ISO 18436 Category IV CAT-IV

Master Vibration Analyst Training & Certification

Part 2 Online Learning

Part 2 of the course covers four days and like Part 1, will be delivered through online learning. Quizzes will be performed during the
course in order to gauge comprehension. It covers measurement, analysis, dynamics, and balancing of turbomachinery. Topics will
include proximity probe and casing measurements, orbit and centerline plot analysis, rotor dynamics (natural frequencies, modeling),
journal bearings (design, fluid film instabilities), and flexible rotor balancing. The course will also cover torsional vibration.

Note that this course is designed for people who have come up through the Category I, II, III development process; it is not necessary to
have a degree in advanced mechanical engineering or dynamics we will take a very practical approach. Utilizing advanced 3D animations
and software simulations, topics that were possibly beyond the reach of many vibration analysts will be far easier to understand. The aim
is to provide the level of knowledge that enables the vibration analyst to understand these topics to a high degree, with the expectation
that if advanced analysis, design modification or modeling is required, a specialist in those areas will be called-in.

Detailed topic list:

Principles of vibration Corrective action

Natural frequency, resonance, critical speeds Low and high speed shop balancing
Force, response, damping, stiffness Field balancing (single plane, two plane,
Instabilities, non-linear systems static/couple, flexible rotor)
Torsional vibration
Instrumentation Rotor/bearing dynamics
Proximity probe operation, conventions, glitch Rotor/bearing dynamics
removal Rotor characteristics
Shaft and casing measurements Rotor modeling (rotor, wheels, bearings,
aerodynamic effects)
Fault analysis Bearing characteristics (fluid film bearings,
Orbit analysis housing and supports, seals, couplings)
Shaft centerline analysis
Transient analysis
Unbalance, bent shaft, cracked shaft,
eccentricity
Rubs, instabilities
Resonance and critical speeds
Turbomachinery

Classroom Review Course & Certification Exam

As part of your registration for Part 2, we also provide a live classroom review course session. The aim of the five-day classroom session is
to combine education, review and question practice. Attendees will learn, and attendees will be tested. The sessions will be very interactive
with ample opportunity to ask questions. As we revise the topics covered in the on-line videos we will also challenge you with exam
standard practical questions. We will also utilize the polling devices for spot quizzes.

On the final day of the review course, you will take the ISO 18436 Category IV certification examination. The exam takes five hours to
complete.
