Reviewers say: "This is an outstanding piece of work. I like the organized format, industrial applicability, up-to-date technical content, and readability. What is particularly refreshing is the fact that this will be a book like no other published." - Ronald Eshleman, President and Director of the Vibration Institute. "...Goes far beyond the scope of most texts in the field and far beyond the scope of most textbooks written by academics. The author should be warmly commended for the rigour and balance he has achieved." - A. N. Paterson, retired Applications Engineering Manager, Alstom.No other reference can match Duncan N. Walker's "Torsional Vibration of Turbomachinery" for problem-solving - and problem-preventing - expertise. In this in-depth resource, the former Rolls-Royce and General Electric Power Systems engineer delivers useful solutions developed over a lifetime's work and research in controlling torsional vibrations in rotating machinery.For practical answers to preventing excessive damage, failure and noise due to vibrations in machines, look inside and find: state-of-the-art methods for vibration prediction, measurement, and monitoring and fatigue analysis; mathematical methods for torsional vibration modelling; calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes; clear presentation of forced response analysis; machine torsional vibration design rules; collected design modification strategies; application case studies; and in-depth interpretation of computer-generated results. It is the ultimate reference for torsional vibration control.
