Work Identification WI305 Applied Modal and Operating Deflection Shape Analysis

Recommended for: Course description

Introductory analysis lecture
This portion of the course provides background information on Experimental Modal and Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) Analysis topics with extensive case histories and instructor experience . Advanced analysis without complex mathematics Understanding modes of simplified animation shapes (beams, columns, plates, and shells) How to construct meaningful computer models of machines and structures Choosing required numbers of points and directions for ODS and Modal analysis Recommended measurement setups for ODS and Modal analysis field testing How to accurately interpret computer model animations (leading to problem resolution) How to confirm what specific component is resonant on a complex machine, support frame, foundation and attached piping, ductwork, and more How to identify optimum corrective actions Presentation of numerous demonstrations and class exercises ODS and Modal real-world case studies Plant personnel that need a basic understanding of Modal and Operating Deflection Shape Analysis techniques on machinery and structures, as well as a practical understanding of MEscope VES modal/ODS software . Professionals whose primary responsibility is the maintenance of high level performance, reliability, and availability of critical process machinery, including rotating machinery specialists and consultants, advanced mechanics, engineers, and advanced technicians .

To provide students with a working knowledge of Experimental Modal Analysis and Operating Deflection Shape Analysis (ODS) from a field vibration analyst perspective . Upon completion of this course, students learn how to: Create computer models of plant machinery and structures Acquire meaningful Modal and ODS measurements Generate and import Modal and Operating Deflection Shape analysis measurements Generate meaningful machinery computer animations needed to detect and resolve noteworthy problems such as resonance, structural weakness, foot related problems, design inadequacies, sources of excessive vibration .
