Lumped Masses

Traditional rotor dynamics analysis programs make the assumption that disk components are rigid and can be treated as lumped masses. Several researchers have studied this assumption with specific analytical treatments designed to simulate disk flexibility. The general conclusions reached by these studies indicated disk flexibility has little effect on critical speeds but significantly influences natural frequencies. This apparent contradiction has been reexamined by using axisymmetric harmonic finite elements to directly represent both disk and shaft flexibility along with gyroscopic effects. Results from this improved analysis show that depending on the thickness-to-diameter (slenderness) ratio of the disk and the axial position of the disk on the shaft, there are significant differences in all natural frequencies, for both forward and backward modes, including synchronous crossings at critical speeds.

An analytical investigation into the influence of disk flexibility on the transverse bending natural frequencies and critical speeds of a rotating shaft-disk system is presented. The geometric model considered consists of a flexible continuous shaft carrying a flexible continuous circular plate. The partial differential equations governing the system motion and the associated exact solution form are developed. Numerical solutions are presented covering a wide range of non-dimensional parameters and general conclusions are drawn.

AbstractThis study investigates the effects of disk position nonlinearities on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a rotating flexible shaft-disk system. Displacement of the disk on the shaft causes certain nonlinear terms which appears in the equations of motion, which can in turn affect the dynamic behavior of the system. The system is modeled as a continuous shaft with a rigid disk in different locations. Also, the disk gyroscopic moment is considered. The partial differential equations of motion are extracted under the Rayleigh beam theory. The assumed modes method is used to discretize partial differential equations and the resulting equations are solved via numerical methods. The analytical methods used in this work are inclusive of time series, phase plane portrait, power spectrum, Poincaré map, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponents. The effect of disk nonlinearities is studied for some disk positions. The results confirm that when the disk is located at mid-span of the shaft, only the regular motion (period one) is observed. However, periodic, sub-harmonic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic states can be observed for situations in which the disk is located at places other than the middle of the shaft. The results show nonlinear effects are negligible in some cases.

Kinematic Motion

It has been a well-established fact that dynamic systems in motion experience critical speeds, such as rotating shafts and geared systems whose undeformed reference geometry remain the same at all times. Their critical speeds are determined by their natural frequencies of considered type of free vibrations. Linkage mechanisms as dynamic systems in motion change their undeformed geometries as function of time during the cycle of kinematic motion. They do also experience critical operating speeds as rotating shafts and geared systems do, and their critical speeds are determined by the minima of their natural frequencies during a cycle of kinematic motion. Such a minimum occurs at the critical geometry of a mechanism, which is the position at which the maximum of the input power is required to maintain the instantaneous dynamic equilibrium of the mechanism. Actual finite line elements are used to form the global generalized coordinate flexibility matrix. The natural frequencies of the mechanism and the corresponding mode vectors (mode deflections) are determined as the eigen values and eigen vectors of the equations of instantaneous-position-free-motion of the mechanism. Method is formulated to include or exclude the link axial deformations, and apply to any number of loops having any type of planar pair. Critical speeds of planar four-bar, slider-crank, and Stephenson’s six-bar mechanisms are determined. Experimental results for the four-bar mechanism are given. Effect of axial deformations and link rotary inertias are investigated. Inclusion of link axial deformations in mechanisms having pairs with sliding freedoms is seen to predict critical speeds with large error.

Abstract The influences of stagger angle (α) and pretwist angle (βL) of blades on the coupling vibration among shaft bending and blade bending in a shaft-disk-blade (SDB) system are investigated using a Lagrangian approach in combination with the assumed modes method (AMM). The disk is rigid, and the flexible shaft is supported with two rigid bearings. It is shown that α and βL have variable effects on the coupling vibration because their influences can be increased, reduced, or even completely eliminated for different values of disk location (λ), blade thickness ratio (δ), and blade aspect ratio (γ). To study the coupling vibration in an SDB system, consideration of λ, δ, and γ are very important because those can alter the coupling magnitude, the coupling pattern as well as the predominant modes. Nevertheless, previous researches rarely take into account these parameters. Moreover, in the present work, to investigate the natural frequencies and critical speeds versus λ, δ, and γ, new diagrams are introduced. Also, the relation between the in-plane and out-of-plane motions of the blades with the coupling vibration is precisely analyzed.

This is the first part (Part I) of two papers describing results of a research program directed at verifying computer programs used to calculate critical speeds of turbomachinery. This research program was undertaken since questions existed about the accuracy of calculations for the second and higher critical speeds. Part I describes improvements in computer programs and data modeling that resulted from comparing measured and calculated “free-free” natural frequencies of several shafts and rotors. Program modifications to improve accuracy include consideration of the effect of disk/shaft attachment stiffness, revised treatment of the end masses, and an improved convergence. Modifications resulting from the study are applicable to many other damped and undamped critical speed computer programs.
