Experiences with flow-induced vibrations
Difficulties encountered in U S Bureau of Reclamation structures because of flow-induced vibrations show that similar problems can occur elsewhere and that measures can be taken to avoid or control them; vibrations interfered with operation and caused structural damage in several radial gates in canals because of control shifting from flexible bottom seals to backing plates and back again; it was eliminated by redesigning seals to produce positive spring point; measures of elimination of problems caused by vibrations in hydroelectric plants, pumping plants and pipe line distribution systems are indicated.
