Torsional Vibration is angular vibration of an object—commonly a shaft along its axis of rotation. Torsional vibration is often a concern in power transmission systems using rotating shafts or couplings where it can cause failures if not controlled.

Torsional Vibration Analysis (TVA) or Torsional Vibration Calculations (TVC) as it is sometimes referred to, looks at the harmonics and natural frequencies of a system, to allow us to avoid these when selecting the appropriate coupling.

During this seminar, we will look at Vibration Theory, Mass Elastic Models, Resonance, 3 Mass Systems, Harmonic Analysis, a TVA example, Assessing Coupling Suitability, and Heat Loading of the Rubber Elements.

Speakers:

Joshua Chadwick works as the Head of Sales for the Renold Hi-Tec Couplings business.  After studying a Masters in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Liverpool he then worked in a number of design engineering roles at ABB and then Trelleborg Offshore, latterly taking a commercial route as he realised the problem solving started right from the first customer conversation.  With experience of working across a number of industries including chemical, industrial, subsea, oil and gas and defence he enjoys the opportunity to solve problems and bring true value to customers.  This is exactly what the Renold Hi-Tec coupling range brings to industry, unique value through solving key customer issues.

Andy Chappell works as the Sales Manager for the Renold Hi-Tec Couplings business. Having studied Motorsport Engineering at the University of Central Lancashire, including a year in industry at Cummins Engines where he was placed in Customer Support Engineering, Andy realised a customer-facing technical role best suited his abilities. Andy enjoys working alongside customers and the Renold engineering team to create bespoke solutions.
