Editorial: Special Issue on Experimental Vibration Analysis

Abstract

The vibratory analyses are particularly present today in the various fields of industry, from aeronautics to manufacturing, from machining and maintenance to civil engineering, to mention a few areas, which have made this special issue a true need. The International Journal of Mechanics & Industry compiles a Special Issue on Experimental Vibration Analysis. More than thirty manuscripts were received by the international scientific committee on the 6th congress AVE2016 and only eight papers have been selected after completing a careful and rigorous peer-review process for the Special Issue, which are briefly summarized below.

An efficient method for estimating the damping ratio of a vibration isolation system

“…Vibration isolation systems developed to prevent the transfer of vibrations are necessary for implementation of building structures, ultra-precision manufacturing and measurement, aerospace science, vehicle engineering and other fields [1][2][3]. In general, the harmful vibration energy imported by the environment or ground is mainly consumed by viscous damping in these systems.…”
