• Rotordynamics
  
  Building on the vast research and know-how on rotordynamics within RITEC; competitve research is underway to supplement field work. 
  In addition, RITEC's rotordynamics analysis software package; RIMAP is a state-of-the-art rotordynamic analysis program.
  
  
• Advanced Bearings: 
  
  This project aims at developing a smart integrated bearing for use in high performance
  industrial machines. The basic idea is to develop an integrated bearing that consists of
  a journal bearing and a magnetic bearing such that the integrated bearing is capable 
  of carrying large loads on the journal bearing, while maintaining controllability and 
  observability using the magnetic bearing. 
  
  This bearing is anticipated to be capable of operating at a multitude of operating 
  conditions effectively and smartly, and promises to be a breakthrough technology 
  for high performance bearings.
  
  The Smart Integrated Bearing (SIB) aims at eliminating instability and vibration due to high performance machines. Any technology that 
  is capable of overcoming that problem is highly welcome by industry. In addition, the smart bearing concept allows extensive control and 
  disagnostic capabilities. 
  
  This research project is conducted in partnership with INSA (Lyon, France). 
  
  The Smart Integrated Bearing concept is protected by US Intelectual Property protection under US Patent #7836601. Various other regions
  patents pending.
