This book starts with the invention of the wheel nearly 5000 years ago, and via Archimedes, Aristotle and Hero describes the first practical applications such as water wheels and grinding wheels, pushing on to more rigorous scientific research by inquiring minds such as Leonardo da Vinci and Copernicus in later ages. Newton and Leibniz followed, and beam structures received maximum attention three centuries ago. As focus shifts and related disciplines such as mathematics and physics also develop, slowly turbomachines and rotor and blade dynamics as we know the subject now take shape. While...

This book aims at outlining the steps involved in estimating blade life. The blade life estimation is a multifaceted technology involving free and forced vibrations of blades, damping, aerodynamic and mechanical excitation forces that lead to the determination of steady and dynamic stresses at different critical speeds during the startup and shutdown procedures as well as in the operational speed range. These steps are clearly explained for different variety of blades using special computer codes or commercially available finite element packages. The life of a blade is then determined by...
