5. Main defects
This section gives an overview of the main faults and their vibratory manifestations that can be encountered on conventional rotating machines.
5.1 Unbalance (or imbalance)

increase in the overall level selected for low frequencies :
i.e. D c c [10-1,000 Hz],
i.e. V eff [10-1,000 Hz] ;

Quantification
Like any movement, vibrations recorded during routes can be quantified by three fundamental quantities:
travel ;
the speed of this displacement ;
the acceleration...
