AIV Mitigation Considerations (By Ian Goble, WKC Group) The final step in an Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV) assessment is the implementation of mitigation measures at locations with Likelihood of Failure (LOF) values of between [...]

Flow Induced Vibration – Diagnosis, Prognosis, Treatment (By Wade Draper, WKC Group) Introduction to Quantitative FIV Main Line Analysis Any structural system will exhibit a series of natural frequencies which depend on the distribution [...]

Differences between AIV and FIV (by Richard Palmer, WKC Group) Every object/substance, has a natural frequency at which it is "willing" to vibrate. When an external agent applies a forced vibration that matches this [...]

Drilling down into piping fatigue: Acoustic and Flow Induced Vibration (by Richard Palmer, Service Lead at WKC) In industrial environments, failures of piping components can lead to unsafe operation, environmental damage, and [...]
