The vibration phenomena which occur in rotary machines, such as power plants, can result
in catastrophic consequences. Any failure in any power plant section can result in extended …

The rotor–stator rubbing in rotating machinery generated as a consequence of rotor
imbalance, shaft misalignment, and casing deformation is a potential threat to the machinery …

The purpose of this book is to give a basic understanding of rotor dynamics phenomena with
the help of simple rotor models and subsequently, the modern analysis methods for real life …

The safety of turbomachines requires controlling the risks caused by contacts occurring
between fixed and rotating parts. Undesirable phenomena induced by bladed wheel/casing …

An experimental setup is installed to simulate the rotor-to-stator rub of the rotor system. A
special structure of stator is designed that can simulate the condition of the full rub. The …

Impacts generated from the surface of a stator rubbing against the surface of a rotor during
its rotation is a common defective phenomenon which often occurs in a rotating machine …

The nonlinear coupling between bending and torsional vibrations would greatly affect the
dynamic behavior of the rotor system. Different from the traditional way, in this paper the …

The dynamics of a modified Jeffcott rotor is studied, including rotor torsional deformation and
rotor-stator contact. Conditions are studied under which the rotor undergoes either forward …

This paper studies the friction-induced instability and nonlinear dynamics of a heavily-
loaded slow speed propulsion shafting subjected to the uninterrupted contact between the …

Rotor–stator rub and fatigue crack of the shafts are two important rotor faults. They have
detrimental effects on health and reliability of the rotating machinery. In this paper, modelling …
