Tuned Vibration Absorber DisplayProject Overview Team P18310

Team: Nathan Ehnot (ME), Connor Jensen (ME), Steve Giordano (EE), Kyle Kelly (EE), Shayne Hollands (ME), Malik Wallace (CE)Guide: Gary Werth

LORD Corporation manufactures Tuned Vibration Absorbers (TVAs) for a variety of different industries. TVAs decrease wear and tear on machine components by reducing vibrations.

The project objective is to develop and build a trade show display to demonstrate TVA technology. The final product will be used to market LORD Corporation's TVA devices to their potential customers. The duel systems highlight the difference a TVA can make on a vibrating machine.
