Mechanical Engineering

Advanced Troubleshooting of Rotating Equipment

Introduction

This Course for industry aims to convey the latest thinking and best practice of machinery vibration monitoring and analysis via lectures, case studies, video files, and friendly software and course activities. The course gives a detailed advanced treatment of the detection, location, and diagnosis of faults in rotating and reciprocating machinery, using vibration analysis. Industrial case study examples are used throughout the course to emphasize key points and to underline the relevance and applicability of the topics being addressed.

The course will provide refreshment of knowledge for existing condition monitoring practitioners, and it will provide a solid foundation for technologists moving into a machine monitoring and diagnostic role.
