There are a wide variety of loads and vibrations that can act on vibrating foundations and clamping plates. Examples of these are:
Static loads: These are constant, unchanging loads, such as the weight of a machine or other structure that rests permanently on the foundation. Dynamic loads: These loads change over time and can be caused, for example, by machine movements, moving parts or load changes. Shock loads: Sudden, short load peaks that can be caused, for example, by the falling of a heavy object or a machine fault. Harmonic vibrations: These are caused by repetitive movements or cycles, such as those that occur in rotating machinery. Random vibrations: Unpredictable vibrations that may be caused by external factors or irregular machine operating conditions, for example.
