Rotordynamic Modeling and Analysis Procedures : A Review

The dynamics of high speed rotating machinery, generally referred to as rotordynamics, has developed into an important area of specialization within the general area of dynamics.This development started with the construction of the first waterwheels and windmills several thousand years ago and progressed rapidly during the past two hundred years with the introduction gas turbines and other high speed rotating equipment.A review is presented of some of the modeling and analysis procedures that have been developed to provide a means for understanding and simulation of the characteristics of rotordynamic systems.
