The importance of resonance identification and elimination. A brief reminder on system dynamics (mass, stiffness, damping).  Forced natural frequencies. How to identify the presence of excited natural frequencies – bump test, run up and coast down analysis, operational deflection shapes (ODS), experimental modal analysis. Case study #1: vertical hydraulic turbine. Case study #2: three stage piston compressor. Both case studies presented in detail: vibration measurements during stationary regime, results of special test for resonance identification (run up test, operational deflection shapes, experimental modal analysis), resonance correction method implementation, measurement results after resonance correction.

Takeaways

1. The importance of resonance identification.
2. Tips for resonance identification.
3. Tips for resonance correction.
