An in-depth analysis of machine vibration in rotatingmachinery
Whether it's a compressor on an offshore platform, aturbocharger in a truck or automobile, or a turbine in a jetairplane, rotating machinery is the driving force behind almostanything that produces or uses energy. Counted on daily to performany number of vital societal tasks, turbomachinery uses highrotational speeds to produce amazing amounts of power efficiently.The key to increasing its longevity, efficiency, and reliabilitylies in the examination of rotor vibration and bearing dynamics, afield called rotordynamics.
A valuable textbook for beginners as well as a handy referencefor experts, Machinery Vibration and Rotordynamics isteeming with rich technical detail and real-world examples gearedtoward the study of machine vibration. A logical progression ofinformation covers essential fundamentals, in-depth case studies,and the latest analytical tools used for predicting and preventingdamage in rotating machinery. Machinery Vibration andRotordynamics:
* Combines rotordynamics with the applications of machineryvibration in a single volume
* Includes case studies of vibration problems in several differenttypes of machines as well as computer simulation models used inindustry
* Contains fundamental physical phenomena, mathematical andcomputational aspects, practical hardware considerations,troubleshooting, and instrumentation and measurement techniques
For students interested in entering this highly specializedfield of study, as well as professionals seeking to expand theirknowledge base, Machinery Vibration and Rotordynamics willserve as the one book they will come to rely upon consistently.
