a steady-state vibration according to dynamics literature. The steady-state analysis underwent several checks such as the amplitude, velocity, acceleration, and most importantly the check of resonance phenomenon in accordance with the codes ACI 351 "Report on foundations for dynamic equipment" and ISO 1940 "Balance quality requirement of rigid rotors». Comparative analysis also was done between Global and discretized models to simplify and reduce analyzing time and found that using a discretized model is more efficient in matter of time consumption, and also, checked the importance of locations of the machine on the found results which turned out to be very important and always lead to reduce the cost of the support of the machines, All these analyses were done using the software SAP2000
