Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the topic of calculating vibration, with participants seeking clarification on the specific context and formulas involved. The scope includes theoretical and practical aspects of vibration in engineering, particularly related to motors and their operational characteristics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • David seeks a formula for calculating vibration but does not specify the context or application.
  • Some participants emphasize the need for more specific information regarding the type of vibration calculation David is interested in.
  • One participant notes that vibration is a complex subject often covered in advanced engineering courses, suggesting that there is no single formula applicable to all scenarios.
  • David expresses a desire to add several equations to his website, which he aims to make a resource for engineers and students.
  • There are inquiries about the meaning of a line through a user's name, indicating a ban due to spamming.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that more specificity is needed to address David's request adequately. However, there is no consensus on what specific formulas or calculations might be relevant without further context.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the ambiguity in the phrase "calculating vibration," as it lacks a clear definition or scope. Participants point out that various factors influence vibration calculations, which may depend on the specific application or system in question.

Hello,
I am looking for calculating vibration, can anyone help me with formula

From what?
 
If you want an answer, you're going to have to be a bit more specific! How would you respond if I asked "How do you calculate power?"

What are you trying to do?
 
David, there's a simple answer here (the motor vibrates at a frequency determined by its rotation rate), which may or may not (probably not) be all you want to know. The trouble is, after that, vibration gets very complicated and is the subject of an upper-level engineering course (generally considered the hardest ME course there is). The phrase "calculating vibration" doesn't actually have any meaning. There isn't just one potential calculation. So you're going to have to give us much more about what you want.

You posted a website there - is it yours and are you looking for calculations you can add to it?

Yes I am looking to add several equations, my website is free to use, My goal is to help as many engineers and students around the world.
 
Why is there a line through DavidGross' name? I've seen this before on some others, what does it mean?

CS
 
The line through the name means the user has been banned. In this case, for spamming (under several names).

I figured it was something bad.

Thanks Doc.
