Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook For Nuclear And Process Equipment

Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear and Process Equipment is a comprehensive reference that helps readers understand the parameters and mechanisms that govern flow-induced vibration and learn the techniques that can be utilized during the design stage to prevent failures and fatigue due to flow-induced vibration. Written by a group of leading experts in the field, the book covers all relevant aspects of flow-induced vibration technology, including vibration failures, flow velocity analysis, vibration excitation mechanisms, fluidelastic instability, periodic wake shedding, acoustic resonance, random turbulence, damping mechanisms, and fretting-wear predictions. In-depth coverage of each topic includes the latest available lab data, theoretical considerations and modeling, parametric analysis, recommendations for design, and sample calculations.
