Vibrations are mechanical oscillations around the reference point. They are a daily occurrence and we find them everywhere. By studying them we come to the conclusion that vibrations have their positive and negative sides. Positive sides relate to the operation of individual machines that use artificial excited vibrations. The negatives are the vibration impacts on people, machines, equipment and materials. The ship is an engineering construction, which is extremely susceptible to vibration. The historical development of vibration measurements dates back to the 19th century, and to date the system of vibration measurement really progressed. Various methods are being used for vibration analysis, sensors, signaling devices and equipment which can quickly and easily identify when the fault occurs, they determine the best ways of monitoring the situation, the conditions of measuring machines ... Control and diagnostics of vibrations extend the life of equipment, reduce maintenance costs and release of all damage caused by vibration.
