Vibration testing and analysis. This has been referred to in a number of different ways, most of which are not meant to be complimentary. Voodoo box, black magic, rocket scientist stuff, etc. It is an ...

The last few years have shown progress in finite-element analysis intended for use by design engineers. Many programs that work with CAD provide several different types of analysis, and the range of ...

Many readers probably think “black magic” describes the math involved in finding the dynamic response of a structure from random excitation. When can you be sure you have jumped through all the ...

Photonic integrated circuits are revolutionizing sensing and measurement, enhancing FMCW LiDAR and vibrometry with precision, ...

We present an exact method to model the free vibration of functionally graded carbon-nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) beams with arbitrary boundary conditions based on first-order shear ...

Discover how PBS eXpress is transforming engine vibration analysis with advanced features designed for efficiency and precision in turbine maintenance. The PBS eXpress system was heavily influenced by ...

Machinery accounts for a substantial share of capital spend in most manufacturing environments. Rotating equipment makes up a huge part of this – pumps, compressors, fans, turbines and gearboxes all ...

How do you use vibration analysis in your maintenance shop? The answer from the typical shop would be something like: “We check motors during a PM to see if they have balance issues.” That’s typically ...
