Vibration Platform Machine

Whole Body Vibration Machines To Strenthen Your Muscle

Mechanical equipment for body building has been around for quite some time now. A recent entrant in this field is the Whole Body Vibration Machine (WBV). These machines employ low magnitude and low speed vibrations which are gentle in nature.

The principle of the WBV is that the body consists of billions of cells. These cells need individual bundles of energy steadily and on a continuous basis so that they can perform the tasks assigned to them. Normally it is not possible to ensure an equitable distribution of energy to each independent cell. There could be numerous reasons for this. Briefly expressed - our lifestyle prevents us from energizing our body and its individual cells constantly. This results in obesity. A well designed whole body vibration machine, on the other hand, ensures even distribution of energy throughout the body. The WBV therefore, is especially useful for people who are on the go.

Research on WBV

Research has been carried out on post menopausal women who naturally tend to develop osteoporosis. Research findings have confirmed that regular use of vibration platforms results in improved hip bone mass density besides muscle strength, both dynamic and isometric. The findings have therefore recommended the use of WBV for prevention of fractures and falls in respect of older women.

Advantages of WBV

- Brings about a strengthening of muscles, as much as 50% over 3 weeks.
- Combats osteoporosis and improves bone density.
- An improvement in coordination and the sense of balance.
- Reduction of pains in joints and back.
- Increases metabolic rate and reduces fat.
- Improvement in blood circulation and oxygen absorption.
- Reduction in cellulite.
- Reduction in blood pressure.
- A mood elevator. Creates a feeling of well being.
- Raises testosterone levels.

The Cost

The cost of a portable model WBV can very based on the features and the design complexity.

Contraindications

- Pregnant women.
- Those with medical restrictions.
- Those who have had surgery recently or implants in joint, foot, hip or knee.

DKN Technology Xg3 Series Whole Body Vibration Machine 31X33100 $3368.25 The Xg3 Vibration trainer is for personal WBV training at home. The Xg3 offers an integrated on screen coach and preset workout programs. The Platform produces a vibration through which energy is transferred from the platform to the body. By standing on the platform you will notice how your body automatically adjusts to the vibrations. This mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex which depending on the selected frequency results in muscles vigorously contacting 20 to 50 times a second. Exercise causes the body to tire; rest allows it to recover . By repeating this process the body adjusts to the level of effort resulting in an increase in physical performance. This phenomenon called super compensation similarly occurs when training on the platform. However compared with traditional training methods greater results are achieved in much less time.

Machine Vibration Analysis and Health Monitoring $106.74 This book describes a methodology for early fault detection and diagnostics in an ocean turbine using vibration analysis and Finite Element Modeling. This methodology relies on the use of advanced methods for machine vibration analysis and health monitoring. Because of some issues encountered with traditional methods such as Fourier analysis for non stationary rotating machines, the use of more advanced methods such as TimeFrequency Analysis is required. This book also includes the development of two LabVIEW models. The first model combines the advanced methods for online condition monitoring. The second model performs the modal analysis to find the resonance frequencies of the subsystems of the turbine. The dynamic modeling of the turbine using Finite Element Analysis is used to estimate the baseline of vibration signals in sensors locations under normal operating conditions of the turbine. All this information is necessary to perform the vibration condition monitoring of the machine.

Balancing Machine $86.03 A balancing machine is a measuring tool used for balancing rotating machine parts such as rotors for electric motors, fans, turbines, disc brakes, disc drives, propellers and pumps. The machine usually consists of two rigid pedestals, with suspension and bearings on top supporting a mounting platform. The unit under test is bolted to the platform and is rotated either with a belt, air, or enddrive. As the part is rotated, the vibration in the suspension is detected with sensors and that information is used to determine the amount of unbalance in the part. Along with phase information, the machine can determine how much and where to add weights to balance the part.

Ambient Vibration Monitoring $170 In-operation vibration monitoring for complex mechanical structures and rotating machines is of key importance in many industrial areas such as aeronautics (wings and other structures subject to strength), automobile (gearbox mounting with a sports car body), rail transportation, power engineering (rotating machines, core and pipes of nuclear power plants), and civil engineering (large buildings subject to hurricanes or earthquakes, bridges, dams, offshore structures). Tools for the detection and the diagnosis of small changes in vibratory characteristics are particularly useful to set up a preventive maintenance policy based on the actual evolution of the state of the monitored machine or structure, as opposed to systematic a priori planning. Ambient Vibration Monitoring is the backbone of such structural assessment monitoring and control. It provides the possibility to gain useful data under ambient conditions for the assessment of structures and components. Written by a widely respected authority in this area, Ambient Vibration Monitoring describes the current practice of ambient vibration methodologies illustrated by a number of practical examples.  Designed to aid the practical engineer with their understanding of the topic, it is the culmination of many years of practical research and includes numerous ‘real world’ examples.  It also provides information on applicable solutions. This book will enable not only practitioners (in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering), but also researchers and students, to learn more about the theory and practical applications of this subject.

Vibration Problems in Engineering $38.36 VIBRATION PROBLEMS IN ENGINEERING BY S. TIMOSHENKO Professor of Theoretical and Engineering Mechanics Stanford University SECOND EDITIONFIFTH PRINTING NEW YORK D. VAN NOSTRAND COMPANY, INC. 250 FOURTH AVENUE PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION In the preparation of the manuscript for the second edition of the book, the authors desire was not only to bring the book up to date by including some new material but also to make it more suitable for teaching purposes. With this in view, the first part of the book was entirely re written and considerably enlarged. A number of examples and problems with solutions or with answers were included, and in many places new material was added. The principal additions are as follows In the first chapter a discussion of forced vibration with damping not proportional to velocity is included, and an article on self-excited vibration. In the chapter on non-linear sys tems an article on the method of successive approximations is added and it is shown how the method can be used in discussing free and forced vibra tions of systems with non-linear characteristics. The third chapter is made more complete by including in it a general discussion of the equation of vibratory motion of systems with variable spring characteristics. The fourth chapter, dealing with systems having several degrees of freedom, is also Considerably enlarged by adding a general discussion of systems with viscous damping an article on stability of motion with an application in studying vibration of a governor of a steam engine an article on whirling of a rotating shaft due to hysteresis and an article on the theory of damp ing vibration absorbers. There are also several additions in the chapter ontorsional and lateral vibrations of shafts. The author takes this opportunity to thank his friends who assisted in various ways in the preparation of the manuscript and particularly Professor L. S. Jacobsen, who read over the complete manuscript and made many valuable suggestions, and Dr. J. A. Wojtaszak, who checked prob lems of the first chapter. STEPHEN TIMOSHENKO STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 29, 1937 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION With the increase of size and velocity in modern machines, the analysis of vibration problems becomes more and more important in mechanical engineering design. It is well known that problems of great practical significance, such as the balancing of machines, the torsional vibration of shafts and of geared systems, the vibrations of turbine blades and turbine discs, the whirling of rotating shafts, the vibrations of railway track and bridges under the action of rolling loads, the vibration of foundations, can be thoroughly understood only on the basis of the theory of vibration. Only by using this theory can the most favorable design proportions be found which will remove the working conditions of the machine as far as possible from the critical conditions at which heavy vibrations may occur. In the present book, the fundamentals of the theo

LifeSpan Fitness VP1000 Vibration Trainer $1169.99 Enjoy the benefits of whole body vibration using the LifeSpan VP1000 Vibration Plate. Its dualmotion design encompasses an up/down pivoting system and a secondary front/back pivot. The result is a multidimensional platform movement that enhances the benefits you ll receive from whole body vibration including improved muscle strength balance and flexibility. In addition to standing in an upright position there are many other uses of the vibration plate to increase your physical activity and improve your strength including calf stretches lunges squats pushups situp twists and tricep dips. Assembly is required. Whole body vibration is achieved by being on a platform that vibrates at a high frequency causing your muscles to contract and stretch to maintain balance without your brain being actively involved. The rapid involuntary reflex intensifies even the simplest exercises. This fast repetition of your muscles reacting along with the controlled low impact to the bones creates the growth and strength. The primary use of a vibration plate requires that you simply stand on the vibration plate in proper position while the vibration plate moves. Duration and frequency are important elements to consider in using a vibration plate. If you re physically fit vibration exercise sessions should last no more than 15 minutes. If you re just beginning an exercise program limit your time to 10 minutes per session. Whole body vibration should be used 23 times a week to supplement your cardiovascular workouts with adequate time inbetween sessions to recuperate.

Predictive Maintenance Using Vibration Analysis $93.99 Any machine that is used in an industry must have a proper maintenance schedule that should be followed in order to prolong the life of the machine and to avoid unscheduled failures or shutdowns, Predictive Maintenance is a technique by which we can effectively reduce the machine failures and shutdown by predicting its maintenance before its breakdown. There are many techniques which are used for predictive maintenance of machines like tribology, ultrasonic monitoring, thermography and vibration analysis. The technique that we are using is vibration analysis which uses the vibration data from different machines with the help of vibration analyzer and plots the time waveform and spectrum diagrams (amplitude vs. frequency plots), from there we can infer that the machine is operating in its recommended conditions i.e. it is not vibrating unnecessarily in any direction. Then if the machine is vibrating excessively in any direction that could lead to its failure we can damp its vibration by means of damperspring combination.
