Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team May 11, 2009

Linda Rabady, one of the AV Technology vibration experts, has become the first woman in the world to achieve Category 4 Vibration Analysis status via the US Vibration Institute in Illinois.

This is the highest accolade attainable in vibration analysis and 27-year-old Linda is also one of the youngest engineers to have passed the examination.

The certification committee recommends at least five years of experience.

Subjects involved include: signal processing, advanced diagnostics, vibration correction and control, dual channel analysis and structural/rotor-dynamic testing.

The Vibration Institute certification programme follows the International Standards Organization standard ISO 18436.2, Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics of Machines - Requirements for Training and Certification of Personnel - Part 2: Vibration Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics.
