The book is useful for everyone who works on a rotordynamics field. Also coloured pictures are cool. I've been preparing rotordynamic mathematical models thus the one hepls me to understand better real systems.

Having been an MDS field engineer for Bently Nevada Corporation at the time that BNC was owned by Mr. Bently (now GE), the field support group (MDS) were responsible for addressing and solving actual machinery problems on a commercial scale. We were always in different plants and places most every week, which provided a diversity of machinery experience.

When Mr. Bently published this book, my personal reaction was that it accumilated and encompassed most everything that needed to be known by an MDS engineer. The practical application of field work meets the methods and teachings of what a vibration engineer should know. It is all laid out in this book in an easy to understand format.

If you are into machinery diagnostics and vibration analysis, this book is akin to having a personal tutor who provides a fantastic insight into the world of machinery dynamics and diagnostics. Speaking as a professional field engineer myself, it really is a must have reference.

As a Rotating Equipment engineer I went to most of the Bently nevada courses dealing with machinery diagnostics. This book represents the written form of the courses and MORE! The illustrations are very clear and can provide the expert and beginning engineer who is doing vibration analysis a good reference and learning guide. Most book deal mostly with vibration analysis of ant-friction bearings and does not use DM2000, System1, Orbits etc. This book does all that!

A must-have for all vibration analysts.

With an intelligent speaking, easy to understand and clearly ways to show complex theories, this book help me to understand phenomenons and kinds of solutions to improve the operation of many different types of rotating machines.

Mr. Bently explain with pictures, math formulas and photos from the basic concept to an advanced understanding of the most common issues and let you able to improve by yourself your acknowledge in this fantastic area of physics.
