Analysis of Rotor Systems

Rajiv Tiwari was born in 1967 at Raipur in Madhya Pradesh. India. He graduated in B.E. in 1988 (Mechanical Engineering) from Ravishankar University, Raipur and M.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) in 1991 and Ph.D. (Mechanical Engineering) in 1997 from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India. He worked as Research Officer at University of Wales, Swansea, UK for one year in 2001 on deputation. He was elevated to Associate Professor in 2002 and to Professor in 2007 at IIT Guwahati. He has been deeply involved in research area of Rotor Dynamics (i.e. especially on Identification of mechanical system parameters, e.g. the bearings, seals and rotor crack dynamic parameters, Fault diagnosis of machine components like bearings, gears, pumps, and induction motor and application of active magnetic bearings in condition monitoring of rotating machinery). His research area also includes rolling element bearing design and analysis for high-speed applications. He has completed three projects from Aeronautical Research & Development Board (ARDB), India on these topics. He has been offering consultancy for last several years to Indian industries like Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Trivandrum; Combat Vehicle R&D Establish (CVRDE) Chennai; Tata Bearings, Kharagpur; apart from other local industries in the northeast of India. One of the European power industries the Skoda Power, Czech Republic has also taken consultancy of seal dynamic parameter estimation for steam turbine applications.Dr. Tiwari has been author of over 130 journal and conference papers.
