In a single useful volume Vibration Fundamentals explains the basic theoryapplications and benefits of vibration analysis which is the dominantpredictive maintenance technique used with maintenance management programs.All mechanical equipment in motion generates a vibration profile or signaturethat reflects its operating condition. This is true regardless of speed orwhether the mode of operation is rotation reciprocation or linear motion.There are several predictive maintenance techniques used to monitor and analyzecritical machines equipment and systems in a typical plant. These includevibration analysis ultrasonics thermography tribology process monitoringvisual inspection and other nondestructive analysis techniques. Of thesetechniques vibration analysis is the dominant predictive maintenance techniqueused with maintenance management programs and this book explains the basictheory applications and benefits in one easytoabsorb volume that plantstaff will find invaluable.This is the second book in a new series published by ButterworthHeinemann inassociation with PLANT ENGINEERING magazine. PLANT ENGINEERING fills a uniqueinformation need for the men and women who operate and maintain industrialplants. It bridges the information gap between engineering education andpractical application. As technology advances at increasingly faster ratesthis information service is becoming more and more important. Since its firstissue in 1947 PLANT ENGINEERING has stood as the leading problemsolvinginformation source for Americas industrial plant engineers and this bookseries will effectively contribute to that resource and reputation.Provides information essential to industrial troubleshooting investigationsDescribes rootcause failure analysisIncorporates detailed equipmentdesign guidelines «
