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 ...

Dynamic signal analyzers are increasingly used to evaluate frequency response, vibration, and acoustic behavior in both ...

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 ...

Vibration analysis is a powerful and non-invasive way to measure, understand, and quantify the internal dynamics of mechanical systems, but the cost of the necessary instrumentation is sometimes a ...

Digital condition monitoring is transforming hydropower O&M with AI-driven diagnostics, hybrid architectures, and predictive ...

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 ...
