Vibration Spectrum Analysis: A Practical Approach, Second Edition

The following fifteen questions are like a well given take-home test. No amount of additional time will help you determine the right answers. They have been designed to confuse and befuddle you. It will take a thorough knowledge of vibration analysis (which you have surely gained by now) to properly answer them. Good luck.
