Abstract
Smart devices have become an important entity for many applications in daily life activities. These devices have witnessed a rapid improvement in its technology to fulfill the increasingly diverse usage demands. In the meanwhile, rotating machinery vibration analysis based on low-cost sensors has gained a considerable attraction over the last few years. For a long time, the vibration analysis of machines has been accepted as an effective solution to detect and prevent failures in complex systems to avoid the sudden malfunction. The objective of this work is to use MEMS accelerometer measurements to monitor the different level of vibration of a machine. This work presents a new technique for rotating machinery vibration analysis. It uses Fast Fourier Transformation as a feature extraction algorithm and Fuzzy Logic System (FLS) as the classifier algorithm. A smartphone accelerometer is used to collect the data from the vibrating machine. The performance of the proposed technique is tested using data from different vibration resources at a different speed of operations. The results are discussed to illustrate the various vibration levels.

Summary
Vibration studying and analysis can help in identifying some of the major problems in the industrial rotating machines, vehicles, home appliances, and buildings. Smart devices refer to power computing devices that have a platform contains a microprocessor and memory and able to run with an operating system. In the field of sport and fitness, smartphones and wearable smart devices are widely used to provide a complete analysis of the user’s performance including distance, speed, track, and calories. In another area, smartphones are involved in different applications and tools such as a measuring tool for displacement, light intensity, magnetic field intensity, and compassing. The use of smartphones for vibrations analysis allows researchers of developing new applications for the different rotating machinery devices ranging from small home appliances to industrial factory level
