Vibration and dynamics are common in everyday life, and the use of vibration measurements, tests, and analyses is becoming standard for various applications. Vibration Analysis, Instruments, and ...

There's typically no way around it. At some time during a motor's life, it is likely to experience high vibration levels. What's behind this maintenance phenomenon? The cause may be an electromagnetic ...

The last few years have shown progress in finite-element analysis intended for use by design engineers. Many programs that work with CAD provide several different types of analysis, and the range of ...

Part 1 of this series addressed the advantages and disadvantages of various vibration sensors; Part 2 examined signal conditioning and system hardware selection and configuration. I’ll wrap up by ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...

Applying vibration modelling in gas turbines to fault monitoring of the same equipment can assist maintenance planning and extend system life. Bearings are responsible for vibratory phenomena in gas ...
