The effect of a geometrical imperfection, such as the axis flexural deformation, on the large-amplitude vibrations of a horizontal rotating shaft is analyzed with the aid of the Multiple Scales Method. Internal viscous damping and linear elasticity are assumed in the model. It is then seen that no matter how small the imperfection is, a “critical” speed of the order of half the classical critical speed arises, with relevant practical implications. A number of reported large-amplitude cases may eventually be explained this way. It is possible that events such as this will not appear in systems with high dry friction.

Abstract The system considered here is a massless, uniform elastic shaft carrying at its mid-point a disk (having mass) and supported at the ends by universal (Hooke) joints. The purpose of this investigation is to examine the effect of Hooke-joint angularity (as obtained by design, or from faulty alignment) on the bending stability of the rotating shaft. It is found that separate investigations are required for shafts not transmitting axial torques and for those required to transmit torques. Each gives rise to instabilities which are absent when the Hooke joint is straight. In the absence of axial torques, the shaft develops unsuspected mild critical speeds at odd integer submultiples of the “familiar” critical speed found with a straight Hooke joint. When the shaft is required to transmit moderate axial torques, the joint angularity produces true instabilities near all integer submultiples of the familiar critical speed. Surprisingly, these instabilities vanish for sufficiently large axial torques.

Rotating shafts often experience undesirable large-amplitude whirling oscillations associated with resonance at critical speeds. This paper further develops a nondestructive technique in which measured information about the growing nature of the response is used to predict an incipient critical speed. A number of models of varying degrees of sophistication are developed and tested using the new approach, but the main advantage of the method is that it is model-free and thus possesses considerable practical utility. In addition, further experimental results are presented for the case of two disks mounted on a shaft, and the technique is successfully demonstrated in predicting a critical speed associated with a higher mode.

We consider the problem of large-amplitude vibrations of a simply supported circular flat plate subjected to harmonically varying temperature fields arising from an external heat flux (aeroheating for example). The plate is modeled using the von Karman equations. We used the method of multiple scales to determine an approximate solution for the case in which the frequency of the thermal variations is approximately twice the fundamental natural frequency of the plate; that is, the case of principal parametric resonance. The results show that such thermal loads produce large-amplitude vibrations, with associated multi-valued responses and subcritical instabilities.

In this paper, dynamic response of a rotating shaft with geometrical nonlinearity under parametric and external excitations is investigated. Resonances, bifurcations, and stability of the response are analyzed. External excitation is due to shaft unbalance and parametric excitation is due to periodic axial force. For this purpose, combination resonances of parametric excitation and primary resonance of external force are assumed. Indeed, simultaneous effect of nonlinearity, parametric, and external excitations are investigated using analytical method. By applying the method of multiple scales, four ordinary nonlinear differential equations are obtained, which govern the slow evolution of amplitude and phase of forward and backward modes. Eigenvalues of Jacobian matrix are checked to find the stability of solutions. Both periodic and quasi-periodic motion were observed in the range of study. The influence of various parameters on the response of the system is studied. A main contribution is that the parametric excitation in the presence of nonlinearity can be used to suppress the forward synchronous vibration. Indeed, in the presence of combination parametric excitation, the energy is transferred from forward whirling mode to backward one. This property can be applied in control of rotor unbalance vibrations.

In this study, the intrinsic behavior of rotating shafts with residual unbalance is considered. The longitudinal component of the angular momentum caused by synchronous precession (whirling) induces torsional vibrations with a frequency of twice the rotation frequency (bisynchronous). The nonlinear term which represents this coupling is characteristic of the asymmetrical aspect of rotating shaft kinematics. This result has been obtained analytically and confirmed experimentally.
