Method for analysing regularly recurring mechanical vibrations

A method for analysing regularly recurring mechanical vibrations comprises the steps of plotting an amplitude/time spectrum associated with the vibrations, dividing the amplitude/time spectrum into time intervals shorter than the shortest time lapse between two consecutive excitations, subjecting those parts of the amplitude/time spectrum defined by each time interval to a Fourier transformation in order to obtain an amplitude/vibration-frequency interval spectrum associated with each time interval, and subjecting those amplitudes in each amplitude/vibration frequency interval spectrum associated with certain vibration frequencies to a Fourier transformation in order to obtain an excitation-frequency spectrum associated with the respective vibration frequency.
