Prevention of damage due to the transmission of vibration can also be achieved using structural techniques such as pins and sliders. Dynamic analysis techniques can be used to identify and design in or out dynamic responses. Mode frequency analysis will identify natural frequencies of systems and sub systems, time domain analysis will assess vibration transmission. Nuisance Vibration Transmission Nuisance from transmitted vibration is not confined to transmission within structures. Vibration from factories and industrial sites can be transmitted through the ground to neighbouring residential sites.
Vibration is transmitted from road and rail, through service conduits, and many more routes.
Studies can be undertaken to attempt to identify the source of nuisance vibration, and hence to suggest solutions.
