Editorial Review:
Presents, in a single source, a practical, ``hands-on'' approach to vibration analysis and measurement, field balancing and shaft alignment, and how to understand and solve typical vibration problems. It covers balancing, resonance, gears and bearings, structural vibration, isolation, alignment, instruments, diagnostics, and trending. Includes extensive coverage of the FFT spectrum analyzer as well as numerous ``fixes'' to help solve immediate vibration problems. Presents principles applicable to all mechanical equipment as well as many case histories covering various mechanical devices such as fans, common motors, and pumps.

Overall Best Vibration Book Yet 2000-10-04
As a practicing mechanical engineer and vibration analyst for over eight years, I have found Mr.Wowk's book the best yet. In particular, I have found this book to have a good index and sensibly ordered so information can be obtained quickly. Also, Mr.Wowk has smartly avoided extensive mathmatical discussions in his book and focused the content towards common problems and solutions. To improve his book I would recommend more case histories and more extensive content on topics such as electrical problems and bearing faults. Overall it is the best book of its type I have read yet.


About the books description from the author's wife 2000-09-12
This description of Victor's book is not all correct. So, I decided to set the record straight. From a little research, I found that an incorrect book description was initially entered into a database and used by other book-sales companies as well. This textbook is basically about the technology of machinery vibration measurement and analysis. It touches on topics such as balancing and alignment, but does not cover these subjects in detail. Victor has written subsequent textbooks that cover balancing and alignment in detail. Amazon's description about this book is correct except for the Synoposis which describes the textbook: Machinery Vibration: Balancing. I know Victor's textbooks intimately--since I word processed all three of them. Of course I highly recommend reading them. As an office manager with no experience in plant maintenance, I gained a basic understanding in the field of vibration analysis. I have seen that when companies utilize this technology, production downtime is minimized, and costs in maintaining rotating equipment and facilites are dramatically reduced--a must read for company decision makers, such as facility or plant managers, purchase agents, and executives. Of course maintenance techs and engineers also can benefit from reading this book. (Victor teaches private and public workshops based on his books--visit www.machinedyn.com for details.)


Good reference, but requires supplementary volumes 1999-08-25
This is a good book to get started with machinery analysis, but be careful since it leaves many of the detailed analyses and remediation techniques to Mr. Wowk's other books. For example, the Amazon publisher's review erroneously indicates that this book contains the procedure for strobe-less 4-trial balancing. It does NOT - that procedure is in Mr. Wowk's follow-on book on Balancing. But as a SET of books Mr. Wowk's texts seem very thorough and up-to-date.


Well written with a focus on the fundmentals. 1999-04-30
A great book for anyone interested in basic vibration analysis. Good coverage of vibration theory and application. Included are case histories that help demonstrate how to apply vibration techniques. If you want a better understanding of machinery vibration with a focus on real world application this is a best buy.
