Design & Engineering Services
Technical understanding of existing vibration, noise, acoustic or shock
problems and how those problems relate to machine or structural
performance is key to an organization's bottom line. Our technical experts
provide that intrinsic "we understand" capability that leads to uncommon
discoveries in problem solving. In addition to our own technical team, we
also have a strategic alliance for research and development with Mechartes
Researchers - a leading engineering services consultancy promoted and
based at the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi. We strive to bring
the best technology available right at your doorstep!
Our Engineering Services include
Software Development for Customized Vibration Application - We develop
software customized for specific client applications which automate the
process of vibration analysis and choosing of appropriate vibration
isolator/damper. Various standards and design codes are implemented in the
software to increase their utility. The software is developed with an
advanced graphics interface to make sure of usability.
Design of Vibration Isolators for Structures and Heavy Machinery - Many
machine tools and mechanical equipment have dynamic deflection and
stiffness requirements for their support foundations and/or structures.
Our Civil and Structural Engineers design to frequency and stiffness
specifications associated with the payload and stiffness requirements of
the isolation system. We conduct modal analysis of various sub-components
in the system using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), choosing appropriate
mounting points, suitable foundation and appropriate isolators. We
specialize in design of vibration isolation systems and foundation
isolation beds for heavy industrial equipment including turbo generators,
stamping presses, forging hammers, fans and blowers.
Design of Shock Mounts for Equipments and Structures - This would include
conducting transient shock wave analysis using nonlinear FEA. Then
understanding the system requirement and what kind of damping is required
in the system (for example if electronic equipments are to be protected
then high damping requirements is a possibility). Then designing damping
system for various axis of vibration and finally analyzing the response
after the dampers are installed.
Design of Foundations for Buildings to Improve Resistance to Earthquakes - We have seismic experts in our team who provide us with appropriate
theoretical model to simulate shock vibrations for earth quakes in various
seismic zones. These models are used for designing appropriate foundation
and isolators/dampers in buildings based on building shape, size and
structure. KIC’s expertise includes the design of rigid concrete masses
and structural steel forms, which are often an integral part of an
isolation system design.
Wind Load Analysis - In regions with high wind velocity (usually costal
areas) vibrations are induced in building due to the wind load. We use
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate these wind loads and then
come up with appropriate isolators/dampers minimize the vibration damage
to the buildings.
