The governing equations of motion for a rotating flexible blade-rigid disk-flexible shaft system are derived. The bladed disk is attached at one end of an asymmetric shaft with uniformly distributed mass, mass moment of inertia, and stiffness. The shaft is held by two isotropic supports; one at the far end from the bladed disk, modeled by two translational and two rotational springs, and an intermediate support, modeled by two translational springs only. The effect of shaft asymmetry on the dynamics behavior of the rotating bladed disk shaft system is examined over a wide range of rotational speed, and for different combinations of springs’ stiffness, which determines the type of shaft supports. The cantilever, and the simply supported shaft with an over hang can be looked upon as special cases of the described above shaft configuration, since the former is obtained by assigning large stiffness for both translational and rotational springs at the end support, and zero spring stiffness at the intermediate one, whereas the latter is obtained by assigning large stiffness for the translational springs at both supports and zero stiffness for the rotational springs. Stability boundaries are calculated, and presented in terms of shaft asymmetry and rotor speed for given bearing stiffness.

A transfer matrix-direct integration combined method is proposed, which employs the transfer matrix method to derive the equations of motion of a “characteristic disk,” and uses the direct integration method to determine the critical speeds, modes and unbalance response of a rotor-bearing system, and to analyze its stability. Despite the complexity of the system, the number of governing equations is not greater than eight. For a single-spool rotating system, the number of equations is only four. A transfer matrix for a uniform shaft is derived to consider its distributed mass, moment of inertia and the effect of shearing force. An impedance matrix iteration method is proposed to consider the effect of a complicated bearing-supporting system on the rotor dynamics. Two examples are given, and the results agree satisfactorily with the experiments.

In this paper the author obtains the frequency equation for the normal modes of vibration of uniform beams with linear translational and rotational springs at one end and having a concentrated mass at the other free end. The eigenfrequencies for the fundamental mode are given for a wide range of values of mass ratio, mass moment of inertia ratios, and stiffness ratios.

This paper studies the influence of the variable nonlocal parameter and porosity on the free vibration behavior of the functionally graded nanoplates with porosity. Four patterns of distribution of the porosity through the thickness direction are considered. The classical nonlocal elasticity theory is modified to take into account the variation of the nonlocal parameter through the thickness of the nanoplates. The governing equations of motion are established using simple first-order shear deformation theory and Hamilton’s principle. The closed-form solution based on Navier’s technique is employed to solve the governing equations of motion of fully simply supported nanoplates. The accuracy of the present algorithm is proved via some comparison studies in some special cases. Then, the effects of the porosity, the variation of the nonlocal parameter, the power-law index, aspect ratio, and the side-to-thickness ratio on the free vibration of nanoscale porous plates are investigated carefully. The numerical results show that the porosity and nonlocal parameter have strong effects on the free vibration behavior of the nanoplates.

In the analysis of internal forces for a slider–crank machine, writing the equations of motion is just the beginning. There are many engineering analysis decisions to be made regarding the handling of the crank angular acceleration, modeling of the connecting rod mass moment of inertia, and the approach to the solution of the resulting system of equations. Over the years, each of these have been handled in various ways, not all of then entirely correct. This paper looks at the various options and makes a critical review of the various practices. The intent is to encourage all engineering analysts to review the assumptions and methods of the software that they routinely use.

The structural dynamics of a rotating flexible blade-rigid disk-flexible cantilevered shaft system is analytically and experimentally investigated. A simple analytical model yields the equations of motion expressed in the rotating frame, which show that the blade one nodal diameter modes dynamically couple to the rigid body whirling motion of the shaft-disk system. The blade modes higher than one nodal diameter are uncoupled from the shaft-disk dynamics. Nondimensionalization of the coupled equations of motion yield the criteria for the propensity and magnitude of the interaction between the bladed disk and shaft-disk modes. The analytical model was then correlated with the results of a structural dynamic experiment performed on the MIT Aeroelastic Rotor, a fan similar in design to a modern high bypass ratio shroudless turbofan. A special whirl excitation apparatus was used to excite both forward and backward asynchronous whirl, in order to determine the natural frequencies of the system. The agreement between the predicted and experimental natural frequencies is good and indicates the possibility of significant interaction of the one nodal diameter blade modes with the shaft-disk modes.

The effect of bladed-disk polar dissymmetry, resulting from variations in mass from one blade to another, on aeroelastic stability boundaries for a fan stage is presented. In addition to both in-plane and out-of-plane deformations of the bladed-disk, bending of the supporting shaft in two planes is considered, and the resulting Coriolis forces and gyroscopic moments are included in the analysis. A quasi-steady aerodynamics approach is combined with the Lagrangian method to develop the governing equations of motion for the flexible bladed-disk-shaft assembly. Calculations are performed for an actual fan stage.

Abstract This study is an experimental investigation of the influence of disk flexibility and rubbing on rotordynamics. The rotor rigs used in the experiments were designed to have included disk flexibility and a rubbing mechanism. The governing equations of motion are similar to those studied in analytical investigations. The system responses to imbalance were recorded and orbit trajectories were plotted at a set of different rotating speeds. The results show the rubbing response development from light forward bouncing, mixed forward bouncing, to high amplitude backward whirling heavy rubbing. The results also show that the flexible-disk rotor has the tendency of having a high frequency component at the upper rotor speed range of mixed bouncing. These agree very well with the results from an earlier analytical study.

Analytical investigation into the effect of transverse bending of continuous flexible shafts is presented. While the blades are allowed both in-plane and out-of-plane deformations, the considered disk is rigid, and the shaft is allowed to bend in two planes. The assumed mode method is used to express flexible blade and shaft deformations, and the Lagrangian approach is used to derive the governing equations of motion for the considered structure. Stiffness and inertia properties of an actual experimental rotor, typical of a fan stage, are used in the analysis. Calculations are performed for three different disk-shaft configurations, and results are presented for different shaft stiffness and inertia parameters, as well as for a wide range of rotational speed.

This study investigates the vibration of a spinning cantilever beam with a rigid body attached to its free end undergoing coupled bending and torsional motion. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the beam (like a helicopter blade). The governing equations of motion are cast in a structured way using extended variables and extended operators. With this structure the equations represent a classical gyroscopic system and Galerkin discretization is readily applied where it is not for the original problem. The natural frequencies and vibration modes are investigated over a wide range of rotation speeds.

This paper investigates how the natural frequencies of planetary gears tend to gather into clusters (or groups). This behavior is observed experimentally and analyzed in further detail by numerical analysis. There are three natural frequency clusters at relatively high frequencies. The modes at these natural frequencies are marked by planet gear motion and contain strain energy in the tooth meshes and planet bearings. Each cluster contains one rotational, one translational, and one planet mode type discussed in previous research. The clustering phenomenon is robust, continuing through parameter variations of several orders of magnitude. The natural frequency clusters move together as a group when planet parameters change. They never intersect, but when the natural frequencies clusters approach each other, they exchange modal properties and veer away. When central member parameters are varied, the clusters remain nearly constant except for regions in which natural frequencies simultaneously shift to different cluster groups. There are two conditions that disrupt the clustering effect or diminish its prominence. One is when the planet parameters are similar to those of the other components, and the other is when there are large differences in mass, moment of inertia, bearing stiffness, or mesh stiffness among the planet gears. The clusters remain grouped together with arbitrary planet spacing.
