This review is from: Vibration Spectrum Analysis (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for people faced with practical vibration problems. The book is a well-written to this topic. Focus is on rotating machinery, and data acquistion, filtering, etc. This is the best 1st book on vibration diagnosing I've found yet. A definite recommend to buy

By A Customer

This review is from: Vibration Spectrum Analysis (Paperback)

This is one of the most useful books in my collection. Theory where appropriate. But focus is practical application and examples from the authors extensive experience. Buy this book if you want to understand vibration spectrums.

This review is from: Vibration Spectrum Analysis (Paperback)

A practical book like this helps people a lot in doing vibration measurement. I think the author made effort to connect theoretical and practical issues for reader to understand what is expected to be measured in doing experiments.
