Jorgen W. Lund: Theories Versus Tests

Abstract The contribution of the late Professor Jorgen W. Lund in the field of rotor dynamics and fluid film bearings is presented in a condensed form with the emphasis on the experimental work and results that confirm and support many of Dr. Lund’s theories and analyses. Included are subjects of rotor balancing by the influence method, unbalance response of a flexible rotor, damped critical speeds of flexible rotors and fluid film bearing’s static, dynamic and thermal properties.
