Abstract: A computationally efficient strategy is presented for adjusting analytic rotordynamic models to make them consistent with experimental data. The approach permits use of conventional rotordynamic ...

Abstract: Magnetic bearings have relatively low power consumption compared to fluid film and rolling element bearings. They are now candidates for supporting gas turbines and aeropropulsion engines. This ...

Abstract: Synchronous response estimation attempts to determine the forced response (displacement) of a rotor at critical points which cannot be measured directly. This type of prediction, if accurate and ...

Abstract: A fault tolerant magnetic bearing system was developed and demonstrated on a large flexible-rotor test rig. The bearing system comprises a high speed, fault tolerant digital controller, three ...
