Linear and Nonlinear Rotordynamics

A wide-ranging treatment of fundamental rotordynamics in order to serve engineers with the necessary knowledge to eliminate various vibration problems. <br> New to this edition are three chapters on highly significant topics:<br> Vibration Suppression – The chapter presents various methods and is a helpful guidance for professional engineers.<br> Magnetic Bearings – The chapter provides fundamental knowledge and enables the reader to realize simple magnetic bearings in the laboratory.<br> Some Practical Rotor Systems – The chapter explains various vibration characteristics of steam turbines and wind turbines.<br> The contents of other chapters on Balancing, Vibrations due to Mechanical Elements, and Cracked Rotors are added to and revised extensively.<br> <br> The authors provide a classification of rotating shaft systems and general coverage of key ideas common to all branches of rotordynamics. They offers a unique analysis of dynamical problems, such as nonlinear rotordynamics, self-excited vibration, nonstationary vibration, and flow-induced oscillations. Nonlinear resonances are discussed in detail, as well as methods for shaft stability and various theoretical derivations and computational methods for analyzing rotors to determine and correct vibrations. <br> This edition also includes case studies and problems.<br>
