Gearbox Vibrations

This book familiarizes readers with the causes and effects of vibration in turbine-driven gearboxes and how to troubleshoot and remedy problems in the field and in design. It covers both theory and practice and presents a wide range of examples, explaining how vibration problems arise in power-generating equipment and how they are evaluated, quantified, and resolved. The content is well-suited for engineers and technicians who build, operate, and maintain turbine-driven systems used for power generation as well as propulsion. The tutorial style in which the information is presented also makes the book a potentially effective text for the study of high-speed gearbox design and application.
