Torsional Rotordynamics Of Machinery Equipment Strings
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
One of the foremost concerns facing rotating equipment users today is that of torsional vibration. In contrast to lateral
vibration, torsional vibration is rarely monitored. As a result, torsional failures can be especially ...
API High Speed Balancing Acceptance Criteria and Pedestal Dynamics
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Acceptance criteria for high-speed balancing of turbomachinery are specified in API standards based on either pedestal velocity or shaft displacement. In addition to performing balancing, the measured displacements can ...
