How to perform theoretical vibro transporter analysis?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on performing theoretical vibro transporter analysis for a vibrating section with serrated plates designed to transport and align longitudinal parts. Key considerations include determining the frequency and optimum vibration path, as well as understanding the force transfer from the exciter to the parts. The challenge lies in balancing the force applied to ensure effective movement without overloading the components. Additionally, there is interest in using simulation tools like ANSYS to gather data on optimal feeder inclination, transfer rates, and displacement. Accessing relevant data sources and mathematical models is also a priority for supporting the analysis.

I am working on a vibrating section containing serrated plates which transports and aligns longitudinal parts. I have come up with model modification but I have no theory to back it up.
How could I perform some vibro analysis, maybe determining frequency, optimum vibration path etc.?
Can you refer me to some data sources (links of analyses)?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Vibrating feeders depends on displacement of the vibration on the part, and frequency to get time of transport. Fairly straight forward, except for when you transfer too much force or not enough to move the part(s). The exciter F=ma transfer to the part I imagine is the tough part.

Here is a bad copy of paper that explains the math they used...

Thanks but one more thing...
How much data could I get from a simulation (ANSYS etc.)? I've performed some eigenfrequency simulations before but in terms of vibrating chute feeder could I possibly find out such things as optimum feeder inclination, transfer rate, displacement?
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
