    • API 670 5th Edition - An In-Depth Review and Tutorial 
      Hattenbach, Timothy J.; Sabin, Steve; House, Matthew; Blotenberg, Wilfried; McKinney, Ray; Kamphaus, Rich; Horn, Deane; Howard, Brian; McWhirter, David J. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
    • Investigation of a Compressor Coupling Failure by Torsional Excitation 
      Morgan, Christopher; Bullock, Jeremy; Teo, Woon-Lip; Howard, Brian; Hill, Charles (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)
      This case study examines a repeat compressor coupling failure that was a result of a complex, dynamic interaction of components that excited the 2nd torsional natural frequency of the train. The mature unit had operated ...
    • Measuring and Modeling Vertical Crosshead Vibration in API-618 Reciprocating Compressors 
      Howard, Brian; Hatch, Charles; Yonker, Gregory; Philips, Kevin (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
      Reciprocating compressors constructed to API-618 standards find application in refineries, petrochemical plants, and pipelines around the world. These compressors are constructed with a force-fed lubricated crosshead that ...
    • TT08 - Motor/Generator Set Non-Contacting Torsional Vibration Measurements 
      O’Connor, David; Howard, Brian; Durantay, Lionel; Turnbeaugh, Lysle; Cowan, Trevor; Malakhova, Olga; Gerard, Remy; Goulu, Emmanuel (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])
      Owners of variable frequency drive (VFD) trains report challenges in detecting and monitoring shaft stress resulting from drive harmonics and inter harmonic distortion interactions with shaft torsional natural frequencies ...
