Book SynopsisDem Verfasser der ersten, 1942 erschienenen Auflage des vorliegenden Werkes, Herrn Dr. lng. HANS KREMSER, war es infolge seiner beruflichen Überlastung nicht möglich, die Neubearbeitung des seit langem vergriffenen Bandes selbst zu übernehmen. Deshalb hat der Herausgeber der Sammlung "Die Verbrennungskraftmaschine", Herr Professor DipI.-lng. Dr. techno Dr. techno h. C. HANS LIST, mich mit dieser Aufgabe betraut; es ist mir ein Bedürfnis, Herrn Professor LIST für das große Vertrauen, das er damit in mich gesetzt hat, an dieser Stelle meinen besonderen Dank auszusprechen. Der außerordentliche Fortschritt auf dem Gebiet der raschlaufenden Verbrennungs­ kraftmaschine seit dem Erscheinen der ersten Auflage und die Vielzahl neuer Motoren, die seither in Produktion gegangen sind, machten eine so weitgehende Umarbeitung des Bandes notwendig, daß es sich bei der zweiten Auflage praktisch um ein neues Buch handelt. Der Schwerpunkt der Ausführungen und der Beispiele liegt, meinen eigenen Erfahrungen und Erkenntnissen entsprechend, auf dem Gebiet der raschlaufenden Dieselmotoren. Die Voraussagen Herrn Dr. KREMSERS über die Weiterentwicklung dieser Motoren sind in vielen Fällen Wirklichkeit geworden.Table of ContentsA. Einleitung.- B. Grundlagen und Bestimmung der Hauptabmessungen.- C. Bauteile.- D.

Book SynopsisBuilding on the previous volume “Vibrations of Rotating Machinery - Volume 1. Basic Rotordynamics: Introduction to Practical Vibration Analysis,” this book is intended for all practical designers and maintenance experts who are responsible for the reliable manufacturing and operation of rotating machinery. It opens with the dynamics of oil film bearings and their influences on unbalance, vibration resonance and the stability of rotor whirl motion. Subsequently, the book introduces readers to vibration diagnosis techniques for traditional ball bearings and active vibration control from magnetic bearings. Case studies on vibration problems and troubleshooting in industrial turbo machines are then presented and explained, showing rotor designers how to eliminate instability and modify resonance characteristics. Torsional vibration and other coupled vibration phenomena are discussed, and vibration measurement techniques and related signal processing procedures for vibration diagnosis are provided. Our latest three topics are included, covering: (a) the importance of the modeling order reduction (MOR) technique; (b) the approximate evaluation for oil-wheel/whip instability; and (c) a systematic method for shafting-blading coupled vibration analyses. In closing, a 100-question trial test is supplied as an example of the certification of vibration experts based on the ISO standard.Table of ContentsBasics of plain bearings.- Unbalance vibration of a rotor in plain bearings.- Stability of a rotor in plain bearings.- Vibration due to rolling bearings.- Vibration in active magnetic bearing rotor systems.- Case studies of forced vibration problems.- Case studies of self-excited vibration problems.- Torsional vibration and related coupled vibration.- Signal processing for rotor vibration diagnosis.- Trial examination for vibration expert certification.- Rotor vibration analysis program: MyROT.

Book SynopsisThis book opens with an explanation of the vibrations of a single degree-of-freedom (dof) system for all beginners. Subsequently, vibration analysis of multi-dof systems is explained by modal analysis. Mode synthesis modeling is then introduced for system reduction, which aids understanding in a simplified manner of how complicated rotors behave. Rotor balancing techniques are offered for rigid and flexible rotors through several examples. Consideration of gyroscopic influences on the rotordynamics is then provided and vibration evaluation of a rotor-bearing system is emphasized in terms of forward and backward whirl rotor motions through eigenvalue (natural frequency and damping ratio) analysis. In addition to these rotordynamics concerning rotating shaft vibration measured in a stationary reference frame, blade vibrations are analyzed with Coriolis forces expressed in a rotating reference frame. Other phenomena that may be assessed in stationary and rotating reference frames include stability characteristics due to rotor internal damping and instabilities due to asymmetric shaft stiffness and thermal unbalance behavior.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Single degree-of-freedom rotor.- Modal analysis for multi degree-of-freedom rotor.- Mode synthesis and related modeling.- Unbalance vibration and balancing.- Gyroscopic effects on rotor vibrations.- Approximate eigenvalue evaluation of a rotor-bearing system.- Vibration evaluation using open-loop characteristics.- Transformation from inertial coordinate to rotating coordinate frames of reference.- Vibration of blade and impeller systems.- Basic topics on rotor stability.

Book SynopsisSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS WITH THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD Linear Statics Volume 1 : The Basis and Solids Eugenio Oñate The two volumes of this book cover most of the theoretical and computational aspects of the linear static analysis of structures with the Finite Element Method (FEM). The content of the book is based on the lecture notes of a basic course on Structural Analysis with the FEM taught by the author at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain for the last 30 years. Volume1 presents the basis of the FEM for structural analysis and a detailed description of the finite element formulation for axially loaded bars, plane elasticity problems, axisymmetric solids and general three dimensional solids. Each chapter describes the background theory for each structural model considered, details of the finite element formulation and guidelines for the application to structural engineering problems. The book includes a chapter on miscellaneous topics such as treatment of inclined supports, elastic foundations, stress smoothing, error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement techniques, among others. The text concludes with a chapter on the mesh generation and visualization of FEM results. The book will be useful for students approaching the finite element analysis of structures for the first time, as well as for practising engineers interested in the details of the formulation and performance of the different finite elements for practical structural analysis.
