The book is a text/reference for rotating machinery vibrations and related topics such as bearings and seals with information suitable for both novices and experts. It contains fundamental physical phenomena, mathematical and computational aspects, practical hardware considerations and troubleshooting and instrumentation and measurement techniques. Case studies of vibration problems in several different types of machines are included as well as computer simulation models used in industry. With applicable theory supplying the tools for success, Machine Vibration and Rotordynamics is a must have for engineers and designers.
Dr. JOHN M. VANCE was professor of mechanical engineering at Texas A&M University, retiring in 2007. He received his PhD (1967) degree from The University of Texas at Austin. His book Rotordynamics of Turbomachinery (Wiley) has sold more than 3,000 copies and is used by turbomachinery engineers around the world. He is an inventor on several patents relating to rotating machinery and vibration reduction. His patented TAMSEAL has been retrofitted to solve vibration problems in a number of high-pressure industrial compressors. He is an ASME Fellow and a registered professional engineer in the state of Texas.
Dr. FOUAD Y. ZEIDAN is the President of KMC, Inc., and Bearings Plus, Inc., two companies specializing in the supply of high-performance bearings, flexible couplings, and seals. Dr. Zeidan holds nine U.S. patents for integral squeeze film dampers and high-performance journal and thrust bearings. He has published more than thirty technical papers and articles on various turbomachinery topics and has been lecturing at the Annual Machinery Vibrations and Rotordynamics short course since 1991. Dr. Zeidan holds a BS, MS, and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M University.
BRIAN T. MURPHY, PhD, PE, is a senior research scientist with the Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin. He is also president of RMA, Inc., which develops and markets the Xlrotor suite of rotordynamic analysis software used worldwide by industry and academia. Dr. Murphy is the creator of the polynomial transfer matrix method, which is the fastest known method of performing rotordynamic calculations. He has authored numerous technical papers on rotordynamics and machinery vibration, and is also caretaker of the Web site www.rotordynamics.org.
