Identification and Control in Rotor Systems : Volume 2

Second volume of the second edition of Rotor systems deals with identification in rotor systems. It covers the unbalanced identification and bearing dynamic parameter identification algorithms, sensors and exciters used in rotor system and related signal conditioning equipment.

The second volume of the second edition of Rotor Systems deals with instability, identification, and control in rotor systems. Instability in rotor system is covered in great details including internal damping. It covers the unbalanced identification and bearing dynamic parameter identification algorithms, sensors and exciters used in rotor systems, and related signal conditioning equipment. The error analysis is discussed in length to understand the associated measurement error. Control of rotor systems, including analysis of simple and multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) rotor systems, has been expanded to include experimentation on the flexible balancing of rotors. Key Features:Instability in rotor system due to various sources. Covers balancing of rigid and flexible rotors with solved examples. Describes various sensors and exciters used in rotor systems and related signal conditioning equipment. Explores signal processing with a special focus on the full spectrum relevant for rotor response analysis. Contains basic information on the condition monitoring of various types of rotating machinery. Reviews control of rotor systems, including the analysis of simple and multi-DOF rotor systems. This book is aimed at senior undergraduate/graduate students in mechanical engineering, rotor dynamics, rotating machinery/turbomachinery, and related fields.
