Acoustically Induced Vibration: A Review of Industry Best Practice
WKC Partner and Noise and Vibration practice leader, Richard Palmer, has recently had an article published in the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) Journal titled ‘Acoustically Induced Vibration: A Review of Industry Best Practice’. This technical paper, which provides the reader with a better understanding of the Acoustic Induced Vibration phenomenon, was published in the IOA Journal in September 2015. The full article can be viewed following the link below.
Failure of piping systems in the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors can lead to asset damage, environmental impacts and potentially loss of life. The UK’s Health and Safety Executive for offshore industry calculated that 20% of all process pipework failures in the North Sea are due to vibration induced fatigue. High levels of acoustic energy is one of the prime causes of such piping system failures and is known as acoustically induced vibration (AIV).
