Dynamics of Flexible Turbocharger-Floating Ring Bearing System

This new edition on Dynamics of Turbocharger is finite element modeling of a flexible turbocharger rotor supported on floating ring bearings. This book is an outcome of in-depth study of turbocharger dynamics for the dissertation as part of master's program in Design Engineering. It steers an advanced course after the theoretical courses on rotor dynamics and finite element methods. There is prerequisite of basic course on fluid mechanics and detailed understanding of hydrodynamic bearings. In this book, the authors have emphasized basic understanding of different important features of a turbocharger and then how the dynamic behavior of floating ring bearing is impacts vibration behavior of a flexible rotor supporting a turbine and compressor. This book may be very useful who want to do their undergraduate or post-graduate dissertation/thesis in rotor dynamics and wants to develop his own software code and also can prove to be guide to people working in the field of design, manufacturing and maintenance of turbochargers.
