This course provides a comprehensive study of rotordynamics, focusing on principles, API specifications, and analysis types. Students will learn to read and critique OEM rotordynamic reports, understand vibration concerns, and conduct stability and unbalance response analyses. The course covers rotor modeling, undamped critical speed analysis, and self-excited vibrations. Practical assignments involve critiquing vendor analyses and ensuring machinery meets dynamic performance standards, emphasizing the importance of accurate predictions to mitigate economic impacts.
