PRACTICAL CASE STUDIES ON VIBRATION ANALYSIS : With an Introduction to the Basics of Vibrations

I purchased and received this book on 30 May. This is an excellent book with cases studies highlighting various machinery problems. Most of these were studied with vibration analyzers that were popular during the period 1980-2000. Author has taken pains to present the material in a structured way. A case study on the Static Couple balancing helps to achieve results without help of sophisticated two plane balancing software. The analysis part of each case study opens up knowledge windows to a beginner in vibration analysis as well as to a seasoned analyst.I was also using the IRD make analyzers along with Strobe light during 1987-95.The quality of the book is excellent in terms of both print and paper.Rs.500 price for the wealth of information provided is an irresistible offer.Its just the cost of a couple of Pizzas.My sincere thanks to the author Sri. Debasis Bhattacharyya for sharing his knowledge with his fellow vibration analysts across the globe.By....Subba Rao Ganti, Category IV Vibration Analyst.

1. Author has explained more of practical case studies with problem solving techniques.2. Balancing techniques are explained to understand easily by using 1X Displacement and phase. (particularly Vertical motor balancing, PA and FD fans balancing)3. Bearing failure symptoms, relevant ISO standards, electrical problems in HT motors are explained with the practical cases.4. Overall this book will be very helpful for condition monitoring engineer (specially for Power plant professionals). Thank you Mr Debasis.RegardsGurusamy TA

Good book

Vibration Analysis is one of the most popular ( yet least understood techniques) in the field of predictive maintenance. This book bridges the gap between theory and hands on learning in a very simple, lucid language with dollops of case studies, which makes the whole learning process easier and interesting.A must read for anyone entering the field with open mind and desire to learn comprehensively. A must have kit for practicing engineers in the field.

Excellent book covering basics of vibration analysis techniques in a concise & simple manner and wide range of real life case studies. I have been in the field of vibration analysis since long and have always felt need of such reference books which helps in quick analysis of vibration problems of equipment in real life. I am sure this book will be very much useful for beginners as well as experienced vibration analysts. Very good effort by the author to compile so many useful materials in a handy reference book and make it available at such a small price.

Excellent book, the paper quality is beautiful, for a beginner and daily practicing person in the field of vibration analysis it is a ready made solution consisting actual facts.The mode of explanation of every case study is so simple and enrich with value.The static balancing mthod and calculation shown in such a way that any technical person can do it easily.I have already use the methodologies and reference in my work field and have great success with minimum effort.Thanks to the author for shearing his valuable experiences to the world of condition monitoring.

I am a long time maintenance professional dealing with rotating equipment maintenance. Everyday we are dealing with different problems of machine vibration in our profession. If I had this book in my early stage of career, I could have solved many problems more quickly. Young mechanical engineers specially who are working as maintenance engineers will find this book immensely helpful. It will systematically guide you to find right solution. Great compilation of a field expert.

Till so far, have not got the opportunity to read this book. But I know of his ardent interest in the field of 'Vibration, it's analysis and especially vibration associated with predictive maintenance of equipment and mechanical installations'. I am sure that this book will have immense coverage of practical standpoints full of his personal findings backed up with his enormous experience, finely-tuned expertize and accrued knowledge; besides being an academic masterpiece.From: Tapas Kumar Bhattacharyya
