It is your choice:
Book either an IN-PERSON Seminar at the Maritim Hotel, Frankfurt, Germany
or alternatively an ONLINE Seminar (taking place at the same time).
A cooperation between Concepts NREC, USA and Dr.-Ing. Andreas Laschet, Germany
This International Seminar & Short Course is dedicated to engineers and technical managers who are involved in ROTATING MACHINERY DYNAMICS design, operation, maintenance, diagnosis, and trouble shooting, with emphasis on machinery rotor dynamics (LATERAL VIBRATION analysis), drive train dynamics (TORSIONAL VIBRATION analysis), and bearing systems (FLUID-FILM BEARINGS).
Course coverage of the field is illustrated by the presentation of real life case histories and the application of advanced technologies for the modeling, analyses, and trouble shooting real life bearings and vibration problems.
This seminar is a TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER SEMINAR and is therefore dedicated to all engineers interested in the dynamics of rotating machinery, independent of the use of a software tool. No previous experiences in rotordynamics are required – just register and visit the seminar to understand the world of vibrations, and above all how to solve and avoid vibration problems in rotating machinery.
We offer a HYBRID seminar; in other words it is up to you whether you attend the seminar IN-PERSON at the Maritim Hotel in Frankfurt (Germany), or alternatively an ONLINE seminar. We recommend to attend the seminar personally which is rather helpful for personal discussions and individual presentations. In the previous years we had a lot of participants from many countries worldwide (Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and also North or South America).
Thus, this seminar is really an INTERNATIONAL event; you should not miss this professional course of great reputation and lively exchange of experiences among the participants.
This is the structure of the seminar with the associated subjects per day. You may book single sections (days) or the seminar completely, which is highly recommended as all seminar days are coordinated with each other.
Note:
SEMINAR DAYS + SUBJECTS
1st Day: November 3, 2025 (Monday)
Seminar:
FLUID-FILM BEARINGS (Technology & Applications)
This seminar day will focus on fluid-film bearings, the vital tribological element of rotating machinery, beginning with their fundamental principles of operation through computer-implemented evaluations of their operational performance characteristics and limitations. Design considerations and applications of fluid-film bearings will be discussed along with the presentation of numerous real-life case histories to illustrate the technology and its application to rotating machinery failure analysis and troubleshooting of common as well as unique vibration problems.
2nd + 3rd Day: November 4-5, 2025 (Tuesday + Wednesday)
Seminar:
ROTOR DYNAMICS (Basics & Applications & Case Studies)
The interacting influence of bearings on the dynamic behavior of rotating machinery will be reviewed and illustrated by the construction of analytical models and evaluated by computerized solutions. Participants are encouraged to present problems to be discussed. Informal technical sessions and workshops are intended to provide participants with adequate time to describe problems they have encountered in bearings, bearing systems, rotor dynamics, and torsional vibration. The course will deal specifically with rotor dynamics as they occur in complete drivelines. Apart from model generation strategies, we present the basics of the analysis of excitability including the interpretation of vibration modes of the drive system. Examples show the steady-state or time-transient response signals generated by the calculations and in comparison with measurement signals.
4th Day: November 6, 2025 (Thursday)
Seminar:
TORSIONAL VIBRATIONS (Basics & Applications)
This day addresses torsional vibrations, including case studies and applications in rotating machinery supported by computer simulation methods. This course is recommended as an additional session to the previous days. Complete drivelines are analyzed and evaluated concerning excitability and response capability at specific stations (inertias) and elements (stiffnesses).
5th Day: November 7, 2025 (Friday) – seminar only IN-PERSON
Seminar:
SOFTWARE WORKSHOP AND APPLIED EXAMPLES (Workshop in a group)
The last day offers a hands-on workshop using ARMD™ software with demonstration, training, and application to bearings, bearing systems, rotor dynamics, and torsional vibration modeling, analyses, and interpretation of generated results. We will create computer models, demonstrate how to run reasonable computations, and explain how to interpret the computer results. This training covers real industrial case studies and quite exciting examples of real-world applications.
This seminar is presented by Victor K. Obeid together with Dr. Andreas Laschet.
Victor Obeid is a rotor dynamic and fluid-film bearing specialist with acknowledged high reputation worldwide. He was also head of the company RBTS (US) for many years. RBTS is now part of Concepts NREC (US).
Dr.-Ing. Andreas Laschet is Concepts NREC's channel partner in Europe (and also in neighboring regions / countries) and official distributor of the ARMD software and therefore your contact partner for software support. Dr. Laschet also offers associated engineering services worldwide. He is specialized in torsional vibration analyses, also with extended requirements.
