This work presents a review of rotordynamics and bearings (focusing in
aerostatic bearings) based on Chiarelli (2014). During the chapters the
analytical and numerical models are presented in order to teach to the
reader how to approach problems involving static and dynamic
characterization and prediction of rotor assemblies. The numerical
models are implemented in common use software such as ANSYS(R) and
MATLAB(R) and the programs are shown at the end of the work.
