Good Vibrations

This outline discusses the goals, experimental setup, preliminary results, and plans for summer studies on vibrations at CHESS. The study aims to analyze and mitigate vibrations in various components to enhance operational efficiency. By using advanced equipment and data processing techniques, the researchers seek to identify and control sources of unwanted vibrations, primarily caused by water flow in cooling coils, to improve overall operational stability and performance. The presented findings suggest effective strategies for reducing low-frequency vibrations and outline future research directions for a comprehensive vibration analysis. Acknowledging the support and contributions from mentors, collaborators, and funding agencies, the study highlights the importance of systematic vibration studies to enhance research facilities' efficiency and reliability.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Good Vibrations Vibration studies at CHESS Elizabeth Brost Mentor: Peter Revesz, Don Hartill CLASSE Physics REU June 18, 2009

  2. Outline • Goals • Experimental Setup • Preliminary results • Plans for the rest of the summer

  3. Goals • Study the vibrations in: • F-Cave, F3 hutch • Capillary puller • CESR components • Find out what’s causing the vibrations • Plan how to stop the vibrations

  4. Experimental Setup (F-Cave) me flow meter ¾” copper coil accelerometer coil #1 (in) water on/off coil #11 (out) (Sol Gruner’s design for the experimental setup)

  5. Piezoelectric Accelerometer Voltage Mass Piezoelectric cantilever G

  6. Collecting Data Amplifier 10V/g ADC Accelerometer Water flow Laptop

  7. Software • Windowing: Blackman • Sample frequency: 2500 Hz • 8192 samples • Range: 0 - 400 Hz • Amplifier gain: 1000 • Performs FFT! (Software deigned by Peter Revesz)

  8. A little bit of Digital Signal Processing V(t) FFT V(f) 105Hz sine wave from a function generator V(t) V(f) g(f) A(f) g(f) = C*V(f) (C = 9.9 V/g) A(f) = - (1/ω2)g(f) (ω = 2πf)

  9. Preliminary Results concrete floor vs. input coil

  10. Preliminary Results input coil – water on vs. water off

  11. Preliminary Results input coil vs. output coil water out water in

  12. Conclusions • Water flow in the cooling coils is a significant source of vibrations, especially at low frequencies • Constraining the coils helps to get rid of some low-frequency vibrations

  13. Plans for the rest of the summer • Continue vibration studies in the F-cave and in other areas of CHESS • Identify the source of the vibrations • Stop the vibrations!!
