Measurement of Vibration

2 Comments / Instrumentation

Measurement of vibration is very important in industrial field. In this tutorial, vibration measurement is explained in details. What is Vibration? Definition: Periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium, commonly resulting when almost any physical system is displaced from its equilibrium condition and allowed to respond to the forces that […]
