Good litterture?

Good litterture?

Good litterture?

(OP)
Hi everyone!

I'm new to vibration analysis, and therefore I need som litterature on the field. I'm working with Condition Monitoring of subsea pumps. It seems to me that:

Harris' Shock and Vibration Handbook (5th Edition)
Edited by: Harris C.M.; Piersol, A.G. © 2002 McGraw-Hill

is a solid and thorough book on the subject. Am I right. or should I go for another book?

Thanks for any help!

RE: Good litterture?

ANDRESEN:  

The book is okay, but I beleive you need information on Machinery Condition Analysis.  This is done by taking vibration readings on rotating equipment and comparing the results over time to find out when to overhaul the equipement.  I know there are courses out there that teach that and there are probably some books.  I suggest a web search for books and courses.  Hopefully you are working wiht an experienced engineer in MCA.  If so, use their knowledge, at least as a start.

Good Luck

RE: Good litterture?

For seminars on Condition Monitoring and Vibration analysis, the folks at Technical Associates put on a variety of courses: http://www.technicalassociates.net/

Here is a link to some books on condition monitoring and vibration analysis: http://www.reliabilitydirect.com/technicalbookproducts/bookindex.htm.

For interactive CD vibration training, the iLearnVibration series is quite good: http://www.reliabilitydirect.com/trainingproducts/ilearn_interactive.htm

Best forum I've found on vibration and condition monitoring is hosted by Reliability Magazine at: http://209.15.74.79/ubb2000/cgi/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro

Good luck to you.

Here you can find a free online copy of the book "Introduction to Machine Vibration" by Glenn White. Hard copies are also available. I refer to this book frequently even after 13 years in this field. There is also a glossary of vibration anlysis terms.

RE: Good litterture?

intro to machinery analysis and monitoring by John S. Mitchell; the simplified handbook of vibration analysis vol's 1&2 by Art Crawford; seminars by TA, the Vibration Institute, and many, many credible others out there found by web search vibration analysis training.

RE: Good litterture?

you might want to try books listed or recommended on the Vibration Institute's website.  Two i can recommend are Charles Jackson's "Pratical vibration Primer" and Taylor's "Vibration Analysis Handbook"

RE: Good litterture?

Try www.vibronurse.com that takes a light hearted look at the problem, and has a good downloads section that you may find of interest.

Cheers John

RE: Good litterture?

One book I can recommend is "Vibration Spectrum Analysis" by Steve Goldman published by Industrial Press.

Good Luck!
