    • A comparison of Operating Deflection Shape and Motion Amplification Video Techniques for Vibration Analysis 
      Price, Stephen M. (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2022)
      The Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) technique that was derived from Experimental Modal Analysis has served well to assist users in quantifying vibration amplitudes, determining vibration mode shapes, looseness between ...
    • Abnormal Vertical Pump Suction Recirculation Problems Due To Pump-System Interaction 
      Schiavello, Bruno; Smith, Donald R.; Price, Stephen M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
      It is well documented that the proper operation of vertical centrifugal pumps is greatly dependent upon the entire pump/piping system, which includes the piping geometry and the system operating conditions. Oftentimes, ...
    • Centrifugal Pump Vibration Caused By Supersynchronous Shaft Instability 
      Smith, Donald R.; Price, Stephen M.; Kunz, Friedrich K. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
      Many centrifugal pump vibration problems are due to synchronous phenomena such as vane-pass frequency energy and running speed energy. To address such problems, guidelines have been developed to assist with their identification ...
    • The Effects Of Valve Dynamics On Reciprocating Pump Reliability 
      Price, Stephen M.; Smith, Donald R.; Tison, James D. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
      Compared to leading edge technologies such as high speed turbomachinery, reciprocating pumps may appear to be a simple technology: A reciprocating plunger causes liquid to be drawn from a low pressure manifold through the ...
    • Sources And Remedies Of High-Frequency Piping Vibration And Noise. 
      Price, Stephen M.; Smith, Donald R. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
      In large diameter piping, high-frequency energy can produce excessive noise and vibration, and failures of thermowells, instrumentation, and attached small-bore piping. In severe cases, the pipe itself can fracture. Perhaps ...
    • TT09 - A Comparison of Operating Deflection Shape and Motion Amplification Video Techniques for Vibration Analysis 
      Price, Stephen M. (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])
      An introduction to the technology used in Motion Amplification Video (MAV) for vibration analysis of structures and machinery. The MAV technique is compared to the venerable Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) tool that has ...
