Whether operating under harsh or mild external conditions, environmental surroundings can put a great deal of stress on the ...

Jet engine vibration is arguably the worst enemy of a typical aircraft maintenance team. Parts which are out of balance can eventually result in a cracked turbine, fan, and compressor components, as ...

To explore how this integrated approach is reshaping condition monitoring, we spoke with Hari Viswanathan, Senior Director of ...

When fully utilized, condition monitoring can transform how power plants operate and maintain their assets. It can lead to increased efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, improved safety, and better ...

Vibration analysis of the classical elastic structures is not only essential for the study of vibration reduction by predicting the dynamic behavior, but also important to ensure a reliable, safe, and ...

Aircraft structures are prone to vibrations due to their lightweight construction. In most cases, these vibrations are not critical. They decay due to damping effects from aerodynamic forces and ...

Part 1 of this series addressed the advantages and disadvantages of various vibration sensors; Part 2 examined signal conditioning and system hardware selection and configuration. I’ll wrap up by ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...
