Basic Course

Courses in basic vibrations are intended to supplement limited exposure to vibrations in most undergraduate engineering curriculums. These courses are also intended to provide training in fundamentals for vibration technicians, mechanics, and plant operators.

Objectives include:

  • Be conversant with terms such as free and forced vibration, resonance, stiffness, damping, inertia.

  • Select, install, and operate basic vibration instrumentation.

  • Review and understand vibration data in both the time and frequency domain.

  • Understand basic machine faults and means of diagnosis.

  • Be familiar with vibration standards and limits for a variety of machines.

  • Be able to troubleshoot basic vibration problems.

Advanced Course

Objectives include:

  • Perform modal analysis, review operating deflected shape plots.

  • Troubleshoot complex vibration problems.
