PRACTICAL ROTOR DYNAMICS FOR USERS

摘要

Following a brief overview of the history of the development of key aspects of rotorrndynamic technology, this paper describes ways to estimate critical speeds, and cipherrnthem from resonances and other vibration phenomena. The influence of various bearingrntypes on a rotor's synchronous and non-synchronous dynamics is reviewed. Targetrnaudiences for this material are those most likely to be making and interpreting vibrationrnmeasurements - in other words, machinery users and maintainers.
