The equations of motion of a flexible rotating shaft have been typically derived by introducing gyroscopic moments, in an inconsistent manner, as generalized work terms in a Lagrangian formulation or as external moments in a Newtonian approach. This paper presents the consistent derivation of a set of governing differential equations describing the flexural vibration in two orthogonal planes and the torsional vibration of a straight rotating shaft with dissimilar lateral principal moments of inertia and subject to a constant compressive axial load. The coupling between flexural and torsional vibration due to mass eccentricity is not considered. In addition, a new approach for calculating correctly the effect of an axial load for a Timoshenko beam is presented based on the change in length of the centroidal line. It is found that the use of either a floating frame approach with the small strain assumption or a finite strain beam theory is necessary to obtain a consistent derivation of the terms corresponding to gyroscopic moments in the equations of motion. However, the virtual work of an axial load through the geometric shortening appears consistently in the formulation only when using a finite strain beam theory.

Linear And Nonlinear

In this paper, the effects of high-static low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) isolators on the supports of a continuous rotating shaft for vibration control of a rotary system under mass eccentricity force are investigated. The rotating shaft is modeled using the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. HSLDS isolators have a linear damping and linear and nonlinear (cubic) equivalent stiffness. Isolators are positioned on the supports of the rotating shaft, so that their forces are applied in radial directions. Equations of motion are extracted using the extended Hamilton principle and they are analyzed using the multiple scale method; then, the steady-state solutions and stability are studied. The effects of variations in linear and nonlinear parameters of the isolators on the static load bearing, resonant peak, frequency band of isolation and hardening nonlinearity are considered, in order to design an appropriate HSLDS isolator and to set its parameters in an optimal way. Investigating the effects of the cubic stiffness and damping values on bifurcations of the system, one may observe that inappropriate setting of these parameters causes strong or weak nonlinearity in the system and, consequently, HSLDS isolators perform less effectively than a linear one does. Then, the results are verified through analyzing the time history of the rotary system under study.

Thin Walled

The dynamical analysis of a rotating thin-walled composite shaft with internal damping is carried out analytically. The equations of motion are derived using the thin-walled composite beam theory and the principle of virtual work. The internal damping of shafts is introduced by adopting the multiscale damping analysis method. Galerkin’s method is used to discretize and solve the governing equations. Numerical study shows the effect of design parameters on the natural frequencies, critical rotating speeds, and instability thresholds of shafts.

This work studies the nonlinear oscillations of an elastic rotating shaft with acceleration to pass through the critical speeds. A mathematical model incorporating the Von-Karman higher-order deformations in bending is developed to investigate the nonlinear dynamics of rotors. A flexible shaft on flexible bearings with springs and dampers is considered as rotor system for this work. The shaft is modeled as a beam and the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is applied. The kinetic and strain energies of the rotor system are derived and Lagrange method is then applied to obtain the coupled nonlinear differential equations of motion for 6 degrees of freedom. In order to solve these equations numerically, the finite element method (FEM) is used. Furthermore, for different bearing properties, rotor responses are examined and curves of passing through critical speeds with angular acceleration due to applied torque are plotted. Then the optimal values of bearing stiffness and damping are calculated to achieve the minimum vibration amplitude, which causes to pass easier through critical speeds. It is concluded that the value of damping and stiffness of bearing change the rotor critical speeds and also significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the rotor system. These effects are also presented graphically and discussed.

In ship and aircraft turbine rotors, the rotating mass unbalance and the different movements of the rotor base are among the main causes of vibrations in bending. The goal of this paper is to investigate the dynamic behavior of an on-board rotor under rigid base excitations. The modeling takes into consideration six types of base deterministic motions (rotations and translations) when the kinetic and strain energies in addition to the virtual work of the rotating flexible rotor components are computed. The finite element method is used in the rotor modeling by employing the Timoshenko beam theory. The proposed on-board rotor model takes into account the rotary inertia, the gyroscopic inertia, the shear deformation of shaft as well as the geometric asymmetry of shaft and/or rigid disk. The Lagrange’s equations are applied to establish the differential equations of the rotor in bending with respect to the rigid base which represents a noninertial reference frame. The linear equations of motion display periodic parametric coefficients due to the asymmetry of the rotor and time-varying parametric coefficients due to the base rotational motions. In the proposed applications, the rotor mounted on rigid/elastic bearings is excited by a rotating mass unbalance associated with sinusoidal vibrations of the rigid base. The dynamic behavior of the rotor is analyzed by means of orbits of the rotor as well as fast Fourier transforms (FFTs).

Abstract In this paper the dynamic stiffness method is developed to analyze a rotating asymmetric shaft, i.e. a shaft whose transverse section is characterized by dissimilar principal moments of inertia. The shaft is modeled according to the Rayleigh beam theory including the effects of both translational and rotational inertia, and gyroscopic moments. The mathematical description is carried out in a reference system rotating at the shaft speed and is based on the exact solution of the governing differential equations of motion. The exact expressions of the shaft displacements are utilized for deriving the 8 × 8 complex dynamic stiffness matrix of the shaft. A new relationship is obtained which links the dynamic stiffness matrix of the asymmetric shaft to the 4 × 4 real dynamic stiffness matrix of the axisymmetric shaft.

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.

The free vibration and damping characteristics of rotating shaft with passive constrained layer damping (CLD) are studied. The shaft is made of fiber reinforced composite materials. A composite beam theory taking into account transverse shear deformation is employed to model the composite shaft and constraining layer. The equations of motion of composite rotating shaft with CLD are derived by using Hamilton’s principle. The general Galerkin method is applied to obtain the approximate solution of the rotating CLD composite shaft. Numerical results for the rotating CLD composite shaft with simply supported boundary condition are presented; the effects of thickness of constraining layer and viscoelastic damping layers, lamination angle, and rotating speed on the natural frequencies and modal dampings are discussed.

Torsional vibration analysis of the propulsive shaft system of a marine engine—one of the most important tasks in preliminary ship design—is carried out today by either the Holzer method, the transfer matrix method (TMM), or the finite-element method (FEM). Of the three methods, Holzer is the most popular and is adopted by shipyards worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to present an analytical-and-numerical-combined method (ANCM) to improve the drawbacks of existing methods. In comparison with the Holzer method (or TMM), the presented ANCM has the following merits: the mass of the rotating shaft is inherently considered, the damping effect is easily tackled, and the forced vibration responses due to various external excitations are obtained with no difficulty. Since the order of the overall property matrices for the equations of motion derived from the ANCM is usually lower than that derived from the conventional finite-element method (FEM), the CPU time required by the former is usually less than that required by the latter, particularly in the forced vibration analysis. Besides, the sizes (and the total number) of the elements for the FEM have a close relationship with the locations of the disks and the dampers and so does the accuracy of the FEM, but various distributions (or locations) of the disks and the dampers will not create any problems for the ANCM.
