Description
Summary:The relation of overall vibration monitoring to machinery health monitoring is analogous to the relationship between the volume levels of a song and the individual eomponents of a song that the brain has the ability to dissect. The audio speaker can be seen as analogous to the machine being monitored. You have one source that is sending you a lot of information. The instruments the speaker reproduces are much like machine vibrations due to different fault types.
