Practice of Vibration Measurement (PDF)

This technical book deals clearly with the construction and practical operation of vibration measurement systems. It describes the functioning of the entire measurement chain from the transducer to the evaluation and illustrates the interaction of the elements with numerous practical examples. A completely new focus is vibration analysis using MATLAB®.

Contents

Vibrations and their measurement - Measurement task and its realization - Vibrations in the time and frequency domain - Free vibrations - Forced vibrations - Vibration transducers - Displacement transducers - Fast transducers (vibration velocity transducers) - Acceleration transducers - Deformation transducers - Signal processing - MATLAB® and data formats, an introduction - Measuring with MATLAB® - Raspberry Pi as a measuring device - Methods and examples for signal analysis - Experimental modal analysis

The target groups

• Students with basic knowledge and young professionalswho want to solve their first practical measurement tasks independently
• Engineers and technicians in industrial practice who plan, perform and evaluate measurements
• Specialists for a part of the measurement chain and career changers who want to better understand the interaction within the measurement chain
