For more than a century, we have had a firm grasp on rotor dynamics involving rigid bodies with regular shapes, such as cylinders and shafts. However, to achiev

Rotor dynamics is both a classical and a modern branch of engineering science. The rotation of rigid bodies, mainly those with regular shapes such as cylinders

The purpose of this book is to give a basic understanding of rotor dynamics phenomena with the help of simple rotor models and subsequently, the modern analysis

Provides 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

Enables engineers to understand the dynamics of rotating machines, from basic explanations to detailed numerical models and analysis.
