Abstract
This paper presents a perspective on the work of Dr. J. W. Lund, in the field of rotor-bearing dynamics. It traces his most influential work in published journals, software, data published in various manuals, government reports, and course notes. It addresses his work in oil bearings, gas bearings, unbalance response of flexible rotors, stability of flexible rotors, squeeze-film dampers, rotor balancing, and modal testing of rotors. It provides a road map for those who would revisit the knowledge base. It shows how Dr. Lund’s work has permeated the practice of today’s suppliers and users of turbomachinery, and industry consultants.
