Learning Outcomes
- know the procedure to follow to characterize the vibratory behavior of a system and know how to use the means of calculation and measurements necessary for the analytical and experimental approaches,
- to know the methodology to follow and the technical solutions available, to reduce abnormally high vibration levels,
- know and know how to choose vibration monitoring indicators that can detect the appearance of defects on rotating machines, as well as diagnostic tools that identify the nature of these defects by seeking their signatures in the measurement results,
this in order to be able to face all the industrial problems whose vibrations are the cause.
Content
The chapters of the course, grouped according to the general objectives, are as follows:

Characterization of the vibrations of a system:
- analytical study: sub-structuring of a complex system,
- experimental study: means of measurement and software for experimental modal analysis.

Vibration reduction methodology:
- actions on the source of the vibrations,
- actions on the transmission of vibrations,
- actions on the system's own response.

Conditional and provisional maintenance of rotating machinery:
- types of defects in rotating machinery,
- choice and limitations of monitoring indicators and diagnostic tools.

These chapters are complemented by the presentation of frequency analysis tools: Fourier series and digital Fourier transform, used in the experimental characterization of systems and diagnosis of defects in rotating machines.

The theoretical knowledge on the characterization of the vibrations of a system is implemented during three sessions of practical work, relating respectively to the use:
- means of measurement,
- a modal analysis software,
- finite element calculations software.

These three sessions make it possible to compare, on the same system, the vibratory characteristics extracted from measurements with those calculated from a modeling of the system.
