Vibration

“Where vibrational loads have been reported, components subjected to high-frequency flow-induced vibration may be critical. The lower sill of tainter gates and valves, the apron assembly of roller gates, and the end shield of roller gates are examples. Furthermore, any location where previous damage (buckling, plastic deformation, cracking, extreme corrosion) has been reported should be considered critical.^[1]
