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 ...

Many industries in the last decade successfully implemented finite-element analysis as a tool for product development. The success of FEA is now being followed by more widely used motion-analysis ...

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 ...

Random vibration testing provides energy simultaneously at all frequencies. Vibration testing can help ensure that your new design will survive its intended environment. The problem is knowing how ...

Vibration analysis is a powerful and non-invasive way to measure, understand, and quantify the internal dynamics of mechanical systems, but the cost of the necessary instrumentation is sometimes a ...

Jet engine vibration is arguably the worst enemy of a typical aircraft maintenance team. Parts which are out of balance can eventually result in a cracked turbine, fan, and compressor components, as ...
