Abstract

Vertical pumps are often a matter as far as regards vibrations. Their design is very simple but often is cause of high level vibrations.

The only way to prevent this problem is to know the dynamic behaviour of the machine in design phase, by finite element method calculations.

We made such a study on an our pump. Many approximations were made and the model is somehow poor, nevertheless the results were encouraging.
