Machinery Vibration: Measurement and Analysis by Victor Wowk

Machinery Vibration: Measurement and Analysis by Victor Wowk

Ninety percent of all machine failures are signaled months, even years, in advance by changes in machine vibrations. Some future failures are even predictable upon initial start-up. By understanding a machine's vibration signature, you can diagnose, solve, and prevent problems, as well as reduce the cost of maintenance. Machinery Vibration: Measurement and Analysis will show you how to use state-of-the-art instrumentation, tranducers and fast Fourier transform (FT) spectrum analyzers-to monito machine conditions using the vibration signature. This expert sourcebook includes: Case histories that illustrate strategies for solving machinery problems-from unblanaces and misalignments to vortex flow and turbulence. A diagnostic chart for assessing the severity of vibration. An overview of technology used in 'trending' machine performance. Guidelines for setting up a vibration monitoring system. Many illustrations throughout the book. Whether you're a plant or mechanical engineer, maintenance engineer, facility manager, mechanic, or technician, this excellent book will enable you to troubleshoot mechanical problems and improve machinery performance.

"..intended as a companion text for students, technicians, and engineers involved in a vibration workshop. The author, Victor Wowk, achieves his goal and more. ...this book is well organized and easy to read; for someone seeking a good grounding in the basics of modern vibration measurement and analysis, this is well worth a week of after-hours reading."
