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.

Presents case studies and troubleshooting techniques gleaned from the author’s extensive industrial experience!

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
• and more!

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.
