This course is recommended for individuals with five or more years' experience and prepares attendees to solve difficult vibration problems including isolation, damping and balancing techniques. We recommend that attendees participate in this course or Rotor Dynamics (RD) course in addition to the Advanced Vibration Analysis (AVA) course. All Vibration Institute instructors are Category IV certified and experienced vibration analysts. Course Instructors are subject to change with notice.

ADVANCED VIBRATION CONTROL (AVC)

Isolation, Damping, and Balancing Techniques

Participants in the Advanced Vibration Control training course are provided class notes, a workbook containing problems and exercises, and balancing tools. Workshops are scheduled to illustrate theory and applications. 

This course provides preparation for solving vibration problems.  It is recommended that attendees participate in this course or the Rotor Dynamics (RD) course in addition to the Advanced Vibration Analysis (AVA) course as partial preparation for the certification examination for Vibration Analyst Category IV.

DAY ONE

  • Transient Vibrations
  • Damped and undamped free vibrations, impact testing, log decrement calculation, and natural frequency calculation
  • Workshop I: Transient Vibrations
  • Forced Vibrations
  • Constant and unbalanced forced response, damping analysis, base motion response,critical speeds, modes, mass unbalance response, rotor bow, gyroscopic effects, torque effects, support and rotor stiffness asymmetry, cracked rotor, oil whirl/whip, hysteresis, and trapped fluid
  • Workshop II: Forced Vibrations

DAY TWO

  • Vibration Control Methods
  • Isolation, tuning, damping, isolator selection, dynamic absorber design, and case histories
  • Workshop III: Vibration Control
  • Understanding Journal Bearings
  • Advantages, lubrication basics, materials, design, and types
  • Workshop IV: Journal Bearings

DAY THREE

  • A Machinery User’s Guide to Practical Lateral Rotor Dynamics
  • Simple models, modal mass, mode shapes, critical speed map, geometry effects, unbalance response, and stability analysis
  • Field and Shop Balancing Techniques
  • Techniques, strategy, transient testing, influence coefficient and static/couple methods, shop balancing, and balancing limits
  • Workshop V: Balancing Exercises
  • Participants are welcome to bring their data collectors or use equipment provided by the Institute.

DAY FOUR

  • Rotor Dynamics: A Tool for Solving Vibration Problems
  • Basic case, bearing clearance, load-bearing unbalance response and stability
  • Case Histories: Rotor Dynamics
  • Workshop VI
  • Review
  • Training Examination on Course Content (2 hours)

Upon receipt of your registration you will receive a confirmation letter with additional information regarding your specific training course. 

All Vibration Institute instructors are Category IV certified and experienced vibration analysts.  Course Instructors are subject to change without prior notification.
