Dynamic Stiffness Method

This study develops dynamic analysis based on the dynamic stiffness method for a rotating beam of nonuniform cross-section. To deal with nonuniform beams, coefficients related to material and geometric properties in the equation of motion are expressed in a polynomial form. A dynamic stiffness matrix is accordingly formulated in terms of power series. The dynamic response of the rotating beam is calculated by performing modal analysis. It is demonstrated that the present method provides an alternative to the finite element method in dealing with nonuniform rotating beams.

Dynamic Stiffness Method

The exact vibration frequencies of continuous beams with internal releases are found using the dynamic stiffness method. Two types of releases are considered: hinge and sliding discontinuities. First, the exact dynamic stiffness matrix for a beam element with a release is derived and then used in the assembly of the structure dynamic stiffness matrix. The natural frequencies are found as the values of frequency that make this matrix singular. Then the mode shapes are found exactly. Examples are given for continuous beams with different releases.

Dynamic Stiffness Method

Risers are fluid conduits from subsea equipment to surface floating production platforms. The integrity of a riser system plays a very important role in deepwater developments. Riser dynamic analysis is an important part to the system design. This paper investigates riser dynamic analysis using the WKB-Based dynamic stiffness method. This paper first presents a theoretical formulation of the dynamic stiffness method. It then combines the dynamic stiffness method with the WKB theory, which assumes that the coefficients in the differential equation of motion are slowly varying. The WKB-based dynamic stiffness method is derived and a frequency dependent shape function is expressed implicitly. The Wittrick and Williams (W-W) algorithm is further extended to solve eigen value problem for a general non-uniform marine riser. Examples of non-uniform riser are analyzed and the results show the efficiency of this method. In addition, a pipe-in-pipe riser system is analyzed for natural frequencies and mode shapes using the WKB-based dynamic stiffness method with the W-W algorithm. The characteristic of the mode shapes is described for such a riser system.

Rotor Bearing

The behavior of linear rotor-bearing systems is investigated by using the exact approach of the dynamic stiffness method, which entails the use of continuous rather than lumped models. In particular, the theoretical formulation for rotor systems with anisotropic bearings is developed by utilizing the complex representation of all the involved variables. The proposed formulation eventually leads to the 8 × 8 complex dynamic stiffness matrix of the rotating Timoshenko beam; this matrix proves to be related, by a simple rule, to the 4 × 4 dynamic stiffness matrix, which describes rotor systems with isotropic bearings. The method is first applied to the critical speeds evaluation of a simple rotor system with rigid supports; for this case, the exact results of the dynamic stiffness approach are compared to the usual convergence procedure of the finite element method. Successively, the steady-state unbalance response of two rotor systems with anisotropic supports is analyzed; for these examples, the dynamic stiffness results compare favorably with the results of the finite element and the transfer matrix analysis performed by other authors.
