“Diagnosis and Control of Machinery and Equipment Vibrations”
The course was held on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in the Hall of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and continued for three days.
The course was delivered by Professor Dr. Hamad Mohammed Hassan and Assistant Lecturer Ahmed Salem Khalaf. They addressed the fundamental concepts of mechanical system vibrations and their primary causes in rotating equipment. In addition, they discussed measurement and analysis methodologies using time-domain and frequency-domain techniques, with a focus on the role of vibration diagnostics in enhancing operational efficiency and reducing unexpected failures.
The lecturers also reviewed practical strategies for vibration control, including dynamic balancing, proper alignment, isolation and damping systems, as well as the implementation of continuous monitoring programs and predictive maintenance approaches to improve industrial equipment reliability and bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical workplace applications.
The course was attended by students of the department, along with a number of engineers and faculty members. It was marked by positive engagement and fruitful scientific discussions, reflecting the participants’ interest in developing their skills in the field of machinery vibration analysis.
This course comes as part of the College’s ongoing efforts to enhance the technical and practical competencies of students and engineers, promote advanced maintenance practices, and support early fault diagnosis across engineering disciplines.
