Course Description

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.  
 
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Rotor Dynamics and Bearing Analysis. It covers the rotor dynamics, classification and types of rotor systems and vibration fundamentals in rotating machinery; the critical speeds and mode shapes, bearing types and applications; the bearing forces and their effects on rotor behavior covering load support and force transmission, stiffness and damping characteristics, misalignment and its impact and thermal effects and expansion considerations; and the finite element modeling of rotors, transfer matrix method and system parameter sensitivity analysis. 
 
During this interactive course, participants will learn the response prediction to unbalance, single-plane and multi-plane balancing and field balancing procedures and tools; the instability and nonlinear phenomena in rotors covering oil whip and oil whirl, rub and contact-related instability, gyroscopic and cross-coupling effects and detection and mitigation techniques; the vibration signature analysis, orbit and waterfall plots, shaft centerline and bode plot interpretation and trending and predictive maintenance applications; and the bearing failure modes and root cause analysis for fatigue, wear, and lubrication failure, misalignment and thermal effects, contamination and overload and failure prevention and reliability improvement
