Product Description
Describes the rotordynamic considerations that are important to the successful design or troubleshooting of a turbomachine. Shows how bearing design, fluid seals, and rotor geometry affect rotordynamic behavior (vibration, shaft whirling, bearing loads, and critical speeds), and describes two successful computational methods for rotordynamic analysis in terms that can be understood by practicing engineers. Gives descriptive accounts of the state of the art in several areas of the field and presents important mathematical or computational concepts, describing equations and formulas in physical terms for better understanding. Also offers tips for troubleshooting unstable machines and provides practical interpretations of vibration measurements.

6 out of 7 found this review helpful

The book recolect all the experience of the author about this subject. Contains the most importants aspects of rotordynamics: lateral analysis, torsional analysis and balancing and the influence of the bearings and seals on the instability of a machine. It also contains a very complete chapter about measurements. All these subjects are covered from the point of view of the matematician and from that of the technician. The book contains all the necesary references in this area and clarifying examples in every chapter.
