Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Reviewers say:
"This is an outstanding piece of work. I like the organized format, industrial applicability, up-to-date technical content, and readability. What is particularly refreshing is the fact that this will be a book like no other published." — Ronald Eshleman, President and Director of the Vibration Institute
" ...Goes far beyond the scope of most texts in the field and far beyond the scope of most textbooks written by academics. The author should be warmly commended for the rigor and balance he has achieved." — A. N. Paterson, retired Applications Engineering Manager, Alstom AN UNPARALLELED TURBO VIBRATION PROBLEM-SOLVER No other reference can match Duncan N. Walker's Torsional Vibration of Turbomachinery for problem-solving — and problem-preventing — expertise. In this in-depth resource, the former Rolls-Royce and General Electric Power Systems engineer delivers useful solutions developed over a lifetime's work and research in controlling torsional vibrations in rotating machinery. For practical answers to preventing excessive damage, failure and noise due to vibrations in machines, look inside and find:
* State-of-the-art methods for vibration prediction, measurement, and monitoring and fatigue analysis * Mathematical methods for torsional vibration modeling * Calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes * Clear presentation of forced response analysis * Machine torsional vibration design rules * Collected design modification strategies * Application case studies * In-depth interpretation of computer-generated results THE ULTIMATE REFERENCE FOR TORSIONAL VIBRATION CONTROL Book News Annotation:Intended as a text for graduate-level engineering students and as a
reference for practicing engineers involved with machinery rotary
dynamics, this book deals with torsional vibration of rotating
machinery, concentrating mainly on turbomachinery and particularly
large steam turbine-generators. The book also addresses large
machines driven by electric motors, including those with variable
speeds. Analytical techniques for calculating machine parameters to
avoid torsional vibration problems are described, and design rules
are enumerated in general terms. Application case studies and
solutions are included, and appendices review introductory material.
Readers should have background in vibration analysis and matrix
algebra. Walker has served on a variety of American and International
Standards committees dealing with machinery vibration and balancing.

Synopsis:- Torsional vibration mathematical modeling- Forced response analysis- Vibration measurement methods and monitoring- Application case studies- SI units used throughout About the AuthorDuncan Walker is well recognized internationally for knowledge of rotor dynamics, vibration, and balancing, has written numerous technical papers, and has served on a variety of American and International Standards committees dealing with machinery vibration and balancing. Mr. Walker served his industrial career at both Rolls-Royce Aero Engine Division (U.K.) and the General Electric Power Systems Division (U.S.) as an engineer in vibration research and large rotating machinery development and problem solving, as well as on a variety of managerial assignments. He lives in Ballston Lake, New York. Table of ContentsChapter 1. IntroductionChapter 3. Rotating Machinery Torsional CharacteristicsChapter 5. Torsional Vibration Mathematical Modeling Chapter 7.
