Abstract: This paper considers the problem of properly accounting for the shafting inertia in torsional vibration analysis. It begins with a brief review of the two well-established methods: (1) arbitrarily ...

Abstract: In the design of rotating machinery, it is often necessary to project design changes in order to modify the system torsional natural frequencies. For damped systems, there are additional questions ...

Abstract: A transfer matrix method is presented for the determination of complex eigensolutions associated with the damped torsional vibrations of single shaft machine trains. The system is described and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic analysis of the internal dynamic forces within a V -engine/compressor with articulated power cylinders. All inertial terms are included in the formulation, which ...
