Explains the mechanisms governing flow-induced vibrations and helps
engineers prevent fatigue and fretting-wear damage at the design
stage Fatigue or fretting-wear damage in process and plant
equipment caused by flow-induced vibration can lead to operational
disruptions, lost production, and expensive repairs. Mechanical
engineers can help prevent or mitigate these problems during the
design phase of high capital cost plants such as nuclear power
stations and petroleum refineries by performing thorough
flow-induced vibration analysis. Accordingly, it is critical for
mechanical engineers to have a firm understanding of the dynamic
parameters and the vibration excitation mechanisms that govern
flow-induced vibration. Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear
and Process Equipment provides the knowledge required to prevent
failures due to flow-induced vibration at the design stage. The
product of more than 40 years of research and development at the
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, this authoritative reference covers
all relevant aspects of flow-induced vibration technology,
including vibration failures, flow velocity analysis, vibration
excitation mechanisms, fluidelastic instability, periodic wake
shedding, acoustic resonance, random turbulence, damping
mechanisms, and fretting-wear predictions. Each in-depth chapter
contains the latest available lab data, a parametric analysis,
design guidelines, sample calculations, and a brief review of
modelling and theoretical considerations. Written by a group of
leading experts in the field, this comprehensive single-volume
resource: Helps readers understand and apply techniques for
preventing fatigue and fretting-wear damage due to flow-induced
vibration at the design stage Covers components including nuclear
reactor internals, nuclear fuels, piping systems, and various types
of heat exchangers Features examples of vibration-related failures
caused by fatigue or fretting-wear in nuclear and process equipment
Includes a detailed overview of state-of-the-art flow-induced
vibration technology with an emphasis on two-phase flow-induced
vibration Covering all relevant aspects of flow-induced vibration
technology, Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear and Process
Equipment is required reading for professional mechanical engineers
and researchers working in the nuclear, petrochemical, aerospace,
and process industries, as well as graduate students in mechanical
engineering courses on flow-induced vibration.
