Special Case

A sixteen node cylindrical super element is presented for evaluating the free vibration characteristics of a rotating laminated cylinder with conventional boundary conditions. It is shown that the natural frequencies are affected considerably when the centrifugal force is also taken into account. The vibration frequencies of rotating finite cylinder, obtained by conventional finite element are used to evaluate the accuracy of this approach. The special case of a stationary cylinder with zero spinning velocity is also considered as a check on this method. Results indicate only few number of cylindrical super elements are capable of predicting the natural frequency of the rotating cylinder within the same limit as many elements used in the conventional finite element method.
