ROTOR DYNAMICS
The Basics and the Practical
“The expected and unexpected behavior of rotating machinery”
Welcome to a sample of charts from my Rotor Dynamics one-day short
course.  These charts are representative of a few of the topics which can
be seen in
COURSE AGENDA link.  This course examines the practical and
analytical aspects of rotating machinery dynamics and is designed for a
broad audience  who need to become familiar with a discipline that is an
integral part of the design, development, assembly, and field service of
nearly every product with rotating shafts.  Please click on the titled links
