Control systems vibration measurement

In addition to the building parameters, there are often some requirements from suppliers of processes and equipment to make sure their parts function properly. This may mean that the requirements for the equipment decide the target levels (e.g., in pharmaceutical and electronics industries). In other cases there are restrictions on deviations from the target levels (e.g., on temperature for machine control system or on humidity and vibration for optical measure nient systems). ... 

System automation is made easier by the availability of many subsystems that are easily controlled by computer. Process instrumentation of all types and radiometric measurement equipment is available with standard computer interface options. Computer hardware and software is available both for simple and complex control systems. Mechanical equipment for automating the handling of multiple samples includes pumps, valves, heaters, shakers, vibrating plates, and stirring systems for mixing samples. 

Active Vibration ControV - Fully active vibration control systems employ sensors to measure the vibration of concern, actuators to provide forces that act to reduce this vibration, and signal processors to provide appropriate control signals to the actuators. The actuators, which may be electrodynamic or piezoelectric, may react against a support (often advantageously in parallel with conventional isolators) or against an inertial mass. In semiactive vibration control systems, the characteristics of some elements of the vibrating system—such as the stiffness of isolators, the resonance frequency of a dynamic absorber, or the positions of masses—are adjusted automatically on the basis of sensed vibrations. 

These expressions can be derived by the interested reader. The resonant frequency co is that frequency for which the sinusoidal output response has the maximum amplitude for a given sinusoidal input. Eqs. (14-25) and (14-26) indicate how co and (A/ )max depend on This behavior is used in designing organ pipes to create sounds at specific frequencies. However, excessive resonance is undesirable, for example, in automobiles, where a particular vibration is noticeable only at a certain speed. For industrial processes operated without feedback control, resonance is seldom encountered, although some measurement devices are designed to exhibit a hmited amount of resonant behavior. On the other hand, feedback controllers can be tuned to give the controlled process a slight amount of oscillatory or underdamped behavior in order to speed up the controlled system response (see Chapter 12). 

If there is no fluctuation of laser intensity, we have to measure /q only once. Actually, the envelope of laser pulses changes in a relatively long time range (typically from several minutes to a few tens of minutes) because of the change of environmental factors such as room temperature and coolant temperature. There is also an intensity jitter caused by factors such as the mechanical vibration of mirrors and the timing jitter of electronics. Furthermore, in our system, the laser system is located about 15 m from the beam port to prevent radiation damage to the laser system. (Later, it was moved into a clean room, which was installed in the control room to keep the room temperature constant and to keep the laser system clean. The distance is about 10 m.) Therefore it is predicted that a slight tilt of a mirror placed upstream will cause a displacement of the laser pulse at the downstream position where the photodetector is placed. 

However, the MEP may be a convenient measure of the progress of a molecule in a reaction, because in general a molecule will move, on average, along the MEP in a well-defined valley, and it is a good approximation of the motion of vibrationally cold systems (e.g., for photochemical reactions in which the excited state reactant has a small/controlled amount of vibrational excess energy).
