Nonlinear Dynamics of Rotor Bearing System in Automotive Turbochargers

Turbochargers are widely used in modern vehicle engines for boosting power, improving emission and increasing energy efficiency. Apart from the obvious benefit, the complexity of their nonlinear dynamic behaviours has to be encountered. As a high speed rotating device, a modern turbocharger rotor is commonly supported by floating ring bearings. This book is particularly to focus on analyzing their interesting dynamic behaviours.
