Assistance if you please
(OP)
I just took a job in a nuclear power plant as a systems engineer. I will be focusing on vibrational analysis of turbines. I am fresh out of school so I have only a little internship experience. Does anyone have any suggestions for some books or reference material that I should look at so I can be better prepared?

One other thing to look at is the alignment and setup of turbines and other equipment to allow for thermal growth, i.e. hot alignment etc.
