Case study presentations: Coupling-induced vibration in fans, plus a work-in-process involving subsynchronous vibration, presented by Jim Flynn
Vice chair Jim Flynn reviewed a case history that demonstrated how couplings can bear the brunt of problems in plant equipment. He also related the status of an on-going investigation involving a 0.7x vibration that tracks with running speed. We had a nice turn-out of nearly 20 people
