Flow Induced Vibration Of Power And Process Plant Components

Flow-Induced Vibration of Power and Process Plant Componentsis an indispensable, single source of information on the mostcommon flow-induced vibration problems in power and process plantcomponents. Based on the author?s own experience that mosterrors in engineering analysis come from confusions in the units,the book begins with a short chapter on units and dimensions. It also provides step-by-step examples in dual US and SIunits, leading to the final objective of design analysis, problemsolving, diagnosis, and trouble shooting covering: Fundamentals ofvibration; Acoustics and structural dynamics; Vibration ofstructures in quiescent fluids; Vortex-induced vibration;Turbulence-induced vibration; Impact, fatigue, and wear caused byflowinduced vibration; Acoustically induced vibration; Signalanalysis and diagnostic techniques. CONTENTS INCLUDE: The kinematics of vibration and acoustics Fundamentals of structural dynamics Vortex-induced vibration Fluid-elastic instability of tube bundles Axial and leakage-flow-induced vibrations Impact, fatigue and wear Signal analysis and diagnostic techniques
