Vibration Diagnostics using case Studies
Vibration Diagnostics Using Case Studies (AVD)
This training course is an advanced level diagnostic course that teaches the use of experimental modal and operating deflection shape testing techniques to diagnose and solve vibration problems. The course presents digital signal analysis and advanced vibration control techniques, together with experimental modal and ODS, and contains information relative to equipment specific diagnostics. It is intended for higher level vibration analysts, reliability and maintenance professionals, structural engineers and machine designers.

Vibration Diagnostics Using Case Studies
Designed as a continuing education course for experienced vibration analysts (CAT II with appropriate experience, CAT III and CAT IV), reliability and maintenance professionals, structural engineers, and machine designers. This 4 ½ day course presents digital signal analysis and advanced vibration control techniques, together with natural frequency testing, experimental modal analysis (EMA) and operating deflection shape (ODS) testing. Numerous in-depth case studies involving many different machine types will be used to reinforce principles showing how all these techniques, along with video amplification and experimental stress analysis complement each other.
The course content is an accumulation of nearly 50 years of Bob Sayer’s experiences, including numerous studies that were done with the late Art Crawford. The Course currently includes 43 case studies. All Attendees will learn a wealth of information concerning equipment-specific diagnostics.
