The aim of the book is to give an up-to-date review of rotor dynamics, dealing with basic topics as well as a number of specialized topics usually available only in journal articles. Part I deals with the classical topics of rotor dynamics, the dynamic behavior of linear, steady state rotating machines; simple models as well systems with many degrees of freedom obtained from finite element models. Part II, advanced rotor dynamics deals with some specialized topics on rotors, bearings, discs and blades.
From the reviews:
"This comprehensive book deals with the theory of dynamics of rotating systems. ... The author attempts to model the dynamic behaviour of all rotating bodies, including not only shafts and turbine motors but also rotating blades and flexible spinning spacecraft. ... Without hesitation, this book is recommended to researchers and engineers whose work involves modelling and analysis of rotating systems. The book is definitely a valuable text for graduate students studying rotor dynamics and for those pursuing their own novel approaches."
