Practical Machinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance (Practical Professional) by Cornelius Scheffer Ph.D MEng , Paresh Girdhar B.Eng (MechEng)
Do you like this story?
This practical book provides a detailed examination of the detection, location and diagnosis of faults in
rotating and reciprocating machinery using vibration analysis. The basics and underlying physics of
vibration signals are first examined. The acquisition and processing of signals are then reviewed
followed by a discussion of machinery fault diagnosis using vibration analysis. Hereafter the important
issue of rectifying faults that have been identified using vibration analysis is covered. The book is
concluded by a review of the other techniques of predictive maintenance such as oil and particle
analysis, ultrasound and infrared thermography. The latest approaches and equipment used together
with current research techniques in vibration analysis are also highlighted in the text.
We would hope that you will gain the following from this book:
• An understanding of the basics of vibration measurement
• The basics of signal analysis
• Understanding the measurement procedures and the characteristics of vibration signals
• Ability to use Data Acquisition equipment for vibration signals
• How to apply vibration analysis for different machinery faults
• How to apply specific techniques for pumps, compressors, engines, turbines and motors
• How to apply vibration based fault detection and diagnostic techniques
• The ability to diagnose simple machinery related problems with vibration analysis
techniques
• How to apply advanced signal processing techniques and tools to vibration analysis
• How to detect, locate and diagnose faults in rotating and reciprocating machinery using
vibration analysis techniques
• Ability to identify conditions of resonance and be able to rectify these problems
• How to apply basic allied predictive techniques such as oil analysis, thermography,
ultrasonics and performance evaluation.
Typical people who will find this book useful include:
• Instrumentation & Control Engineers
• Maintenance Engineers
• Mechanical Engineers & Technicians
• Control Technicians
• Electrical Engineers
• Electricians
• Maintenance Engineers & Technicians
• Process Engineers
• Consulting Engineers
• Automation Engineers
