CHAPTER 6
Single Degree of Freedom System: Machine Vibrations
6.1 INTRODUCTION
Installation of heavy machinery has assumed increased importance in view of increased sophistication in mechanics and electronics of machines. Foundations for these machines have to be specially designed taking into consideration the impact of the load, vibration characteristics of the machine, and properties of the soil. For different types of machines, different types of foundations are required to satisfy their individual requirements and characteristics. There are machines having static characteristics. Their foundations are designed using the limit states of collapse and serviceability design philosophy. The pressure on the soil cannot exceed their safe bearing ...
