Vibration Problems in Machines

This book explains how to infer information about the internal operations of rotating machines from external measurements. It examines vibration signals arising under rotor imbalance, misalignment, cracked rotors, gear wear, whirling instabilities, and other problems. Covering a wide range of techniques required in the monitoring, analysis, and diagnosis of operational rotating machinery, the book includes case studies with real plant data, MATLAB® scripts and functions for the modelling and analysis of rotating machines, end-of-chapter questions, and a solutions manual with qualifying course adoption.
