Introduction to Gas Turbines & Centrifugal Compressors
Monday-Tuesday, February 27 – 28, 2012
Instructors: Dr. Klaus Brun and Jason Gatewood
This two day class is a unique opportunity to join the experts to learn what you need to know to apply and operate gas turbines and gas compressors in your operation as well as to interact and network with your peers in the field of turbomachinery applications.
There will also be an opportunity for hands-on learning using Southwest Research Institute’s gas turbines and compressors.
Root Cause Failure Analysis
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Instructors: David Ransom, Dr. Harold Simmons and Dr. Dan Hopkins
A thorough RCFA investigation utilizes multidisciplinary expertise of metallurgical examination, fluid-structure interaction, fatigue and fracture analysis, corrosion assessment, thermodynamics, and structural dynamics. This course will show how the information gained from each discipline can be combined to reach a conclusive determination of the root cause of common gas turbine failures.
Rotordynamics & Blade Dynamics
Thursday, March 1, 2012
Instructors: Dr. Jeff Moore, Dr. Tim Allison and Stephen James
This class presents a detailed description of many topics in rotor and blade dynamics, including the following topics:
• Basic vibration theory
• Common methods for analyzing turbomachinery vibration data
• Measurement and analysis techniques for both blade and rotordynamics
• Diagnostic and corrective procedures such as modal testing and balancing
• Vibration analysis tools such as Bode plots, polar plots, vibration spectra, Campbell diagrams, and SAFE diagrams
Performance Testing & Field Dynamics Troubleshooting
Friday, March 2, 2012
Instructors: Justin Hollingsworth and Dr. Sean Tavares
This course will provide a practical introduction to gas turbine and compressor performance testing and using dynamic data to troubleshoot machinery problems in the field. The course includes both lecture time as well as demonstrations of data evaluation techniques used during testing of typical compression trains. Emphasis is placed on unique aspects of evaluating performance at operational field installations.
