Maintenance of their high efficiency depends primarily on periodical cleaning of the collecting electrodes (CEs). Dust removal (regeneration of CEs) is realized by inducing periodical vibrations of the electrodes. The paper presents results of vibration modelling of a system of CEs; the results were obtained by means of the finite element method, the hybrid finite element method, the finite strip method and a model formulated using Abaqus. Numerical results are compared with those obtained from experimental measurements. Conclusions concerning numerical effectiveness and exactness of the methods are formulated and reasons for differences are discussed.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Comparison of methods for modelling vibrations of collecting electrodes in dry electrostatic precipitators}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/84776/PDF/09_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/meceng-2013-0027}, keywords={finite element method, vibration analysis, experimental verification}, }
