Abstract An analytical investigation of the steady-state unbalance response of axisymmetric rotor systems with anisotropic, flexible and damped bearings is presented. According to the exact approach of the dynamic stiffness method, the rotor is modelled by means of continuous beam elements. In this work, the expression of the 8 × 8 dynamic stiffness matrix of a rotating Timoshenko beam is derived and it is shown that it is related, by means of a simple law, to the previously published 4 × 4 dynamic stiffness matrix, which holds for the isotropic bearings case. The effects of concentrated disks and bearings are included into the formulation; in particular, each bearing is described by eight constant coefficients, according to the well-known linearized model of the bearing forces. The unbalance response of a typical rotor system taken from the literature is analyzed. A comparison is presented with the finite element results reported by other authors.
