Define Vibration
What is it, where does it come from?
General Description
Vibration : defined..
Movement of a body about a reference. Response to some form of excitation The excitation is generally referred to as a forcing function
Sources of Vibration
Imbalance Misalignment Belts Gears Bearings
Rolling Element Sleeve

Introduction to Vibration
Lets imagine that the shaft is rotating
(The center of the shaft is really what we are plotting, not the mass near the edge. We just use the mass for illustration)

Introduction to Vibration
Locate its peak positive position with a red mark.
Amplitude
Time
Introduction to Vibration
As the shaft rotates, time also shifts, so well locate this new position forward with respect to time.
Amplitude

Introduction to Vibration
Continuing this process The mass is now 180 degrees from its original position.
Amplitude
Introduction to Vibration
As the mass returns to the zero reference point, notice that it is now 180 degrees from the corresponding green marker.

Introduction to Vibration
Having completed 1 revolution, the mass returns to peak positive position. This is one cycle.

3 ways to display
All three show severity Some better than others
Velocity
Measures the speed Time from point A to point B rate of displacement
Displacement
Distance a body moves Point A to point B
Acceleration
Total force acting Change of direction

Phase: is the relationship between two events. You measure phase in degrees of rotation.

Phase
You can also use phase to describe the relationship between two events, as shown below. Disk A is 180 out of phase with disk B.

Velocity
rate at which displacement occurs units of inches per second in/sec (pk.) or mm/sec RMS
Acceleration
rate of change of velocity units of Gs (RMS)
Frequency
how often an event occurs per unit time
Phase
relationship between two events relative to a reference

Summary of Overall Vibration Standards An insurance agent responsible for insuring companies and their equipment established the Rathbone chart in 1939. So he could set an adequate premium, he had to know the running condition of the machinery. The agent based his chart on casing measurements made on heavy, slow-speed machines.
