Vibration Studies and Its Measurement and Control

Mechanical vibration refers to the oscillating motion of an object about a reference position. It is a result of dynamic forces in machines which have moving parts. It is often a destructive and annoying side effect of a useful process or intended operation. Vibration disturbances occur in machines and intricate electronic equipment, if left unattended, will increase product downtime, system maintenance and warranty costs and reduce user satisfaction. It is therefore essential for product designers, equipment manufacturers or system operators to understand the vibration phenomenon, the sources of vibration and to be able to reduce or isolate the unwanted vibration occurs in these machines.

Objectives:

This two-day technical course provides participants a better understanding of vibration phenomenon, vibration sources and their effects, vibration isolation theory and practical considerations, vibration measurement and signal processing. It aims to assist practicing engineers in resolving their maintenance or design issues arising from the vibration of machines.

The training provides participants with:

  • Mechanical vibration and its underlying theory
  • Various sources of vibration, their effects and general control techniques
  • Vibration isolation methodology and its practical considerations
  • Vibration measurement system set up, and
  • Digital signal processing and spectral analysis.

Date:

17-18 July 2025

Time:

09:00 – 17:00 (GMT+8) Singapore

Pre-requisites:
