Rotor dynamics of turbomachinery

By: Vance, John M
Language: English Publisher: New York John Willey c1988Description: xii, 388p.; 23cmISBN: 9780471802587Subject(s): Heat engineering | Turbines | Turbomachines -- Dynamics | Rotors -- DynamicsDDC classification: 621.406 VAN/R Online resources: Publisher's URL Summary: 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.
