Coxmoor Publishing Company has published Vibration, the first in the Machine and Systems Conditioning Monitoring Series. These books introduce the many disciplines of condition monitoring, one of which vibration monitoring is of special interest to engineers and diagnostic and maintenance professionals in the engineering industry.
Vibration monitoring is widely used as one of a number of online techniques used to show malfunction, or deterioration, in machine operation. These techniques can be used to assess the need, if any, for corrective action and can lead to improved safety and cost savings.
The book sets out the basic concepts of vibration and vibration measurement as appropriate to rotating and reciprocating machinery and is based on user experience. It has been prepared with the object of setting down good practices in the field of vibration monitoring. Differences do exist in the level of application of this technique within the engineering industry, and it is hoped that this book will not only encourage its further application, but also improve existing practices.
