Abstract
Scientific research is advancing rapidly in several fields including materials science, applied physics, life sciences, bio and nanotechnology. This research often brings with it specialist imaging requirements to resolve ever finer details over time. The equipment needed to perform this imaging is often very sensitive to vibration in addition to factors including acoustic coupling, electromagnetic, thermal and airflow effects. This paper discusses the application of end-to-end vibration engineering to address these low vibration challenges. Using measurement data from the site and surrogate locations combined with advanced simulations allows a deeper understanding of the specific project implications and reduces risk and cost. This paper also illustrates how Arup deployed such an integrated multidisciplinary approach to assess and control vibration at the planning and design stages and contributed to the delivery of some of the most advanced scientific and industrial low vibration environment facilities in the world.
