A Tuned Vibration Absorber (TVA) is a device used within a system to reduce the severity of vibrations of a specific frequency in order to improve the robustness of the system. LORD is a company that sells TVA’s for industrial use, but is unable to demonstrate the technology at trade shows, as no equipment currently exists for this purpose. Ideally, a system could be created that allows for the direct comparison of the two vibration systems , while at the same time providing data to support the demonstration in a manner conducive to table top displays. Example of TVA Technology: The key goals of this project are:
The key constraints for the project are:
The expected end result of this project is to have a working prototype built, along with all associated engineering documents, a bill of materials, and detailed working and troubleshooting instructions by May of 2018. |
