Vibration Engineer 6

What books do you recommend for a mechanical engineer who is new in the field of vibration?

 

Hi,
Anybody can help me in finding the professionals/Companies at Canada involved in Vibration Analysis and Balancing Of Turbomachinery.
Secondly name the institution that offer Certification in vibration specialist level 1 in Canada.
Thirdly also advise me about Masters Program and university.
I appreciate your acknowledgement, its an urgent.

Thanks
Kashif

Anyone aware of websites or books for understanding vibration analysis in shell and tube exchangers?

Thank you

To get back to the question at the top of the page, I've found the iLearnInteractive series from Mobius (

http://www.mobius-online.com)

fantastic for explaining the basics through the advanced stuff. It's all computer based with great graphics and easy to understand. Our guys use it just about daily to look up stuff or compare spectra, etc.

The simplified handbook of vibration analysis Vol's 1 & 2 by Art Crawford are also good references. Vibration spectral analysis by Goldman and Introduction to machinery analysis and monitoring by Mitchell are also good references. Technical Associates has a wall poster and CSI puts out a pocket guide to vibration analysis ( all great references). I would also recomend TA's and The Vibe Institutes Level 1,2, and 3 certification courses. plawrence also mentioned a good one the iLearninteractive software from Mobius is a good tool. Roy Gariepy

scape,

Asme has several codes (N-1300) that deal with shell and tube FIV.

Blevin's book on Flow-Induced Vibration is excellent and is devoted to the subject.

Here are two good references:
"Machinery Malfunction Diagnosis and Correction" by Robert C. Eisenmann, Sr and Robert C. Eisenmen, Jr

"Mechanical Vibrations" by JP Den Hartog

Not necessarily in that order

I to am new in the vibration field and might have some good advice. The best place to get training is the vibration institute. CSI and Bentley Nevada also have some quality training, but whenever you get envolved with vendors they try pretty hard to push their products. You want to find a book that not only focuses on classical theory, but provides case histories with spectral plots and trending data.

I use Shock and Vibration Handbook by Harris and Crede and Modal Testing by Ewins

I am trying to calculate how the vibration propagate through a circular rod, studying how the diameter affects the propagation. The books I've read by now all assume the rod is very long and the diameter can be negelected, but I want to find out how the diamter affects the transmission. Does anybody know any information? Or any books that talk about it?

Thanks a lot.

Look up waveguides. They will be concerned with eliminating or minimizing non-axial modes. More generally you are just looking at typical 3dimensional modal behaviour in solids, a well described phenomenon.
