Overview
This book covers using practical computational techniques for simulating behavior of rotational structures for increased fidelity and performance. Applications of rotor dynamics are associated with important energy industry machinery, such as generators and wind turbines, as well as airplane engines and propellers. Based on the finite element method, techniques are presented for modeling and computation of forces associated with the rotational phenomenon. State of the art engineering software used for computational simulation is also discussed, and eigenvalue analysis techniques used for numerical accuracy of the simulations are explored.

Reviews
Aeronautical engineers Vollan and Komzsik have worked in many companies designing rotors that blow wind or that wind turns and have cooperated on several projects over the past quarter century. From that collaboration, they explain how to apply modern analysis tools such as finite elements to the rotational behavior of flexible bodies ... -SciTech News, Vol. 66, September 2012
Author Information
Arne Vollan studied aeronautical engineering at the Technical University of Trondheim (Norway) and Aachen (Germany), and holds the degree Diplom Ingenieur. He was employed by several aeronautical companies such as VFW-Fokker (now Airbus), Helicopter Technik Muenchen, Dornier, Nationaal Lucht- en Ruimtevaartlaboratorium, and Pilatus Aircraft as a dynamic and aeroelastic specialist. He was also a consultant and developed programs for the analysis of rotating structures like wind turbines and propellers. Since 2002 he has been working at AeroFEM GmbH in Switzerland on rotor dynamics and the aeroelasticity of aircraft and large wind turbines. Louis Komzsik is a graduate of the Technical University of Budapest with an engineering degree and the Eötvös University of Sciences in Budapest with a mathematics degree, and he holds a Doctorate from the Technical University of Budapest, Hungary. He was employed by the Hungarian Shipyards from 1972 to 1980 and worked at the McDonnell-Douglas Corporation in 1981 and 1982. He was the chief numerical analyst at the MacNeal-Schwendler (now MSC Software) Corporation for two decades. Since 2003 he has been the chief numerical analyst at Siemens PLM Software. For the past 30 years he has been the architect of the modern numerical methods of NASTRAN, the world’s leading finite element analysis tool in structural engineering.
