The rapping system consists of a set of collecting electrodes hanging on a suspension bar and braced together in a brushing bar. The suspension and brushing bars are modeled using the rigid finite element method, while the collecting plates are modeled using the hybrid method. The method combines the rigid finite element method with the classical finite element method. As a result, the mass matrix is diagonal. Some results of numerical simulations concerning free vibrations of the collecting plates and the influence of the number of elements, into which the plate is divided, on the vibrations of the rapping system are presented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Modelling of systems of collecting electrodes of electrostatic precipitators by means of the rigid finite element method}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/84442/PDF/03_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10180-011-0002-x}, keywords={electrostatic precipitation, rigid finite element method, hybrid method, vibration analysis}, }
