Synopsis

This comprehensivereference/text provides a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of rotating machinery vibration-treating computer model building, sources and types of vibration, and machine vibration signal analysis.

Illustrating turbomachinery, vibration severity levels, condition monitoring, and rotor vibration cause identification, Rotating Machinery Vibration

Provides a primer on vibration fundamentals

Highlights calculation of rotor unbalance response and rotor self-excited vibration

Demonstrates calculation of rotor balancing weights

Furnishes PC codes for lateral rotor vibration analyses

Treats bearing, seal, impeller, and blade effects on rotor vibration

Describes modes, excitation, and stability of computer models

Includes extensive PC data coefficient files on bearing dynamics

Providing comprehensive descriptions of vibration symptoms for rotor unbalance, dynamic instability, rotor-stator rubs, misalignment, loose parts, cracked shafts, and rub-induced thermal bows, Rotating Machinery Vibration is an essential reference for mechanical, chemical, design, manufacturing, materials, aerospace, and reliability engineers; and specialists in vibration, rotating machinery, and turbomachinery; and an ideal text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
