Failure Mode: Lack of a Strategy for Managing Equipment Even though condition-based monitoring methods may be established, strategies for managing equipment are still needed. Condition monitoring is a requirement for good machine management, but other strategies also should be incorporated into the equipment reliability process.
view moreThe rotating stall phenomenon is very common in centrifugal and axial‐flow compressors and may also occur in pumps when the flow rate is much lower than the normal capacity. Pump vibration is one of the serious problems that can result in complete failure of one or more of the pump components. The severity of mechanical vibrations can be ...

However, a common feature of these diverse materials is their inhomogeneous and frequently markedly anisotropic nature, resulting in fracture behaviour unlike that of conventional metallic alloys. As a result, current fracture mechanics based analyses and test procedures are often

view moreThere are many aspects to consider when selecting an industrial motor, such as application, operational, mechanical, and environmental issues. Generally speaking, the choice is among an ac motor, a dc motor, or a servo/stepper motor. Knowing which one to use depends on the industrial application and if there are any special needs required.
