What would be the possible effects of vibration if it frequently happens in some of the primary machines or equipment that are used in industry?

Unchecked machine vibration can accelerate rates of wear (i.e. reduce bearing life) and damage equipment. Vibrating machinery can create noise, cause safety problems and lead to degradation in plant working conditions. Vibration can cause machinery to consume excessive power and may damage product quality.

What are the effects of vibration in mechanical systems?

Vibration can accelerate machine wear, consume excess power, and cause equipment to be taken out of service, resulting in unplanned downtime. Other effects of vibration include safety issues and diminished working conditions.

What is segmental vibration?

Segmental vibration refers to a medical condition that affects a section of the body, in particular the hands and arms from being exposed to repetitive vibratory sensations such as caused from handling mechanical equipment that generates rough oscillatory sensation.

Why is vibration a serious health issue?

Vibration is transmitted into your hands and arms when using hand held / operated tools and machinery. Excessive exposure can affect the nerves, blood vessels, muscles and joints of the hand, wrist and arm causing Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS).

What are the causes of vibration on ships?

Excitation forces from the propeller are transmitted into the ship via the shaft line and also in the form of pressure pulses acting on the ship hull surface above the propeller. ... The propeller induces fluctuating pressures on the surface of the hull, which induces vibration in the hull structure.

Why is my body suddenly vibrating?

Internal vibrations are thought to stem from the same causes as tremors. The shaking may simply be too subtle to see. Nervous system conditions such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), and essential tremor can all cause these tremors.

Can vibration cause heart problems?

Experimental studies have shown that exposure to vibration leads to elevated blood pressure (bp), changes in heart-rate variability and changes in peripheral vascular contraction [12–16].

What harm can be caused by vibration?

Vibration can cause changes in tendons, muscles, bones and joints, and can affect the nervous system. Collectively, these effects are known as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). Workers affected by HAVS commonly report: attacks of whitening (blanching) of one or more fingers when exposed to cold.

What are the clinical symptoms of vibration disease?

Vibration syndrome has adverse circulatory and neural effects in the fingers. The signs and symptoms include numbness, pain, and blanching (turning pale and ashen). Of particular concern is evidence of advanced stages of vibration syndrome after exposures as short as one year.

Can vibration cause nerve damage?

Sensory nerve damage.

Early signs that you are experiencing sensory nerve damage from vibration include numbness or tingling in one or more of your fingers. This sensation might come and go, and could be mild, but severe cases can lead to permanent numbness.

What happens if high level of vibration occurs?

Exposure to vibration could have a negative effect on the health of your employees. It could damage joints, muscles, circulation and sensory nerves. This could lead to considerable pain, time off or even disability.

What causes engine vibration?

Main Causes of Electric Motor Vibration

The main causes of motor vibration include, but are not limited to an electronic or mechanical imbalance, faulty gears, failed bearings, loose foundations, wear and tear or misalignment. Imbalances: An imbalance is like a weighted spot in the rotating component of a motor.

What action causes the vibration?

When an object vibrates, it causes movement in surrounding air molecules. These molecules bump into the molecules close to them, causing them to vibrate as well. This makes them bump into more nearby air molecules. This “chain reaction” movement, called sound waves, keeps going until the molecules run out of energy.
