This is an introductory course designed for those new to vibration testing, occasional practicioners, and managers. The attendees are first given the essential foundation in the physics of vibration. Only simple mathematics are used. Instrumentation and proper measurement practices are then explained. The theory and practical knowledge are combined during the presentation of particular applications; Machine Vibration, Modal Analysis, and Shaker Testing.
