Vibration Analysis of Rotors

Concerning the topic of rotor dynamics, this book examines rotor problems through vibration analysis and emphasizes the analytical aspects. The book is therefore very useful as an advanced course/self-study book on rotor dynamics for readers with a good knowledge of vibration analysis. The text introduces simple rotor systems and gradually progresses to the complex systems, with a description of all analytical solutions for discrete and continuous rotor systems. A chapter is devoted to the introduction of lambda matrices, which allow a unified approach to the rotor vibration problems examined later in the book. The book should be of interest to graduate-level mechanical engineers, either on rotor dynamic courses or who need a reference text.
