Mechanical Vibrations and Condition Monitoringpresents a collection of data and insights on the study of mechanical vibrations for the predictive maintenance of machinery. Seven chapters cover the foundations of mechanical vibrations, spectrum analysis, instruments, causes and effects of vibration, alignment and balancing methods, practical cases, and guidelines for the implementation of a predictive maintenance program. Readers will be able to use the book to make predictive maintenance decisions based on vibration analysis. This title will be useful to senior engineers and technicians looking for practical solutions to predictive maintenance problems. However, the book will also be useful to technicians looking to ground maintenance observations and decisions in the vibratory behavior of machine components. Presents data and insights into mechanical vibrations in condition monitoring and the predictive maintenance of industrial machineryDefines the key concepts related to mechanical vibration and its application for predicting mechanical failureDescribes the dynamic behavior of most important mechanical components found in industrial machineryExplains fundamental concepts such as signal analysis and the Fourier transform necessary to understand mechanical vibrationProvides analysis of most sources of failure in mechanical systems, affording an introduction to more complex signal analysis | Mechanical Vibrations and Condition Monitoring by J C Jauregui, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
