From Vibration Measurements to Condition Based Maintenance: Seventy Years of Continuous Progress From: Sound and Vibration | Date: January 1, 2007| Author: Mitchell, John S | Copyright Acoustical Publications, Inc. Jan 2007. Provided by ProQuest LLC.Copyright information

Over the last seventy or so years, dramatic improvements have occurred in the technology, equipment and practice used for machinery vibration measurement, condition monitoring and analysis. From mechanical instruments that might capture a simple, low frequency vibration waveform to today's high performance digital instrumentation, detailed fluid chemistry and oil debris analysis, motor current and circuit analysis, ultrasonics and thermography, the change has been striking - especially over t...
