Abstract: Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) have been utilized widely to support high-speed rotors. However, in the case of AMB failure, emergencies, or overload conditions, the auxiliary bearing is chosen as the backup protector to ...

Abstract: Shaft seals control the leakage of fluid between areas of high pressure and low pressure around rotating components inside turbomachinery. Static seals are often subject to damaging rubs with the shaft, caused by assembly ...

Abstract: Brush seals control leakage around rotating components from areas of high to low pressure inside turbomachinery. They are known to contribute to the overall stability of gas turbines, therefore their dynamic behavior is ...

Abstract: Recent research into machines involved in power generation processes has demanded deep investigation of model-based techniques for fault diagnosis and identification. The improvement of critical fault characterization is ...
