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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
