Practice of Vibration Measurement

This technical book deals with the design and function of vibration measurement systems, how they are put into operation and how measurements are interpreted. It describes the functioning of the entire measurement chain from the transducer to the evaluation, and explains the interaction of the elements as well as the practically used procedures of signal processing and evaluation and clarifies them with numerous practical examples.

Unique selling point Practical effective use of MATLAB® Focus on solving engineering problems
