Abstract : Vibration analysis plays a crucial role in monitoring the health and performance of rotating machinery. With the growing complexity of mechanical systems and the increasing demand for reliability, predictive maintenance, and performance optimization, vibration analysis has emerged as a key diagnostic tool. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of vibration analysis in rotating machinery, including the theoretical foundations, advanced techniques, practical applications, common challenges, and future directions. Emphasis is placed on condition monitoring, fault detection, and maintenance strategies in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, power generation, and automotive.
