Machine- and Rotordynamics

Description

The subject of machinedynamics is the description and analysis of dynamic phenomena in technical systems. The goals pursued are manifold and range from the reduction of vibration load - and thus improvement of acoustics, comfort or fatigue strength - to the derivation of control models and the increase of efficiency by extending the operating range (e.g. increasing the limiting speed, etc.).

 

The course deals with typical phenomena, modeling and analysis approaches of machinedynamics. It builds on and continues the lecture "Engineering Vibrations". Due to its great importance in practice, the course focuses on rotordynamics.
