Handbook of Machinery Dynamics

Considering a broad range of fundamental factors and conditions influencing the optimal design and operation of machinery, the Handbook of Machinery Dynamics emphasizes the force and motion analysis of machine components in multiple applications. Among many broad application areas, the book reviews machine design for selecting the most appropriate energy transfer mechanisms, examines fluid-structure interactions and ways to prevent structural damage, offers forecasting methods for natural frequencies and mode shapes of blade-disk assemblies as well as axial thrust loads on turbomachine bearings, and addresses damage control, maintenance requirements, and troubleshooting techniques.
