Noise and Vibration Analysis




Preface

The material in this book has been developing in my mind for more than twenty years of teaching. During

these years I have been teaching over 200 shortcourses for engineers in the industry on techniques for

experimental noise and vibration analysis and also on how to use commercial measurement and analysis

systems. In addition, in the late 1990s I developed and taught three master’s level courses in experimental

analysis of vibrations at Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden. Noise and vibration analysis is an

interdisciplinary field, incorporating diverse subjects such as mechanical dynamics, sensor technology,

statistics, and signal processing. Whereas there are many excellent and comprehensive books in each

of these disciplines, there has been a lack of introductory material for the engineering student who first

starts to make noise and/or vibration measurements, or the engineer who needs a reference in his or her

daily life. In addition, there are few textbooks in this field presenting the techniques as they are actually

used in practice. This book is an attempt to fill this void.
