The GUNT Vibrating Piles (HM 160.61) are designed to study the effects of flowing water on piles, such as those used in jetties or drilling platforms. Water flow can induce vibrations, potentially leading to structural failure due to vortex shedding and resonance.
Product Features
- Vibrating pile trainer for HM 160 experimental flume

- Includes rods of different diameters for varied experiments
- Rods can be loaded with additional weights to study mass effects
- Demonstrates Karman vortex formation and its impact on pile vibration
- Fixed to flume bottom for stable and repeatable experiments
- Durable construction suitable for educational and research applications
Benefits
- Enables study of flow-induced vibrations and resonance in piles
- Supports hydraulic engineering education and research
- Allows hands-on analysis of vortex shedding and structural response
- Provides flexibility with rod diameters and additional masses
