Vibrations of Rotating Machinery: Volume 1. Basic Rotordynamics: Introduction to Practical Vibration Analysis

This book focuses on the general rotordynamics of turbomachinery, including bearing dynamics, rotating shaft vibration, fluid force induced vibrations from seals, active vibration control, and rotating structure dynamics due to blades. this book is targeted mainly at students and academic researchers who are more interested in the theoretical and fundamental approaches. Mode synthesis modeling is then introduced for system reduction, which aids the understanding in a simplified manner of how complicated rotors behave. Rotor balancing techniques are offered for rigid and flexible rotors through several examples.
