Effects of the Hot Alignment of a Power Unit on Oil-Whip Instability Phenomena

This paper shows the results of the analysis of the dynamic behaviour of a power unit, whose shaft-train alignment was significantly influenced by the machine thermal state, that was affected in operating condition by high subsynchronous vibrations caused by oil-whip instability phenomena. The dynam...
