Vibration Analysis and Control in Rotating Machinery

Vibration analysis involves studying oscillations in mechanical systems to detect faults,


improve performance, and enhance lifespan. In rotating machinery—like turbines,
compressors, and motors—vibration can result from imbalance, misalignment, bearing
defects, or aerodynamic instabilities.​
Mechanical engineers apply analytical models, modal analysis, and numerical simulations to
predict natural frequencies, mode shapes, and response under operational loads.
Experimental techniques include accelerometer-based measurements, laser vibrometry, and
order tracking analysis. Excessive vibrations lead to fatigue, noise, and failure; thus, control
methods are essential. These include passive damping (viscoelastic materials, tuned mass
dampers), active control (piezoelectric actuators, feedback loops), and design modifications
(stiffness tuning, isolation mounts). Condition monitoring systems use vibration spectra and
time-domain signals to detect anomalies before catastrophic failure. Advances in digital
twins and AI-based diagnostics are enabling real-time predictive maintenance, reducing
downtime, and extending equipment service life.
