Solving structural vibration issues
Publications
-
A structure subjected to vibrational stresses can exhibit unexpected behaviour and may suffer rapid damage. For instance, some members far from the source of vibration may begin to vibrate significantly, a phenomenon known as resonance. When the vibration frequency of an external influence approaches the resonant frequency of the system under study—determined by the system's properties—it can lead to substantial displacements and even catastrophic structural failure.

15 Oct 2024All industriesIn Canada, September 30 marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a time to honour the missing children and survivors of residential schools as well as their families and communities. Commemorating this tragic period in our history is an essential step in the reconciliation process with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. Although companies have made progress in reconciling with Indigenous peoples, much work remains. How can we forge lasting relationships and partnerships to help build a better, fairer future for everyone? Mickel Robertson, Director of Economic and Strategic Affairs for the Innu Takuaikan Uashat Mak Mani-utenam community, and Charles Regimbald, BBA Sept-Îles Office Director, answer Sandrine Rastello's questions in this episode of The ingenuity effect.Companies as vehicles for reconciliation

06 Aug 2024Power and RenewablesMost North American hydroelectric power plants were built decades ago. The owners of these ageing structures are preparing their upgrade and contemplating what scope should be included. Turbine runners and guide vanes are normally included in the list of parts to replace since their hydraulic profile was designed long before digital tools were available. The same logic could extend to the stay vanes, but these are embedded in concrete and, when necessary, must be modified on site. Since this constraint brings additional complexity, what factors should be considered when deciding whether the stay vanes should be upgraded or not?Stay vanes refurbishment: factors to consider in decision making

08 Jan 2024Power and RenewablesAs a third-party, independent organization, BBA has established a high-voltage (HV) laboratory, designed to support manufacturers, electrical contractors and end-users with a wide range of qualification testing, type testing, acceptance testing, condition assessment and root cause failure or forensic analysis of electrical equipment. The BBA HV laboratory is optimized to perform design, production and qualification testing on low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) power cables, terminations or joints, switchgears, bushings, distribution transformers, live-line tools and other electrical equipment. Likewise, the HV lab supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for research and development, prototype and trial testing.Advanced HV-lab testing and condition assessments-
