Our ability to determine a machine's or a structure's mechanical soundness has recently been augmented through the technique of vibroacoustical diagnostics. That is, the estimation or monitoring of their internal state through an appropriate processing of measured vibrational and/or noise signals. Presents ideas concerning this field of engineering in a form suitable for a broad category of readers such as plant managers or maintenance staff, who don't always have advanced mathematical knowledge.

This volume provides a treatment of the vibroacoustical diagnostics of machines and structures - the estimation or monitoring of their internal state through an appropriate processing of measured vibrational and/or noise signals. Ideas concerning these diagnostics and their implementation are presented in the text, along with specific examples from various fields of engineering. Although these ideas and algorithms are of mathematical origin, they are presented in a form suitable for a broad category of readers, who may not have advanced mathematical knowledge. Topics discussed include the fundamentals of the theory of probability and random processes, signal processing, mechanical oscillations and waves.
