This book aims to provide coverage of the practical aspects of vibration measurement and analysis techniques yet avoids a detailed mathematical content. It is aimed at engineers who are starting in the field of vibration measurement and analysis techniques and who wish to gain a broad understanding of the many rival approaches and their advantages and disadvantages. It should also be useful for students requiring a clear and concise guide to the choices available in instrumentation and analysis methods in vibration. The various techniques available for analysis of signals are explained and the reasons for the choice of different approaches according to the type of information required. Mathematical content is kept to a minimum, including only that necessary to understand the validity, range and limitations of particular methods.
