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 ...

Vibration monitoring and other high-end measurement technologies can solve equipment health challenges that are shaking up the engineering world. Beyond constant change from advances in Industrial ...

An integrated drill string-reamer dynamics model incorporating full-wellbore mechanics was established to characterize Reaming While Drilling vibration mechanisms. The model integrates multi-body ...

In many domains, such as ground, naval or air transportation, structural vibrations are closely related to mechanical reliability and noise sources. Vibrations can be generated by different excitation ...

What is predictive maintenance (PdM)? It’s the application of instrumentation and intelligence to help determine the condition of equipment and whether maintenance should be performed to avoid ...

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 ...

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 ...
