Vibration Analysis of Work Holding Devices in Composite Materials

Vibration is the most important criteria to be taken into account while designing and also important for considering the safety. In the vibration analysis various parameters like velocity, displacement, acceleration, and amplitude are taken into consideration. These parameters are finding out by using accelerometer, a vibration sensor. The output from accelerometer is interfaced to labview software by data acquisition system. Analogue to digital convertor is used for interfacing with computer. The accelerometer is interfaced to DAQ by software. The labview software vibrating force, amplitude and acceleration are observed. Labview is used for analysis of Mild Steel whereas Ansys Workbench is used for analysing Fe-TiC. The labview software is used to observe the data and calculating Magnification factor, force transmitted, Force at Resonance, and other parameters. The calculated values compared between the workholding device made of mild steel and Fe –TiC composite materials is done.
