Short description of the content:
The monograph presents a concept and research tool having the form of a coherent computer environment, bearing the name of MESWIR, which can be used for analysing the dynamic state of rotating machines within the linear and, most of all, non-linear range.
What is characteristic of the book is that it proposes a uniform and continuous model of system operation within the entire range of rotating machine rotational speed, including conditions when the stability limit is exceeded. This way, using one research tool we can analyse both qualitative transformation of the vibration pattern after the system exceeds the stability limit, and generation of non-elliptical displacement trajectories and complex vibration spectra within the stable regime of machine operation.
The present book includes voluminous material recorded during the experiments performed on real objects. Publishing this material was only possible due to author’s cooperation with the domestic power industry and with over ten research teams, within the framework of large all-Polish Government Projects.
Of extreme importance here was the long lasting cooperation with ALSTOM Power Sp. z o.o., having their seats in Elbląg (Poland). The engineering and servicing staff of the company took direct participation in the investigations carried out on real objects, and in formulating assumptions for new research tools to be developed. Verifying the research tools presented in the monograph would not have been possible without the cooperation with the company.
Part of the computer system MESWIR (for comprehensive modelling of the line of rotors and slide bearings within the linear range) is made available for the Readers in the form of the CD included to the book. This provides opportunities for all interested to construct, on their own, selected characteristics of rotor and slide bearings.
