| Objective: This course enables you to better understand vibration principles and techniques as it adds toyour practical knowledge of machines. The application of these principles will help you be better able to think through vibration problems. This course is designed to provide theory, techniques, and procedures as well as practical case histories to illustrate ways of analyzing various types of equipment vibrations. Hands-on demonstration and workshops help you learn the methods used in solving vibration problems. Also, this class will help to prepare you for the Vibration Institute's certification examination for Category III Vibration Analyst.
Topics:
- Advanced vibration concepts
- Single-plan balancing
- Use of FFT analyzers and data collections
