Vibration Analysis of Pump Shaft Using Finite Element Analysis Software: A Review

Abstract

Rotating shaft and other components in pump system revolving at a speed close to the natural frequency of the system are unsafe because at natural frequency, the amplitude of vibration is highest and it generates the excessive stresses which can cause rotating components’ failure. The objective of the review paper is to study the vibration characteristics of pump shaft system of finite element method in software module. The knowledge about the natural frequencies for rotating component in pump system can help to avoid system failure by giving the safe operating speed range and condition monitoring of actual running condition. In the present work, finite element method has been used in vibration analysis of pump system.
