Synopsis

Presents a systematic and practical approach to the prediction of rotordynamics behavior. Opens with a description of the characteristics of rotor elements, then considers simple models showing basic data and introduces the use of finite element techniques. Considers industrial applications such as centrifugal and magnetic bearing compressors, steam and gas turbines and jet engines. Chapters also deal with transient motions and rotors passing through critical speeds and briefly examine the influence of torsion. The problems brought about by dissymetric shafts, equations with periodic coefficients and axial torque are discussed in the final chapter.

About this title

From the Back Cover

In this updated and revised second edition, the authors present a systematic and practical approach to the analytical and numerical aspects of the prediction of rotordynamics behaviour. The influence of bending is a main theme of the book, although the effects of torsion are also considered. The use of finite element techniques and the characteristics of rotor elements are introduced. The book goes on to consider simple models showing basic phenomena which are then linked to industrial applications such as turbocompressors, high pressure centrifugal compressors, and steam and air turbines. Key features include:

• The inclusion of a computer program available free of charge on the Internet
• The development of a simple model of co-axial multirotors
• New industrial applications and 1995 API specifications

This book will be of great interest and value to students and engineers concerned with predictions in rotordynamics and mechanical engineering.
