Mechanical Vibrations and Resonance Quiz

______ occurs when the natural frequency of a system matches the frequency of external forces or vibrations. This can result in amplified vibrations, leading to structural damage and performance issues

Mechanical wear, such as worn bearings or gears, can introduce vibrations in a system. Faults like cracks, looseness, or unbalanced loads can also cause vibrations

______: By analyzing the vibrations in machinery or structures, engineers can diagnose and detect faults, wear, or misalignment. Vibration analysis techniques, such as vibration monitoring and condition-based maintenance, help in predicting and preventing potential failures, improving reliability and safety

______: Vibration is utilized in construction and civil engineering to compact and consolidate materials

Resonance can be caused by improper design, insufficient damping, or external disturbances
