Dynamic response of any single degree of freedom (SDOF) vibratory system is studied by evaluating its natural frequencies whereas that of any multi degree of freedom (MDOF) vibratory system is studied by evaluating its natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes. Efficient method to determine the natural frequencies and mode shape of a MDOF system is to determine its dynamic matrix and to calculate its eigen-values and eigen-vectors. As the number of degree of freedom (DOF) of the system increases, the size of the dynamic matrix increases and the use of a computer program or package become essential. Hence this paper proposes a new method to directly calculate the coefficients of characteristic equation of any degree of freedom system from which eigen-values and then natural frequencies can be determined.

Abstract The first n natural frequencies and mode shapes of an N degree of freedom structure (n < N) are derived from the solution of a reduced eigenvalue problem of order smaller than N. The reduced eigenvalue problem is formulated by using experience to select approximations to the first n modes desired. Accuracy is improved when more than n modes are selected. The method is illustrated by a study on an 18 story building.

An important but often overlooked factor that affects the performance of a meso/micro electro mechanical vibratory sensor is the structural interaction between the sensor's resonator and the substrate on which it is mounted. Situating resonators at node points eliminates this interaction and thereby helps to improve a resonator's quality-factor for a particular mode of vibration. This paper addresses the problem of locating a single degree of freedom spring-mass resonator on a generic cantilever substrate. The loci of natural frequencies obtained when the resonator's mounting location is varied are developed, and the nodal locations are identified. Thereafter a method to obtain these locations from the characteristic equation without solving the associated eigenvalue problem is described. Lookup tables detailing the nodal locations and the corresponding natural frequencies for various resonator parameters are presented. It is found that at these special nodal locations, the magnitude of the power transmitted through anchors is negligible, which ensures minimal structural interaction between the resonator and the substrate.

Material Orientation

A new method has been developed for sensitivity calculations of modal characteristics of bladed disks made of anisotropic materials. The method allows the determination of the sensitivity of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of mistuned bladed disks with respect to anisotropy angles that define the crystal orientation of the monocrystalline blades using full-scale finite element models. An enhanced method is proposed to provide high accuracy for the sensitivity analysis of mode shapes. An approach has also been developed for transforming the modal sensitivities to coordinate systems used in industry for description of the blade anisotropy orientations. The capabilities of the developed methods are demonstrated on examples of a single blade and a mistuned realistic bladed disk finite element models. The modal sensitivity of mistuned bladed disks to anisotropic material orientation is thoroughly studied.

Stiffness And Damping

The effects of random stiffness and damping variations on damped natural frequencies and response levels of turbomachinery blades are investigated by employing probabilistic approach using a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) model. An important feature of this study is the determination of the cumulative probability distributions for damped natural frequencies and receptance frequency response functions without having to compute their probability density distributions since it is shown that those of stiffness and damping can be used directly. The advantage of this approach is not only in the simplicity of problem formulation but also in the substantial reduction of computational requirements. Furthermore, results suggest that both stiffness and damping properties should be considered as random parameters in statistical analyses of forced response.

Critical Damping

In this paper, exact closed forms of critical damping manifolds for multiple-kernel-based nonviscous single-degree-of-freedom oscillators are derived. The dissipative forces are assumed to depend on the past history of the velocity response via hereditary exponential kernels. The damping model depends on several parameters, considered variables in the context of this paper. Those parameter combinations which establish thresholds between induced overdamped and underdamped motion are called critical damping manifolds. If such manifolds are represented on a coordinate plane of two damping parameters, then they are named critical curves, so that overdamped regions are bounded by them. Analytical expressions of critical curves are deduced in parametric form, considering certain local nondimensional parameters based on the Laplace variable in the frequency domain. The definition of the new parameter (called the critical parameter) is supported by several theoretical results. The proposed expressions are validated through numerical examples showing perfect fitting of the determined critical curves and overdamped regions.

A method is described for the determination of natural frequencies and mode shapes of closed drive trains. It is an extension of the Holzer method to a redundant system. The “error” for a given value of frequency is computed by the solution of a tridiagonal system of equations.

Bearing Stiffness

Frequently, in the design of machines, some of parameters that directly affect the rotordynamics of the machines are not accurately known. In particular, bearing stiffness support is one such parameter. Taking a rig shafting as an example, this paper studies the lateral vibration of the rig shafting with multi-degree-of-freedom by using finite element method (FEM). The FEM model is created and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are calculated and analyzed to find natural frequencies, critical speeds, mode shapes. Then critical speeds and mode shapes are analyzed by set bearing stiffness changes. The model permitted to identify the critical speeds and bearings that have an important influence on the vibration behavior.
