This paper presents an experimental study of vibration localization in single-span, flexible, rotating shafts. It was shown in a companion paper (Part I) that a noncircular cross-section of the rotating shaft, leading to dissimilar lateral moments of inertia, can introduce disorder. Internal coupling between the principal directions of vibration is provided by the rotational speed through the gyroscopic moments. It is experimentally demonstrated here that directional vibration localization can occur for appropriate combinations of disorder and coupling. The steady state response, due to mass unbalance, of a simply supported rotating shaft is considered. It is shown that disorder and gyroscopic coupling lead to directional vibration localization; i.e., larger vibration amplitudes in one of the two orthogonal principal directions of the shaft cross section.

This paper presents a theoretical study of vibration localization in single-span, flexible, rotating shafts. A noncircular cross-section of the rotating shaft, leading to dissimilar lateral moments of inertia, can introduce disorder. Internal coupling between the principal directions of vibration is provided by the rotational speed through the gyroscopic moments. It is shown, both analytically and numerically, that directional vibration localization can occur for certain appropriate combinations of disorder and coupling.

A non-circular cross-section of the rotating shaft, leading to dissimilar lateral moments of inertia, can introduce disorder. Internal coupling between the principal directions of vibration is provided by the rotational speed through the gyroscopic moments. It is shown, using both exact and perturbation solutions, that directional vibration localization can occur for certain appropriate combinations of disorder and coupling.

In this study, a higher-order finite element based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is applied in the dynamic analysis of high-speed rotating shafts. Static and modal tests are carried out to analyze the performance and accuracy of the introduced ANCF element. Also, via a transient dynamic benchmark test involving a rotating flexible shaft, the accuracy of the examined beam element in high-speed applications is analyzed. According to the results, the introduced beam element can adequately capture cross-section deformationin high-speed rotating shaft analysis.

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.

Abstract This paper presents a nonlinear model to describe the bending behaviour of a rotating shaft, based on the general theory of a bending bar. Justification for this theoretical model has been provided by tests, the resulting curves more closely fitting observed results than those of other models.

The use of finite elements for simulation of rotor systems has received considerable attention within the last few years. The published works have included the study of the effects of rotatory inertia, gyroscopic moments, axial load, and internal damping; but have not included shear deformation or axial torque effects. This paper generalizes the previous works by utilizing Timoshenko beam theory for establishing the shape functions and, thereby including transverse shear effects. Internal damping is not included but the extension is straight forward. Comparison is made of the finite element analysis with classical dosed form Timoshenko beam theory analysis for nonrotating and rotating shafts.

The dynamic behaviour of heavy, horizontal axis, rotating shaft-lines affected by transverse cracks can be analysed in the frequency domain by a quasi linear approach, using a simplified breathing crack model applied to a traditional finite element model of the shaft-line. This allows to perform a series of analyses with affordable efforts. The analysis of the modelling procedure allows to define an approximated approach for simulating the dynamical behaviour, which allows to predict the severity of the crack excited vibrations, combined to modal analysis. this answers to the old-age question on how deep a crack must be to be detected by means of vibration measurements. The model of a 320 MW turbo-generator group has been used to perform a numerical sensitivity analysis, in which the vibrations of the shaft-line, and more in detail the vibrations of the shafts in correspondence to the bearings, have been calculated for all possible positions of the crack along the shaftline and for two different values of the depth of the crack. The calculated results confirm the predicted behaviour.

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.

Vibration analysis of an internally damped rotating shaft, modeled using Timoshenko beam theory, with general boundary conditions is performed analytically. The equations of motion including the effects of internal viscous and hysteretic damping are derived. Exact solutions for the complex natural frequencies and complex normal modes are provided for each of the six classical boundary conditions. Numerical simulations show the effect of the internal damping on the stability of the rotor system.
