Circular Disks

The natural frequencies and transverse stiffness of centrally damped, circular disks are computed taking into account the flexibility of the central clamp and the thickness of the damped part of the disk. When compared to experimental vibration data, these predictions are more accurate than the traditional, perfect clamping predictions, particularly, for zero and one-nodal-diameter vibration modes. The reduction in natural frequency or transverse stiffness caused by clamping flexibility can be mitigated either by increasing the clamping stiffness or by increasing the hub thickness, defined here as the thickness of the disk sandwiched by the central clamp. A design study of these two alternatives for both stationary and rotating disks shows that increasing the hub thickness is often a more attractive design alternative.

Thermal effects on the natural frequency for the nonlinear free vibration of co-rotating disks are investigated for non-uniform temperature distributions relative to airflow induced by disk rotation. The natural frequencies for symmetric and asymmetric responses of a 3.5 inch diameter computer memory disk are calculated. When the disk is heated, its stiffness becomes larger for the two lowest nodal diameter numbers and smaller for the other nodal diameter numbers. It implies that the vibration of heated, rotating disks for the higher nodal diameter numbers may be induced more easily than the cooled one.

Abstract Thermal effects on the natural frequency for the nonlinear free vibration of rotating disks are investigated for non-uniform temperature distributions relative to the laminar and turbulent airflow induced by disk rotation. The natural frequencies for symmetric and asymmetric responses of a 3.5 inch diameter computer memory disk are calculated. When the disk is heated, its stiffness becomes larger for the two lowest nodal diameter numbers and smaller for the other nodal diameter numbers. It implies that the vibration of heated, rotating disks for the higher nodal diameter numbers may be induced more easily than the cooled one.

Vibration characteristics of rotating rings with complex support stiffnesses are studied. The complex stiffnesses of the rotating ring include discrete stiffnesses and partially distributed stiffnesses. The governing equations are established by Hamilton’s principle. The governing equations are cast in matrix differential operators and discretized using Galerkin’s method. The eigenvalue problem is dealt with state space matrix and the natural frequencies and vibration modes are obtained. The properties of natural frequencies and vibration modes of rotating rings are studied. The results illustrate that frequency separation and frequency veering happen with the increase of rotation speed. The vibration modes are not dominated by only one nodal diameter while dominated by several nodal diameters because the discrete and partially distributed stiffnesses disrupt the axisymmetry of rotating rings. The influences of several parameters to vibration properties of rotating rings are also investigated.

With the extensive use of composite materials in aviation industry, the research of factors which affect their basic performances in production and usage has become very important. In this paper, a finite element analysis model is built by the commercial software MSC.Nastran / Patran to research the effect of fiber lay-up direction misalignment on the natural frequency of composite laminates. The results show that, in the same boundary conditions, stacking sequence has a significant impact on the natural frequencies and vibration modes of composite laminates, and in the lay-up process, the natural frequency change of laminates caused by 0° fiber lay-up direction misalignment is much larger than the natural frequency change of laminates due to 90° fiber lay-up direction misalignment. In the process control and certification of composite laminate plates lay-up, special attention should be taken to the inspection of 0° direction fibers.

The response and natural frequencies for the linear and nonlinear vibrations of rotating disks are given analytically through the new plate theory proposed by Luo in 1999. The results for the nonlinear vibration can reduce to the ones for the linear vibration when the nonlinear effects vanish and for the von Karman model when the nonlinear effects are modified. They are applicable to disks experiencing large-amplitude displacement or initial flatness and waviness. The natural frequencies for symmetric and asymmetric responses of a 3.5-inch diameter computer memory disk as an example are predicted through the linear theory, the von Karman theory and the new plate theory. The hardening of rotating disks occurs when nodal-diameter numbers are small and the softening of rotating disks occurs when nodal-diameter numbers become larger. The critical speeds of the softening disks decrease with increasing deflection amplitudes. [S0739-3717(00)02004-3]

Theoretical Results

The study of the dynamic behavior of annular plates with circumferential cracks can find many applications in several machine components such as flywheels, clutch plates, compact discs etc. A crack on a structural member introduces a local increase of flexibility in that region then; this affects the static and dynamic characteristics. The effects of cracks on the dynamic characteristics of structures, especially on the natural frequencies and modes, were extensively studied. In this study, the natural frequencies of annular plates with circumferential cracks are investigated by using finite element method. The cracks were non-propagating and open. The annular plate with different cracks was subjected to different boundary conditions and final variation in the natural frequency was obtained, which was compared with the theoretical frequency and the change in the natural frequency was studied. The results of this study with improved elements are compared with the theoretical results in the literature. It is observed that the location and the number of cracks have various effects on the natural frequencies related to the vibration modes.

This work develops an analytical model of planetary gears and uses it to investigate their natural frequencies and vibration modes. The model admits three planar degrees of freedom for each of the sun, ring, carrier and planets. Vibration modes are classified into rotational, translational and planet modes. The natural frequency sensitivities to system parameters are investigated for tuned (cyclically symmetric) planetary gears. Parameters under consideration include support and mesh stiffnesses, component masses, and moments of inertia. Using the well-defined vibration mode properties of tuned planetary gears, the eigen sensitivities are calculated and expressed in simple exact formulae. These formulae connect natural frequency sensitivity with the modal strain or kinetic energy and provide efficient means to determine the sensitivity to all stiffness and inertia parameters by inspection of the modal energy distribution.

This paper studies natural frequencies and mode shapes of a spinning disk/spindle assembly consisting of multiple elastic circular plates mounted on a rigid spindle that undergoes infinitesimal rigid-body translation and rotation. Through use of Lagrangian mechanics, linearized equations of motion are derived in terms of Euler angles, rigid-body translation, and elastic vibration modes of each disk. Compared with a single rotating disk whose spindle is fixed in space, the free vibration of multiple disks with rigid-body motion is significantly different in the following ways. First of all, lateral translation of the spindle, rigid-body rotation (or rocking) of the spindle, and one-nodal diameter modes of each disk are coupled together. When all the disks (say N disks) are identical, the coupled disk/spindle vibration splits into N − 1 groups of “balanced modes” and a group of “unbalanced modes.” For each group of the balanced modes, two adjacent disks vibrate entirely out of phase, while other disks undergo no deformation. Because the out-of-phase vibration does not change the angular momentum, the natural frequencies of the balanced modes are identical to those of the one-nodal-diameter modes of each disk. For the group of the unbalanced modes, all disks undergo the same out-of-plane vibration resulting in a change of angular momentum and a steady precession of the spindle. As a result, the frequencies of the unbalanced modes are significantly lower than those of one-nodal-diameter modes of each disk. Secondly, axial translation of the spindle and the axisymmetric modes of each disk are couple together. Similarly, the coupled motion split into N − 1 groups of “balanced modes” and one group of “unbalanced modes,” where the frequencies of the balanced and unbalanced modes are identical to and smaller than those of the axisymmetric modes of each disk, respectively. Thirdly, the rigid-body motion of the spindle does not affect disk vibration modes with two or more nodal diameters. Response of those modes can be determined through the classical vibration analysis of rotating disks. Moreover, vibration response of the disk/spindle assembly from a ground-based observer is derived. Finally, a calibrated experiment is conducted to validate the theoretical predictions.

Actual trend in steam turbine design is to use blades with integral shrouds, for high pressure and intermediate pressure steam turbine sections, as well as also for the long blades of the low pressure sections. The blades are inserted with their root into the seat on the shaft in such a way that the blades are slightly forced against each other in correspondence of the shrouds. In long blades of low pressure stages the forcing can be obtained by the untwisting of twisted blades due to the effect of the huge centrifugal forces. The dynamic behavior of these blade rows is difficult to predict due to the nonlinear effect of the contact forces and due to friction. Different models for the contact are proposed and compared. The resulting natural frequencies of the blade row as a function of the different nodal diameter mode shapes are highly depending on the assumed models. For avoiding resonant conditions with engine order excitations, the natural frequencies must be calculated with good accuracy. Some of the modes of the blade row, typically for the last stage of the low pressure steam turbine, can couple with some vibration modes of the rotor: flexural vibrations of the shaft couple with 1 nodal diameter mode shape of the row in axial direction and torsional vibrations of the shaft couple with the 0 nodal diameter mode in tangential direction. Therefore analyses of lateral and torsional vibrations of low pressure steam turbine shafts require also an accurate analysis of the blade row vibration modes.
