Abstract

This paper reviews the history of rotor balancing researches and techniques to avoid balancing problem and its consequences. The discussion in site and factory methods includes influence coefficient, conventional software, no phase and frequency response methods to balance rotors. The survey present theory used in computational algorithms related to Eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) and its application to develop FRF.

Keywords:
balancing single plan balancing four run methods frequency response function self-balancing systems
