Łukasz Breńkacz, Ph.D., Eng.
I am a research associate at the Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences
About me
I make 3d projects of rotating machinery and calculations of machine dynamics and durability. I am interested in the health monitoring of machinery, I use numerical methods (Finite Element Method) and perform experimental research. I have been dealing with rotor dynamics and the selection of bearings for high-speed turbines. My research interests include hydrodynamic, gas, rolling, and foil bearings. I am a SIMP Expert and an author or co-author of several expert opinions and more than 70 internal reports. I am also the author of about 70 scientific publications (including a book in Wiley Press) and two patents for an invention. I teach machine design (lectures) and engineering graphics (lectures and laboratories) at the WSB Academy. I conducted classes: vibration in machine diagnostics (lectures and laboratories) and turbines for power generation (lectures) with PhD students of the summer and winter school in the frame of project CenMAT. I participated in 9 research projects, two of them as a project manager.
