Effects on Machines & Structures: Machine Diagnostics.

The article presents summaries of several studies on the effects of noise and vibration on machines and structures published in various periodicals. One study proposed a stochastic method for damage detection and identification in the shafts of rotating machines. An experimental study examines the noise reduction of an industrial forward-curved (FC) blades centrifugal fan. Another research focuses on the vibration of suspended bridges subjected to moving loads and vertical support motions due to earthquake.
