High end modular construction from Yorkon, Portakabin
The highly versatile and modular construction solution, Yorkon, was developed and is used by Portakabin to create award winning offices, school buildings and hospitals. However, it was recognised at the early stages of design that…
Design Verification Tests on Airplane Test Facility
Full Scale Dynamics were contacted to assist with confirming the as-built properties of a dummy rudder test rig. Various steel plates had been designed to change the moment of inertia of the rotating dummy rudder…
Active Mass Dampers for a Concert Hall
A repurposed 45m long spanning floor of a concert hall was found to be particularly prone to excessive vibrations during some music events and these were resulting in significant complaints from a nearby attached restaurant.…
Dynamics Testing of a Newly Constructed Football Stadium
Full Scale Dynamics were commissioned to perform dynamics testing as part of validating the design of a newly constructed football stadium in England. This was needed to check natural frequencies of the as-built structural properties…
Vibration Monitoring on a Telecommunications Mast
Concerns had been raised about the large amplitude vibrations that had been observed during high winds on a guyed steel lattice mast used to transmit telecommunications in a remote location in Wales. A Tuned Mass…
Vibration Simulations and Tuned Mass Damper Design for Castle Bridge, Bristol
Castle Bridge is a contemporary and slender S shaped footbridge linking Finzels Reach with Bristol city centre. Full Scale Dynamics were contacted by CTS Bridges at the design stage to perform a vibration serviceability assessment…
