Introducing the sound- and vibration-producing mechanisms common to different types of compressors, this book discusses free and forced vibrations of compressor housing shells, mainly for hermetically sealed designs. It examines vibration in casings and other components, such as suction and discharge tubes, along with surging in coil springs.

Demonstrates how the vibration behavior of shells and plates differs from that of beams through theoretical development and examples. This book also explains complicating effects on vibration such as the influence of rotation, shear, rotatory inertia, moment loading, residual stresses, and composite layers.
