Vibration analysis

Back in the 70's my father, working for Gilbert-Commonwealth, was involved with such testing for numerous power-generating plants. The resultant data collected was quite overwhelming ~ including (ultimately) various significant differences between concretes (slabs) produced in the states versus those overseas (UK).

I am not the expert, here, but my off-hand suspicion is that any "quick formulas" would require a considerable amount of additional "Input" from your end , before anything of any value could be offered.

Wishing you success ~

The design of foundations and the associated unknowns will not allow you to better design the foundation. The factors of safety (uncertainty) are 3 in general which is too vague to accurately assess if the compressor will suffer.

The damping inherent with most sunken foundations (non-linear friction between sides of the foundation and the soil) will significantly reduce any vibration resonance.

A foundation will, in general, have a much greater mass than the rotating mass that the compressor has. It shouldn't be a problem.

Hi i will send you a file to help calculate resonance of Viberating Equipment foundation' please send me your email ID I cannot attach it here.. fareed_siddique@yahoo.com

Hi

I will send you a file for Viberating equipment foundation Analysis & Design. There are no quick formulae for this but a full analysis with resonance. Please send me your email ID, my email is fareed_siddique@yahoo.com.
