To reduce the time needed for solving pipe vibration problems, a holistic study of the field of pipe vibrations was performed in this project. The report was constructed as a handbook for solving pipe vibration problems, which can be used without expertise in the area. In addition, DIAM-Matrix tool (Detection, Investigation, Analysis and Mitigation) was developed to simplify the troubleshooting.
A systematic approach was developed to simplify the process. This was realized with DIAM-Matrix tool (Detection, Investigation, Analysis and Mitigation) which requires only marking of detections of continuous monitoring and findings of investigation of the system. The matrix tool guides the user through the process and recommends following actions.
Based on the investigation findings the matrices suggest useful analysis methods and possible mitigation methods for the vibration problem.
