Smith, Patrick J.; Whalen, John; Pavelek, Dustin (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)The primary purpose of performing a lateral rotordynamic analysis for centrifugal compressors, steam turbines and other rotating machines is to ensure that there are no undesirable rotor/bearing performance issues that ...

Whalen, John; Hess, Thomas; Allen, Jim; Craighton, Jack (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)Within most plants there is often a desire to extend the time between outages. Several factors determine this but one to consider is the bearings ability to run for the extended time. This Tutorial will address common ...
