ISCORMA Reference Materials ISCORMA seminar topics are based on the books "Fundamentals of Rotating Machinery Diagnostics" by Donald E. Bently, P.E. and "Rotordynamics" by Agnieszka (Agnes) Muszynska, Ph.D. Fundamentals of Rotating Machinery Diagnostics By Donald E. Bently
with Charles T. Hatch A practical course in the fundamentals of machinery diagnostics for anyone who works with rotating machinery, from operator to manager, from design engineer to machinery diagnostician. This comprehensive book thoroughly explains and demystifies important concepts needed for effective machinery diagnostics. Need more information or Have a question? VIBRATION FUNDAMENTALS: vibration, phase, and vibration vectors. DATA PLOTS: timebase, average, shaft centerline, polar, Bode, APHT, spectrum, trend, XY, and the orbit. ROTOR DYNAMICS: the rotor model, dynamic stiffness, modes of vibration, anisotropic (asymmetric) stiffness, stability analysis, torsional and axial vibration, and basic balancing. Modern root locus methods, (pioneered by Walter R. Evans) are used throughout the book. MALFUNCTIONS: unbalance, rotor bow high radial loads, misalignment, rub and looseness, fluid-induced instability, and shaft cracks. Hundreds of full color illustrations explain key concepts and several detailed case histories show how these concepts were used to solve real machinery problems. A comprehensive glossary of diagnostic terms is included. 726 pages. Learn more Some of the files may require a PDF reader. Download a free one here.

Rotordynamics advances simple yet adequate models of phenomena taking place in the rotor and its environment. Based on the author's extensive work at Bently Rotordynamics Research Corporation, world-renowned for its innovative and groundbreaking experiments in the field, this book provides realistic models, step-by-step experimental methods, and the principles of vibration monitoring and practical malfunction diagnostics. It covers extended rotor models, fluid-related phenomena, and other dynamic phenomena such as balancing. The author illustrates practical diagnoses of several possible malfunctions and emphasizes correct interpretation of computer-generated numerical results.
