Synopsis
A guide to bearing dynamic coefficients in rotordynamics that includes various computation methods
Bearing Dynamic Coefficients in Rotordynamics offers an authoritative guide to the fundamentals of bearing and bearing dynamic coefficients, and contains various computation methods. The current state-of-the-art and three of the most popular 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 noted expert on the topic presents results and discusses the limitations of the various methods.
Designed to be an accessible resource, 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 explores dynamic coefficients in rotordynamics with three different computation methods.
