Workshop Overview
This workshop will provide you with a new perspective on design analysis, maintenance optimization and efficient operation of rotating equipment. When dealing with rotating equipment, it is no secret that downtime is expensive. Regardless of the precautions you have taken and preventive maintenance practices you have implemented, sometimes problems develop, particularly with vibration. Techniques will be presented in the workshop to enable you to diagnose, correct, and prevent vibration problems. In order to help your organization formulate hasty and cost effective solutions to increase your equipment’s mean time before failure as well as avoid problems with new equipment, the technique of ‘virtual prototyping’ will be introduced and presented as a highlight of this workshop.
Workshop Facilitator Profile
He is the founder and President of DynaTech Engineering, Inc. and is currently responsible for the technical direction and business development of the company. He is an expert in the mechanical design and analysis of rotating equipment such as turbines, pumps, generators, motors, compressors, gearboxes, and cryogenic turbopumps. His career spans over 30 years focused on the dynamics of rotating machinery, including vibration analysis and the application of rolling element or fluid film bearings. He was the principal investigator on several US Air Force and NASA research projects involved with the development of rotor dynamics software, the successful demonstration of a 90,000 rpm oil-free bearing, the enhancement of a rolling element bearing analysis code, and the application of a unique damping treatment to a turbine airfoil. He is proficient in the acquisition, diagnosis and correlation of test data on machines for acceptance, troubleshooting, and resolution of vibration and noise problems. Mr. Greenhill is accomplished with commercial finite element programs such as NASTRAN for stress analysis and dynamic response used in design studies, fatigue life prediction, and failure investigations. He is a registered Professional Mechanical Engineer in California and a member of the Hydraulic Institute Vibration Committee (pump rotor dynamics standards).
