.
             The soil consist of 8 layer based on N-SPT data. At the depth of 0 - 4 m is sand with loose type of soil, at the depth 5 - 12 m is silty sand berupa pasir berlanau with loose type of soil, at the depth 13 - 16 m is sand with loose type of soil, at the depth 17 - 22 m is silty sand with loose type of soil, at the depth 23 - 27 m with stiff type of soil, at the depth 28 - 29 m is clay with stiff type of soil, at the depth 30 - 31 m is clayey sand with stiff type of soil and at the depth 32 - 40 m is clay with stiff type of soil.
             The pile was made of concrete and was modelled with length 33 m and have 0,35 m for the diamete by means of the linear elastic model considering non-porous behavior. The properties of the soils and pile is listed in Table 1 below.

             2.2 Geometry Modell.
             The length of geometry is 340 m and the depth is 40 m with 8 layer of soil. The pile was located on the right side of geometry with length 33 m and diametre 0,35 m, it was added dynamic load (~A) on the middle surface of the top of pile. Figure below, shows input geometry for the modell.

1. engine vibration monitoring

Today I am going to talk about ways to monitor the engines vibrations. ... Monitoring when the engine is in operation uses the same technique to analyse the vibration, the only difference is that instead of the excitation mechanism producing the vibration, we measure the engine vibration that it produces when running. ... The monitoring system measures the vibration signal by taking signals from the sensor then sends it to an electronic unit, this electronic unit converts the vibration velocity to an equivalent voltage value. . ...

3. Earthquakes

It was first formulated during the early 1960s, and it revolutionized the field of geology. ... When the fault begins to slip, movement in the crustal rock causes vibrations. ... The rupture then begins to travel in irregular steps along the fault; giving rise to the vibrations that propagate as seismic waves. ... Engineers use these maps to predict the average ground motions in a particular region and apply these predicted motions during engineering design phases of major construction. ... As technology increases so will both the preparation and eventually the prediction of earthquakes. ...

4. California Earthquakes

All that remains is to research what takes place before, during, and after an earthquake. This has been done for years to the point now that a successful earthquake prediction was made and was accurate. With Earthquakes, the "vibrations produced in the earth's crust when rocks in which elastic strain has been building up suddenly rupture, and then rebound."(Associated Press 1993) The vibrations can range from barely noticeable to catastrophically destructive. ... Which we call the ground. ...

5. Rotary and Piston Engines

The three parts move at the same time which reduces vibration for a smoother ride even at full throttle. ... During the whole acceleration process, the rotor turns at only one third the engine speed. Because of the low rotor to engine speed ratio, the rotary engine can withstand driving under higher load and at higher RPM's thus having high top speed, and incredible horse power as well as overall power in the higher rpm's. ... Additionally, the small size of the engine allows it to be placed somewhere where it gives a car good balance- behind the front axle and almost on the ground...

9. Aerodynamics

A small vibration sensor (accelerometer) is attached to the engine in a location where vibration due to mass imbalance is maximum. ... The engine is operated and the vibration and tach signals are processed by the electronic balancer. The balancer produces a vibration level (magnitude) which corresponds to the amount of mass imbalance which exists. ... The vibration level and phase angle are used to compute a balance solution (weight amount and location). ... The proper modeling of separation from smooth surfaces is of great value for the prediction of the aerodynamic characteristics of config...
