Basic Vibration Measurements
(V&S 501)
- Overview for management and participants
- Approximate scheduling so managers can audit special topics
- Optional quiz for evaluation of attendee prior knowledge
- Classical sinusoidal vibration is never observed in service; yet it is a useful concept.
- Introduction: terminology, structural resonant behavior, passive and active isolation
- Sinusoidal vibration measurements: units, sensors, readouts, errors
- Calibration of sensors and systems; traceability (in USA courses this is to NIST)
- Spectrum analysis; changes in a machine’s “signature” can indicate trouble.
- Introduction to concept of modal test.
- Introduction to subject of spectrum analysis.
