This technical book deals with the design and function of vibration measurement systems, how they are put into operation and how measurements are interpreted. It describes the functioning of the entire measurement chain from the transducer to the evaluation, and explains the interaction of the elements as well as the practically used procedures of signal processing and evaluation and clarifies them with numerous practical examples.

Prof. Thomas Kuttner is a professor at the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. His work focuses on the fields of vibration measurement technology, experimental fatigue strength and test bench technology.

Dipl.-Ing. Armin Rohnen teaches at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aircraft Engineering. He specializes in the application of MATLAB® in measurement and signal analysis.
