Abstract: It has been claimed in the past that one of the main concerns regarding the use of galvanized reinforcement is a possible decrease of the rebar/concrete bond strength. The available results in the literature are contradictory ...

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: A laboratory rotor, representing a scaled-down model of a three-stage compressor supported by fluid film bearings on anisotropic flexible supports was analyzed. The support characteristics were ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the effects of bearing support flexibility on rotor stability and unbalance response is presented. A flexible rotor supported by fluid film bearings on flexible supports ...

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: The experimental identification of a long flexible rotor with three magnetic bearing journals is presented. Frequency response functions are measured between the magnetic bearing journals and the ...
