<p><b>Explains the mechanisms governing flow-induced vibrations and helps engineers prevent fatigue&nbsp;and fretting-wear&nbsp;damage&nbsp;at&nbsp;the design&nbsp;stage&nbsp;</b></p> <p>Fatigue or&nbsp;fretting-wear damage&nbsp;in process&nbsp;and plant&nbsp;equipment caused by flow-induced vibration&nbsp;can lead to&nbsp;operational disruptions, lost production, and&nbsp;expensive&nbsp;repairs.&nbsp;Mechanical engineers can help&nbsp;prevent&nbsp;or mitigate&nbsp;these problems&nbsp;during&nbsp;the design&nbsp;phase of high capital cost plants such as nuclear power stations and petroleum refineries by performing thorough flow-induced vibration analysis.&nbsp;Accordingly, it is critical for mechanical engineers to have a firm&nbsp;understanding of the dynamic parameters and the vibration excitation mechanisms that govern flow-induced vibration.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear and Process Equipment&nbsp;</i>provides the knowledge required to prevent failures due to flow-induced vibration at the design stage. The product of more than 40 years of research and development at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, this authoritative reference covers all relevant aspects of flow-induced vibration technology, including vibration failures, flow velocity analysis, vibration excitation mechanisms, fluidelastic instability, periodic wake shedding, acoustic resonance, random turbulence, damping mechanisms, and fretting-wear predictions. Each in-depth chapter contains the latest available lab data, a parametric analysis, design guidelines, sample calculations, and a brief review of modelling and theoretical considerations.&nbsp;Written by a group of leading experts in the field, this&nbsp;comprehensive single-volume resource:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Helps&nbsp;readers&nbsp;understand and apply&nbsp;techniques&nbsp;for&nbsp;preventing&nbsp;fatigue&nbsp;and fretting-wear damage&nbsp;due to flow-induced vibration&nbsp;at the design&nbsp;stage&nbsp;</li> <li>Covers components including nuclear reactor internals, nuclear fuels, piping systems, and various types of heat&nbsp;exchangers&nbsp;</li> <li>Features examples of vibration-related failures caused by fatigue or fretting-wear in&nbsp;nuclear and&nbsp;process equipment&nbsp;</li> <li>Includes a detailed overview of state-of-the-art flow-induced vibration technology&nbsp;with an emphasis on two-phase flow-induced vibration&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Covering all relevant aspects of flow-induced vibration technology,&nbsp;<i>Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear and Process Equipment</i>&nbsp;is required reading for professional mechanical engineers and researchers working in the nuclear, petrochemical, aerospace, and process industries, as well as graduate students in mechanical engineering courses&nbsp;on&nbsp;flow-induced vibration.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
