Covering topics such as nonshell structures and natural frequencies and modes, this text examines all issues related to the design and performance of vibrating shells and structures.

Positive displacement compressors are the most common type of compressor for commercial applications and among the most important in industrial use. Effective control of noise and vibration stems from a deep understanding of their sources, effects, and behavior in the compressor's various components. Based on more than 30 years of research and practical experience, Sound and Vibrations of Positive Displacement Compressors is the first book to combine theory and design guidelines dedicated solely to compressors.
After introducing the sound- and vibration-producing mechanisms common to...
