Fluid Power Circuits and Controlsby John S. Cundiff
CRC Press 2001; US$ 119.95This fluid power textbook walks advanced engineering students through several levels of complexity, beginning with simple circuits with a simple function and concluding with the use of servo valves to control heavy loads moving at high speed. Cundiff (biological engineering, Virginia Tech) provides a circuit diagram for each component in a fluid po more...
Practical Balancing of Rotating Machineryby Derek Norfield
Elsevier 2006; US$ 119.00Rotating machinery (eg pumps, motors, compressors) is normally manufactured to precise measurements but there comes a point when the costs of manufacture mean that further precision is not cost-effective and thus any slight imbalance inherent in the machine will need to be attended to after manufacture. When such machinery is in operation, often at very high speeds of thousands of revs per minute, any imbalance will set up vibration and often noise. In addition, such imbalance will cause extra wear and loss of efficiency in the machine. The answer is to balance the affected parts of the machine so that it operates smoothly and efficiently. This book is a practical account of such balancing techniques e.g how to balance a rotor, how to set... more...
Practical Machinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenanceby Cornelius Scheffer; Paresh Girdhar
Elsevier 2004; US$ 66.95Machinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance provides a detailed examination of the detection, location and diagnosis of faults in rotating and reciprocating machinery using vibration analysis. The basics and underlying physics of vibration signals are first examined. The acquisition and processing of signals is then reviewed followed by a discussion of machinery fault diagnosis using vibration analysis. Hereafter the important issue of rectifying faults that have been identified using vibration analysis is covered. The book also covers the other techniques of predictive maintenance such as oil and particle analysis, ultrasound and infrared thermography. The latest approaches and equipment used together with the latest techniques... more...
Mechanical Engineering Principlesby John Bird; Carl T. F. Ross
Taylor & Francis 2002; US$ 38.95In this book John Bird and Carl Ross introduce mechanical principles and technology through examples and applications - enabling students to develop a sound understanding of the principles needed by professional engineers and technicians. No previous background in engineering is assumed and theoretical concepts are supported by over 600 problems and worked examples. This completely new text is designed to match a wide range of pre-degree courses, and provide an accessible introduction for undergraduates with no previous background in engineering studies. The authors have ensured syllabus-match for the leading UK courses at this level: AVCE optional units Mechanical Engineering Principles and Further Mechanical Engineering Principles, and... more...
Predictive Maintenance of Pumps Using Condition Monitoringby Raymond S Beebe
Elsevier 2004; US$ 240.00This book shows how condition monitoring can be applied to detect internal degradation in pumps so that appropriate maintenance can be decided upon based on actual condition rather than arbitrary time scales. The book focuses on the main condition monitoring techniques particularly relevant to pumps (vibration analysis, performance analysis). The philosophy of condition monitoring is briefly summarised and field examples show how condition monitoring is applied to detect internal degration in pumps. * The first book devoted to condition monitoring and predictive maintenance in pumps. * Explains how to minimise energy costs, limit overhauls and reduce maintenance expenditure. * Includes material not found anywhere else. more...
