Mechanical & Utility EngineeringIntroduction
This course 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. The course is concluded by a review of the other techniques of predictive maintenance such as oil and particle analysis, ultrasound and infrared thermography with an introduction to automated machine condition monitoring.
