Industrial fans are required for many power plants to operate, such as primary and secondary air fans, and induced draft fans. Understanding rotor dynamics is essential for reliable long-term fan ...

Particle damping has emerged as an effective passive method to suppress unwanted vibrations in a range of engineering applications. By utilising the inelastic collisions and friction between granular ...

Solving insidious vibration problems in rotating equipment may sometimes seem like a black art that requires the right incantation. But identifying the root cause of the vibration is actually a ...

Maglev trains float above their tracks, eliminating wheel–rail contact and allowing speeds far beyond conventional rail. However, this technological advantage comes with an invisible challenge: ...

Nonlinearities are ever-present in various engineering problems and play a crucial role in the analysis, design, and control of engineering systems as they can drastically change the dominant ...
