Rotordynamics are of great importance in the design, manufacture and

assembly of turbomachines as well as in ensuring their safe operation. Also important are the dynamics of the foundation and its interaction with

the dynamics of the rotor. This book is divided into four parts.

Following a presentation of the basic theory the dynamics of

rotors supported on several bearings. The third part describes

the dynamics of foundations of turbine line-outs and the calculations
for a turbomachine coupled with its foundation. The last part includes a

section on estimation procedures, a comprehensive presentation of the theoryand practice of rotors having a transverse crack, a section on

the mathematical fundamentals and a description of the computer program used for the examples in the book. The book addresses both the practical

engineer and the theoretician and should provide manufacturers,

operators, university and polytechnic lecturers and students with

an understanding of the vibrations of turbomachines. The results are

described in such a way that they can be easily understood and applied.
