Motor and drive system technology continues to advance throughout the industry. Oftentimes, this increased complexity presents a challenge to the teams who are making sure the equipment runs at peak ...

Power generation plants throughout the world rely on critical process fans for operation. But what happens when a fan rotor, with a wheel rotating at a peripheral speed of 450 miles per hour (mph), ...

Because the causes of machine vibration are so numerous, the underlying problem is often difficult to isolate. Most troubleshooting processes rely on advanced diagnostic techniques and result in the ...

Couplings chosen with application requirements in mind last longer, improve precision, and protect other system components from premature failure. • Engineers should choose couplings that compensate ...

The turbulent air above a wildfire is punishing to aircraft structures. The excessive and frequent loads place an inordinate number of loading cycles on an aircraft, leading to accelerated crack ...

WAJDA: Vibration is the oscillation of a body around a reference point. Vibration exists when a system responds to some internal or external excitation. Vibration is a dynamic response to a dynamic ...

The actions of humans, machinery, ventilation and heating systems, and road or rail traffic can cause many vibrations. Although these vibrations have little effect on occupants, equipment used in ...
