A guide to bearing dynamic coefficients in rotordynamics that includes
various computation methods
Bearing Dynamic Coefficients in Rotordynamics delivers an
authoritative guide to the fundamentals of bearing and bearing dynamic
coefficients containing various computation methods. Three of the most
popular and state-of-the-art methods of determining coefficients are
discussed in detail. The computation methods covered include an
experimental linear method created by the author, and numerical linear
and nonlinear methods using the finite element method. The author--a
renowned expert on the topic--presents the results and discusses the
limitations of the various methods.
Accessibly written, the book provides a clear analysis of the
fundamental phenomena in rotor dynamics and includes many illustrations
from numerical analysis and the results of the experimental research.
Filled with practical examples, the book also includes a companion
website hosting code used to calculate the dynamic coefficients of
journal bearings. This important book:
- Covers examples of different computation methods, presents results,
and discusses limitations of each
- Reviews the fundamentals of bearing and bearing dynamic coefficients
- Includes illustrations from the numerical analysis and results of the
experimental research
- Offers myriad practical examples and a companion website
Written for researchers and practitioners working in rotordynamics,
Bearing Dynamic Coefficients in Rotordynamics will also earn a place
in the libraries of graduate students in mechanical and aerospace
engineering who seek a comprehensive treatment of the foundations of
this subject.
