The Simplified Handbook of Vibration Analysis series explains how to determine the health of rotating/reciprocating machinery by analyzing vibration signatures. Written in a non-technical, easy-to-follow manner, these books emphasize practical experience and real-world problem solving.
Although some mathematical equations are included in the text, a background in physics or mathematics is not necessary. The emphasis is on how to measure and resolve vibration, not on why the vibrations behave the way they do. These text will be an invaluable resource for any maintenance personnel responsible for machinery vibration analysis.
Volume 1 begins by discussing how mechanical systems vibrate in response to forcing functions. This leads to a discussion of vector representation of force, creating a foundation for the analysis techniques discussed later in the handbook. The various types of transducers that can be used to collect vibrtion data re explained in detail, along with strength and weaknesses of each type. A chapter on General Analysis Techniques discusses the vibration analysis procedure itself, offering many useful hints on identifying the types of vibration that could be present in your machine. Finally, chapters on Phase, Field Balancing, and Shat Alignment apply the analysis procedure to balancing rotors in the fields and to aligning coupled shafts.
