- This paper addresses key issues of plant reliability and maintenance for Malaysia to develop expertise that will help local companies become self reliant on all aspects of vibration Condition monitoring and Plant maintenance. An industrial case study that involves non-destructive evaluation of an extruder motor due to excessive vibration is presented. The analyses conclude that the cause of the high vibration is due to a weakness in the motor support structures. Based on the findings, structural dynamic modifications were applied that shifted the lowest natural frequency away from the operating speed and effectively reduced vibration to a safe level.
