This presentation will shed light on a very important vibration phenomenon which is resonance. Resonance occurs when a vibration is transmitted to another object with natural frequency equal or very close to that of the source. As a result, the vibration amplitude will be amplified. During the presentation several rotating equipment case studies will be shared showing different field examples of resonance along with shot and long term solutions. Moreover, different tips will be shared to avoid resonance vibration while replacing/ordering different rotating equipment.
