1. Basic Concepts Fundamentals of Vibrations.

. Definition Oscillatory Motion, Periodic and Non-Periodic Time and Frequency Domain Representation Parameters of Vibrations Amplitude, Frequency and Phase Vibration Measurement Units Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration Degrees of Freedom Introduction to Torsional and Lateral vibrations Casing vs Relative Shaft Vibration Measurements (Use or accelerometers or proximity probes) Time Waveform, Spectrum and Orbits Force Response Analysis Introduction to Resonance Frequencies and Critical Speeds. Force generation Mechanical induce forces (Unbalance, Misalignment, Impulsive Forces) Electrical induce forces (Rotor Bar Defects, 2x Line Frequency Problems) Fluid\Gas Dynamic induce forces (Pressure Pulsations, Recirculation and cut water frequency) Flexible and Rigid rotors and structures. Transfer function tests for resonance frequencies - flexible structures and rigid damped foundations.
