Condition Monitoring and Vibrational Analysis of Proposed Shaft through Experimental and FEA Approach – A Review

Condition Monitoring is an advanced and very useful tool of predictive maintenance techniques.When a\ud machine fails or break down, the consequences can range from annoyance to the financial disaster or personal\ud injury and possible loose of life. For this reason early detection, identification and correction of machinery\ud problems is paramount to anyone involved in the maintenance of industrial machinery to insure continued, safe\ud and productive operation. In order to run the machines efficiently condition monitoring of machines is\ud important.Vibrations are found almost everywhere in rotating shaft. shaft vibrates due to unbalances,\ud misalignments and imperfect bearings. .Here in this project condition monitoring of rotating shaft is done using\ud vibration analysis and also crack detection analysis, accelerometeris used along with a device called as Fast\ud Fourier Transform (F.F.T.)
