Recorded vibrations carry extensive information about the dynamic state of a mechanical system, describing the processes within it in both direct and detailed ways. Vibration signal naturally reflects the mechanical process, often including its very subtle aspects, so its proper analysis may help to monitor not only the system’s dynamic state and operating conditions but also the physical properties and changes in its components, such as wear or faults in bearings or transmission gears, physical defects or breakage of parts, deformations and imbalance, lack of lubrication, etc.
