Historically, generator inspections require rotor removal (Figure 1). There’s a significant level of risk during this process due to possible generator damage during the disassembly, and it also ...

The severe vibrations aboard rockets, spacecraft, and satellites en route to orbit and those less severe but sometimes troublesome of military and commercial aircraft (especially helicopters), ...

Even with simulation, critical failure modes like resonance-induced fatigue and connection looseness can emerge during ...

A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

The majority of nuclear power plants in the United States are approaching 40 years of age and some of the components installed during initial construction are beginning to show signs of wear. This is ...

Vibration testing helps to predict how well a product will withstand its intended service or transportation environment. Some new vibration controllers have the capability to replicate data recorded ...
