Understanding a piping system’s response to vibration is critical for safe operation. The goal of the project was to analytically and experimentally predict and mitigate piping systems responses to a vibration source. This was done by designing and testing different mitigation restraints for three tubing systems at low frequencies that are characteristic of mechanically induced vibration.
