DESCRIPTION:Rotordynamics is one of those topics within mechan
 ical engineering dynamics and control that is ofte
 n seen as a rather specialist topic. One has to wo
 rry about multi-physics\, multiple  co-ordinate sy
 stems\,  non-normal mass and stiffness matrices du
 e to gyroscopic and other effects\, large transfer
 s of energy between rotational and lateral degrees
  of freedom and the experimental challenging of mo
 nitor vibrations across the rotor-stator barrier. 
 In this talk I shall survey several areas of resea
 rch in the fundamental nonlinear dynamics of rotat
 ing mechanical systems. In particular\, I shall di
 scuss work on dynamic autobalancer mechanisms and 
 on the dynamics of intermittent rub or contact. Fi
 nally\, I shall discuss work with a novel Cambridg
 e-based SME\, Faraday Predictive\, who use model-b
 ased current and voltage analysis for remote condi
 tion monitoring of rotational machines.  Much of t
 his work is in collaboration with Mike Friswell an
 d Alex Shaw at the Univeristy of Swansea.
