    • Balance This! Case Histories From Difficult Balance Jobs. 
      Feese, Troy D.; Grazier, Phillip E. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
      There are many good references for classical balance problems; however, specific ways of handling non-ideal conditions are rarely presented. Therefore, this tutorial focuses on six case histories, which illustrate actual ...
    • Balancing Of Integral Gear-Driven Centrifugal Compressors. 
      Schneider, Hatto (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1986)
      Due to the complex dynamic behavior of gear-driven centrifugal turbocompressors, selection of the proper balancing and assembly procedures is essential to obtain a smoothly running rotor. Rigid and flexible balancing ...
    • Balancing Of Multimass Flexible Rotors 
      Gunter, E. J.; Barrett, L. E.; Allaire, P. E. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
      In this paper, we will consider only the problem of synchronous rotor response due to unbalance. There are numerous complex nonsynchronous vibrations that can occur in rotating machinery. Quite often the nonsynchronous ...
