Vibration Control Engineering

This book applies vibration engineering to turbomachinery, covering installation, maintenance and operation. With a practical approach based on clear theoretical principles and formulas, the book is an essential how-to guide for all professional engineers dealing with vibration issues within turbomachinery.

Autorentext

Ernesto Novillo has a strong academic background and field experience in power

plants, cement industry, oil fields and naval ship propulsion, where vibration

problems are significant. A former Naval officer, he earned two university engineering

degrees: Electrical-Electronics (Summa Cum Laude) and Mechanical.

Working for General Electric, he delivered large energy engineering projects to

many countries in Asia, Europe, and America throughout his long professional

career. He was a university professor of Automatic Control Systems and Oil

Engineering. His experience encompasses living in several countries, where he

assumed important management positions. He has published books about relativity

science and turbine engineering. In this book, Ernesto combines vibration

theory with his valuable experience in land and marine machinery and automatic

control systems.
