Rotor rub can result in serious damage such as a shaft failure. Bending moments associated with shaft bow caused by rubs can lead to high stresses on the ...
Aeroderivative gas turbines (GT) generally use rolling-element bearings. These machines should be modeled as rotor assemblies supported by nonlinear bearings and installed on flexible bearing supports. Dynamic behavior ...
The major reasons for shaft failure in a turbine can be broken down into the following groups: Mechanical: such as overhung load, bending load, torsional load and axial ...
