Machinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance 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 is 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 also covers the other techniques of predictive maintenance such as oil and particle analysis, ultrasound and infrared thermography. The latest approaches and equipment used together with the latest techniques in vibration analysis emerging from current research are also highlighted. Understand the basics of vibration measurement Apply vibration analysis for different machinery faults Diagnose machinery-related problems with vibration analysis techniques

Mechanical Vibrations and Condition Monitoring presents 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 machinery Defines the key concepts related to mechanical vibration and its application for predicting mechanical failure Describes the dynamic behavior of most important mechanical components found in industrial machinery Explains fundamental concepts such as signal analysis and the Fourier transform necessary to understand mechanical vibration Provides analysis of most sources of failure in mechanical systems, affording an introduction to more complex signal analysis

Health care costs have dramatically risen over the last 10 years and there are persistent requests by administrators and government officials to keep these costs under control. As the overall health care costs have risen, there has been increasing demand to keep facilities costs low. The United States Air Force (USAF) Medical Service is suffering from reductions of funds and maintenance personnel for their facilities. Some military administrators have found it necessary to divert funds from maintenance to support other programs. To ensure the reliability of our mechanical systems for climate control and a quality indoor environment, the USAF medical service must make a paradigm shift in its maintenance strategy. This report addresses the feasibility of using vibration monitoring as a predictive maintenance tool to assess the condition of equipment, develop new preventive maintenance plans and reduce the number of breakdowns that impact operation of facilities.

This book shows how condition monitoring can be applied to detect internal degradation in pumps so that appropriate maintenance can be decided upon based on actual condition rather than arbitrary time scales. The book focuses on the main condition monitoring techniques particularly relevant to pumps (vibration analysis, performance analysis). The philosophy of condition monitoring is briefly summarised and field examples show how condition monitoring is applied to detect internal degration in pumps. * The first book devoted to condition monitoring and predictive maintenance in pumps. * Explains how to minimise energy costs, limit overhauls and reduce maintenance expenditure.* Includes material not found anywhere else.

In order to identify unusual vibration occurrences and assess the general health of the test object, vibration analysis is a procedure that tracks vibration levels and looks into the patterns in vibration signals within a component, piece of equipment, or building. It is frequently conducted on both the frequency spectrum, which is derived by applying Fourier Transform to the time waveform, as well as the time waveforms of the vibration signal directly. Mechanical vibration Analysis should present 50% of any condition monitoring program. This book include a practical guide to vibration analysis to prepare practitioners for levels I II & III to become certified analyst. Numerous examples with photos are included to present how to detect different types of equipment and assets failure include: bearing, shafts misalignment, unbalance, rotor problems, electric motors and more using spectrum analysis technique.
