Vibration analysis of a hydraulic cylinder – a review

  Khodu Dhameliya,  Utpal Shah,  Ishankumar Upadhyay

Hydraulic cylinders are one of the most important components of the hydraulic systems used in a different industrial application. Design of a hydraulic cylinder consists of a different loading and boundary conditions. Vibration of the cylinder during working condition is one of the most crucial elements of the failure criterion .This paper deals with the vibration analysis of the hydraulic cylinder under variable loading application and different boundary conditions. The main cause of the vibration in hydraulic cylinder is stick-slip phenomenon between piston and cylinder which is also responsible for the failure of a sealing material and reduces the fatigue life as well the performance of the hydraulic system. vibration analysis can be done by static, dynamic and transient way. The Mode Superposition Method of a transient dynamic analysis is one of the most important methods to predict mode shapes.
