Download or read book Noise Control for Hydraulic Machinery written by Stan Skaistis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1988-05-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on hydraulic components and machines rather than architectural or environmental noise control, this reference is unique in analyzing forces and moments in pumps ... showing how these forces produce noise at specific frequencies ... demonstrating how pump design controls these frequencies ... illustrating how a machine's noise-radiating surfaces affect noise ... and discussing fluid-borne noise. Noise Control of Hydraulic Machinery provides techniques for analyzing any pump type ... reviews the basics and terminology of sound, vibration, vibration isolation, fluid pulsations, Fourier analysis, cavitation, hydraulic shock, and enclosure design ... explains how pumps, motors, and valves generate airborne, structure-borne, and fluid-borne noises ... identifies hydraulic parameters that influence noise ... and guides planning programs for designing and developing quiet components or machines as well as quieting existing products. Illustrated with some 170 diagrams, Noise Control of Hydraulic Machinery is an essential reference for mechanical, fluid power, hydraulic, acoustical, and design engineers. Book jacket.
