Flow-induced vibrations are a significant concern in process and plant equipment, as they 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. Understanding the dynamic parameters and vibration excitation mechanisms that govern flow-induced vibration is critical for mechanical engineers.

The Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear and Process Equipment is a comprehensive single-volume resource that provides the knowledge required to prevent failures due to flow-induced vibration at the design stage. This authoritative reference, produced by the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories over more than 40 years of research and development, covers all relevant aspects of flow-induced vibration technology, including vibration failures, flow velocity analysis, vibration excitation mechanisms, fluid-elastic 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. It covers components such as nuclear reactors, piping systems, heat exchangers, and turbines, and provides practical guidance for designing and operating equipment that is resistant to flow-induced vibration.

By performing flow-induced vibration analysis and understanding the dynamic parameters and vibration excitation mechanisms that govern flow-induced vibration, mechanical engineers can help ensure that process and plant equipment operates safely and efficiently for years to come.
