Short course/CPD
Noise, Vibration and Machine Diagnosis
Course date: 05 Nov 2012 - 09 Nov 2012
Course overview
The aim of this short course is to provide students with an understanding of measurement of noise and vibration applied to rotating machinery. In addition, whilst the course covers reasons for machine condition monitoring, it focuses on the fundamental principles of applying vibration measurements to machine fault diagnosis. The course also covers the implications of selecting and positioning of vibration monitoring sensors; the detection and diagnosis of common machine faults; implications of new noise regulations for machinery.

Course description
Upon successful completion of the course the student will understand how to:
- Carry out practical noise and vibration measurement and analysis
- Predict machine noise within differing environments.
- Understand the legal implications of machinery noise.
- Capable of bringing basic techniques and knowledge to bear on maintenance engineering management, practice and vibration analysis.
- Plan and conduct vibration faultfinding investigations.
- Analyse, interpret and derive information from measured vibration data.
Delegates are able to participate in the Masters level assessment of the course and may accumulate credits towards a Masters degree.
Who should attend?
This course is one of the modules on the Masters course ‘Design of Rotating Machines’ and is principally targeted at Masters degree students. However, the course is suitable for engineers who wish to get involved with measurement of noise and vibration, and, the application of vibration analysis for machine defect diagnosis. Lectures are supported with case studies and laboratory practical sessions.
