Electric Motors: Static/Offline Testing

Electric motors are a key component for running machines in most industrial environments. Therefore it is important that they are properly monitored to avoid unwanted failures or shutdowns. Typically, there are two testing categories for electric motors: 1. Static or offline tests 2. Dynamic or

Ways to Reduce Boat Vibration and Noise

Some boats vibrate more and make a lot of noise. Vibration and noise in boat require immediate attention. Vibration and noise are related; vibration generates unwanted noise. Below are some ways to decrease vibration and noise on your boat: Boat PropellersOne of the most common

Signal Processing: Aliasing

Aliasing is a phenomenon that can occur due to improper sampling or data collection, where the original signal is indistinguishable when reconstructing data from the collected samples. This usually occurs because the sampling rate and/or resolution is inadequate. Figure 1 shows an example of aliasing. The original

Statistical Analysis: Random Vibration

There are two vibration situations in which statistical analysis is useful. The first situation occurs when the vibration amplitude of a system appears to be random in time. In this case, it is convenient to describe the response of the system statistically. This form of

Product Design: Performance vs Constraints

Every product starts out on the drawing-board with a set of objectives that define what the product must accomplish. Before clearly setting objectives for the design, it is critical to understand the constraints that may prevent it from achieving all the intended goals. Constraints inherently

Future of Condition Monitoring

The ultimate goal of condition monitoring is to increase profitability by lowering maintenance costs and minimizing downtime. The goal can be achieved by making required changes to make sure that equipment is more reliable. The machines should be monitored every period of time to detect
