Broad coverage of rotordynamics with an emphasis on understanding and solving vibration problems
Rotating parts are among the most common elements in modern mechanical systems and often become the main source of problematic vibrations in machinery. This volume offers wide-ranging coverage of fundamental rotordynamics in order to provide engineers with the necessary knowledge to eliminate various vibration problems. Authors Yamamoto and Ishida provide classification of rotating shaft systems and general coverage of key ideas common to all branches of rotordynamics, such as critical speed, gyroscopic movement, whirling motion, and frequency diagrams. They also provide state-of-the art analysis of dynamical problems not treated in most other books on the subject, 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. Linear and Nonlinear Rotordynamics is a professional engineer's complete resource for dealing with vibration in rotordynamical systems.
