Locke, Stephen R.; Moreno, Joe; Vázquez, José A. (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)The goal for this tutorial is to show a screening method to determine if shaft misalignment forces, moments and directions are significant with common misalignments. This tutorial paper provides information to calculate the ...

Locke, Stephen R.; Burgess, Michael J.; Corcoran, Joseph P.; Hess, Thomas D. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)While all machine component failures can impact reliability, cost and production, some like coupling failures may have safety risks for personnel. Intervention requires us to build appropriate steps into our machine and ...

Duggan, John B.; Locke, Stephen R. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1995)Evaluations of life cycle costs in typical turbomachinery installations have shown that for reliable machines, energy costs normally far outweigh purchase, installation, and maintenance costs. Experience has shown that ...

Palazzolo, Alan B.; Locke, Stephen R.; Calistrat, Michael; Clark, Robert W.; Ayoub, Akram; Calistrat, Dan; Tang, Punan (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)Gear couplings can produce large static forces and moments that can affect the vibrations of turbomachinery, even with nearly perfect alignment. Research, testing and case histories have verified this theory and are reported. ...

Locke, Stephen R.; Faller, Wolfgang (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)A process recycle gas compressor was needed that would be highly reliable and tolerant of suction contaminants of sticky material that is abrasive and corrosive. Squeeze film dampers, pinched diffusers, and other technologies ...
