ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter, a brief history and recent trends in the subject of rotor dynamics was provided. The main objective of the previous chapter was to introduce various phenomena in rotor dynamics so as to have an idea of them before detailed mathematical treatment is provided to comprehensively understand these phenomena. It also briefly introduced various mathematical methodologies, which are used to understand the dynamic behavior of rotor systems, and it summarized the recent and future requirements of the modern high-speed, high-power, and high-reliability rotating machineries.
