Torsional Issues: Stop Guessing and Measure the Problems Directly
Failure mechanisms such as misalignment, balance, or lubrication issues can cause machinery failure. Many of these problems can be identified using standard non-destructive testing (NDT) methods including vibration analysis, infrared thermography, and tribology....

Deep Well Vertical Pump Analysis using Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA)
There are many advantages that vertical pumps provide over horizontally mounted pumps and when they operate properly they generally provide many years of reliable, maintenance free operation. However, in almost any plant with a large inventory of vertical pumps they will have one or more of these pumps that are considered “bad actors”...

Prediction of Vibrational Fatigue on Bolted Joint Interfaces Using CAE
Vibrational fatigue is the failure of a material under cyclic loading caused by forced vibration. An excited structure responds at its natural frequencies, resulting in a dynamic stress load...
