A broad spectrum of equipment behavior is introduced through the study of four major operating parameters: vibration, noise, temperature, and lubrication. Emphasis is placed on measurement and analysis of data using diagnostic instrumentation and techniques found in modern process and manufacturing plants.
Learning Outcomes1Determine the equation of motion for a single degree of freedom vibrating system.
2Experimentally determine system vibration characteristics.
3Understand and apply the principles for condition-based maintenance to diagnose machinery problems.
4Develop and complete an open-ended diagnostics project.
