Vibration of vibration are pulling a child back on a swing and letting it go, or hitting a tuning fork and letting it ring. The mechanical system vibrates at one or more of its natural frequencies and damps down to motionlessness. Forced vibration is when a time-varying disturbance (load, displacement or velocity) is applied to a mechanical system. The disturbance can be a periodic and steady-state input, a transient input, or a random input. The periodic input can be a harmonic or a non-harmonic disturbance. Examples of these types of vibration include a washing machine shaking due to an imbalance, transportation
Pound per hour Pound per hour Pound per hour is a mass flow unit. It is abbreviated as PPH or more conventionally as lb/h. Fuel flow for engines is usually expressed using this unit. It is particularly useful when dealing with gases or liquids, as volume flow varies more with temperature and pressure. In the US utility industry, steam and water flows throughout turbine cycles are typically expressed in PPH, while in Europe these mass flows are usually expressed in metric tonnes per hour: Minimum fuel intake on a jumbo jet can be as low as 150 lb/h when idling; however, this is
