Condition-based Maintenance & Machine Diagnostics
Condition-based monitoring is an accepted feature of many industries: petro-chemical, power generation, coal mining and steel-making, for instance. In manufacturing, its application has been somewhat muted.
This text attempts to present the fundamental justification for condition-based maintenance together with enough analytic and practical guidance for its implementation. There are chapters on the two dominant techniques of vibration and debris analysis. Also, basic diagnostic methods are given along with a presentation of the systems approach to condition monitoring. A detailed case study shows the practical application of the techniques presented. Finally, future developments in the use of expert systems and A1 techniques are highlighted.
This book gives details of both off-the-shelf solutions and analytic diagnostic techniques to enable a bespoke solution to be developed. It is suitable for senior undergraduates and postgraduates in the field of manufacturing and industrial engineering, and it furnishes managers in industry with sufficient information to judge the usefulness of the techniques for their particular application.

Condition Monitoring of Mechanical and Hydraulic Plant
Condition monitoring is a rapidly developing field, made essential through the greater emphasis on machine maintenance. It is a fast growing area, which has seen the introduction of many new and highly sophisticated techniques. This book introduces the wide range of condition monitoring techniques, showing how they can be relevant and cost effective to management. It aims to provide operators with a better appreciation of the benefits of these techniques and their value in particular applications. Significantly, it features: an easy-to-read introduction to condition monitoring and maintenance, including numerous examples and illustrations; a concise guide to the overall spectrum of 14 major condition monitoring types; a comprehensive listing and brief descriptions of available practical variations, including their source. This book is the essential handbook for technical managers and maintenance personnel. It is also the ideal introduction to condition monitoring for senior undergraduates and postgraduates.

Wear Debris Analysis
Wear Debris Analysis is one of a number of condition monitoring techniques. As with all of the techniques, none is all inclusive, yet each has a valuable contribution to play. However, wear debris analysis is sufficiently encompassing, and relates so significantly to important features of loss, that it can on occasions provide the total monitoring for a system: there will also be many applications where it will be complementary to other methods.
Contents: Introduction to Wear Debris Analysis; Basic Concepts and Theory; Practical Issues; Equipment and Instrumentation; Applications and Case Studies; Buyer's Guide; Reference; Index.
