Some Rotor dynamic terminology:


Axial vibrations Torsional vibrations

Lateral vibrations

Concepts used in Rotor Dynamics: Basic principles of vibrations Knowledge of how a fluid film bearing works Influence of bearings on the dynamics of the machine Influence of labyrinth and damper seals on the dynamics of the machine

Some Rotor dynamic terminology:


Rotor: rotating element consisting of shaft, impellers/disks, shrunk-on components like sleeves, balance piston, etc. Bearings: Journal bearings support the rotor in the lateral direction. (Thrust bearings support the axial load of the rotor while in operation.)

Some Rotor dynamic terminology (Contd.):


Natural frequency: Frequency at which the system vibrates. The frequency of vibration of a system (e.g. rotor-bearing system) with damping is called the damped natural frequency.

Critical speed: Is a natural frequency with an active enough response that the natural frequency should be designed around.

Stability: The stability of a system is defined as the reaction to any external perturbation.
