Vibration Monitoring, Testing, and Instrumentation

Measuring and testing for vibration is critical in maximizing system durability and ensuring safety, including effects of vibrations on humans and their environment. Condensing information from the highly popular Vibration and Shock Handbook, this book supplies a convenient guide to the tools, techniques, data, and instrumentation to successfully test, measure, and analyze vibration behavior. Expert contributors examine instrumentation, signal acquisition, LabVIEW™ tools for virtual instrumentation, shock and vibration methodologies for various civil and mechanical engineering systems, signal conditioning, and recording. The book also includes an additional chapter on human response to vibration.
