Webinar Session #1:

Tuesday, April 7 – 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CST

An Introduction to Vibration Analysis (Part 1) Vibration analysis starts with defining a series of potential faults. The series of faults are then logically sorted in a way that the analyst can eliminate unlikely faults from the pool. We eliminate faults with Confirming Evidence and/or Refuting Evidence. The Vibration Fault Periodic Table™ “Structure” and “Method” is defined in our first topic.

Learning Objectives:

• Basic Vibration Concepts
• "Logical Structure" with the Vibration Fault Periodic Table
• Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Process Overview

Webinar Session #2:

Thursday, April 9 – 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CST

An Introduction to Vibration Analysis (Part 2) The Basics of Vibration Analysis includes: Amplitude (How Much), Frequency (How Often), and Phase (a measure of Relative Motion). Part 2 will focus on Amplitude. Amplitude is a Severity parameter that can be defined as Displacement, Velocity, or Acceleration.

Learning Objectives: 

• How to choose Amplitude Parameters: Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
• Simple Vibration Monitoring and Trending Methods

Webinar Session #3:

Tuesday, April 14 – 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CST

An Introduction to Vibration Analysis (Part 3) The Basics of Vibration Analysis includes: Amplitude (How Much), Frequency (How Often), and Phase (a measure of Relative Motion). Part 3 will focus on converting the raw transducer Time Waveform into a Frequency Spectrum. Defining the Frequency Spectrum opens a whole new fault detection and analysis capability in on-line trending and monitoring.

Learning Objectives: 

• Time Based Measurements
• Frequency Bases Measurements
• Analysis Examples with the Vibration Fault Periodic Table
