"This second edition with about 25% updated and new content offers wide-ranging coverage of fundamental rotordynamics in order to provide engineers with the necessary knowledge to eliminate various vibration problems. The authors provide a classification of rotating shaft systems and general coverage of key ideas common to all branches of rotordynamics. They also provide a unique analysis of dynamical problems, such as nonlinear rotordynamics, self-excited vibration, nonstationary vibration, and flow-induced oscillations. Nonlinear resonances are discussed in detail, as well as methods for shaft stability and various theoretical derivations and computational methods for analyzing rotors to determine and correct vibrations."-- Provided by publisher.
