In recent times, a considerable impact has been made on the modeling of dynamic characteristics of rotating structures. Some of the dynamic characteristics of interest are critical speed, systems stability and response to unbalance excitation. In the case of Gas Turbines (GT), the successful operation of the engine depends largely on the structural integrity of its rotor shaft.

co-generation is defined as combined production of power and thermal energy from the same fuel source, represented by natural gas, liquid fuel, refinery gas, etc. In conventional energy production the efficiency is approximately 40 %, but through co-generation it can reach even 90 %. Fuel supply and increased performance requirements, environment concerns, continuously variable market conditions have contributed to the development of the gas turbines.
