"This book applies vibration engineering to turbomachinery, covering installation, maintenance and operation. With a practical approach based on clear theoretical principles and formulas, the book is an essential how-to guide for all professional engineers dealing with vibration issues within turbomachinery. Vibration problems in turbines, large fans, blowers, and other rotating machines are common issues within turbomachinery. Applicable to industries such as oil and gas mining, cement, pharmaceutical and naval engineering, the ability to predict vibration based on frequency spectrum patterns is essential for many professional engineers. In this book, the theory behind vibration is clearly detailed, providing an easy to follow methodology through which to calculate vibration propagation. Describing lateral and torsional vibration and how this impacts turbine shaft integrity, the book uses mechanics of materials theory and formulas alongside the matrix method to provide clear solutions to vibration problems. Additionally, it describes how to carry out a risk assessment of vibration fatigue. Other topics covered include vibration control techniques, the design of passive and active absorbers and rigid, non-rigid and Z foundations. The book will be of interest to professionals working with turbomachinery, naval engineering corps and those working on ISO standards 10816 and 13374. It will also aid mechanical engineering students working on vibration and machine design."--Back cover Cover Half Title Title Page Copyright Page Dedication Table of Contents Preface Acknowledgements About the Author Abbreviations Part I: Vibration Theory of Sdof, Mdof and Continuous Dynamic Systems Chapter 1: Dynamics of Linear SDOF Systems 1.1 Introduction to Machine’s Vibration 1.2 The Basics of Vibrating Systems 1.2.1 Time Response 1.2.1.1 Transient Response Classification 1.2.2 Frequency Response 1.2.3 Vibration Graphical Representation 1.2.3.1 Resonance 1.2.4 Friction Damping 1.2.5 Vibration Causes and Consequences 1.3 Linear Mechanical System Description 1.4 Equation of Motion of Dynamic Systems 1.4.1 Vector Interpretation of the Equation of Motion 1.5 Natural frequency 1.5.1 The Natural Frequency of Linear Systems 1.5.2 The Natural Frequency of Rotating Systems 1.6 Natural Response of Second-Order Systems 1.7 Derivation of the Time Natural Response 1.7.1 Damping Ratio and Damped Frequency 1.7.2 Natural Transient Response Formula 1.7.3 Vector Interpretation of the Natural Time Response 1.7.4 Concepts to Remember Regarding Second-Order Systems 1.7.5 Natural Response and Decay Curves 1.7.5.1 Settling Time and Number of Cycles 1.7.5.2 Decay Ratio 1.7.5.3 The First Peak Time 1.7.5.4 Practical Assessment of Time Parameters 1.8 Transient Response to a Step Force Input 1.8.1 Conceptual Description 1.8.2 Transient Response Formula 1.8.2.1 Equation of Motion for a Step Input Force 1.8.2.2 Natural Response to a Step Input 1.8.3 Transient Response Overshoots to a Unit Step Input 1.9 Transient Response to a Harmonic Force Input 1.9.1 Conservative Vibrating System 1.9.1.1 Resonance of the Forced Response 1.9.2 Non-Conservative Vibrating System 1.9.2.1 Permanent Forced Response 1.9.2.2 Total Vibration 1.9.3 Practical Assessment of a Transient Response 1.9.3.1 Technical Assessment Summary 1.10 Frequency Response 1.10.1 Frequency Response of Second-Order Systems 1.10.2 Frequency Response Charts of Second-Order Systems 1.10.3 Resonance Parameters 1.11 Fundamental vibration forms 1.11.1 Externally Excited Mode 1.11.2 Self-Excited Mode 1.11.2.1 Note About the Recommended Velocities Range 1.11.3 Base-Excited Form 1.11.4 Transmitted Force Mode 1.11.5 Comparison of the Four Fundamental Vibration Forms Notes Chapter 2: Dynamics of Rotating SDOF Systems 2.1 Introduction to Torsional Vibration 2.2 Torsional Vibration of SDOF Systems 2.2.1 Torsional System Response 2.2.1.1 Natural Frequency of Rotating Systems 2.2.1.1.1 Natural Frequency of a Rotor-Shaft Assembly 2.2.1.2 Damping Ratio ζ 2.2.2 Transient Response With a Step Torque Input 2.2.2.1 Torsional Natural Response 2.2.2.2 Transient Response to a Step Torque 2.2.3 Velocity Transient of a Turbine-Generator Set 2.2.4 Frequency Response 2.2.5 Torsional Stress Under Vibration 2.2.6 Cumulative Fatigue Generated by Turbomachines Startup 2.2.7 Multidisciplinary Assessment of Torsional Vibration 2.2.7.1 Technical Scenario 2.2.7.2 Calculation Model 2.2.7.3 Technical Summary Notes Chapter 3: Dynamics of Linear and Rotating MDOF and Continuous Systems 3.1 Introduction to MDOF and Continuous Systems 3.1.1 Discrete Multi-Degree of Freedom Systems 3.1.2 Continuous Systems 3.1.2.1 Stress Waves and Propagation Velocity 3.2 Linear Multi-Degree of Freedom Systems 3.2.1 Matrix Model of Multi-Degree Systems 3.2.2 Natural Frequencies of a System with Three Degrees of Freedom 3.3 Rotating Multi-Degree of Freedom Systems 3.3.1 Natural Frequencies of Two Degrees of Freedom System 3.3.2 Practical Assessment of Natural Frequencies 3.4 The Euler-Bernoulli Equation 3.4.1 Deflections and Efforts at Beam’s Supports 3.4.1.1 Boundary Conditions at Beam Supports 3.4.2 Derivation of the Euler-Bernoulli Equation 3.4.3 Solution to the Euler-Bernoulli Equation 3.4.3.1 Solution to the Spatial Equation 3.4.3.2 Beam’s Vibration Shapes 3.4.3.3 Solution to the Temporal Equation 3.4.3.4 General Solution of the Euler-Bernoulli Equation 3.4.4 Natural Frequencies with the Euler-Bernoulli Equation 3.4.5 Practical Assessment.
