The speeds at which modern turbo-machines such as aircraft engines and power generation turbines operate are so high and the time available to react to a possible emergency situation so small that human interface is mostly of little consequence. The automatic control system built inside modern turbo-machines senses, measures and conrols operating parameters while the engine is running. If one or more operating parameters goes beyond set limits because of a ...
STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS OF TURBO-MACHINES presents a detailed and comprehensive treatment of structural vibration evaluation of turbo-machines. Starting with the fundamentals of the theory of vibration as related to various aspects of rotating machines, the dynamic analysis procedures of a broad spectrum of turbo-machines is covered. An in-depth procedure for analyzing the torsional and flexural oscillations of the components and of the rotor-bearing system is ...
This book primarily written to meet the needs of practicing engineers in a large variety of industries where reciprocating machines are used, although all of the material is suitable for college undergraduate level design engineering courses. It is expected that the reader is familiar with basic to medium level calculus offered at the college undergraduate level. The first chapter of the book deals with classical vibration theory, starting with a single degree of ...
