Rotor Dynamics Self-Paced Video Course

This comprehensive course covers rotor dynamics analysis and bearings simulation for different types of rotors and bearings (journal, thrust. gas, rolling elements, etc). It covers rotor dynamic fundamentals, rotor balancing, basic design rules, analysis according to API and other standards, bearing simulation aspects and more.

Rotordynamics

The goal of this self-paced course is to provide engineers with a better understanding of rotor dynamics and bearing analysis at a theoretical level.

"A most useful and interesting educational course backed up by excellent course text with helpful examples. The course content covered all of the basic fundamentals and was delivered at a pace that allowed the information to be digested ensuring a full understanding. The lecturers were extremely helpful and were more than willing to answer any questions. Overall a very good insight into fundamentals. I look forward to working with you again and hope that I might be on a training course on the use of AxSTREAM again soon. "

"Because the course was divided in a fundamental theory part and a more practical software part, I was able to concentrate on the most important equations and principles before using them in the software. The fundamentals were a good basis for further study and extensive; All main functions and results of AxSTREAM were understandable afterwards. And where not, further explanation was plentiful."
