An attempt has been made to consider the thermal effect on the transverse vibration of a high-speed rotating disk in a steady-state heat conduction. The material of the disk, in this case, is assumed to be thermomechanically anisotropic. The present attempt is made with an objective to provide some theoretical studies on the problem that may serve as a base from which more detailed investigations with regard to the usage of composite material may be attempted to gain new and needed design information regarding turbine disks and thereby to reduce the chances of turbine failure. In this connection a new critical speed of disk rotation has been obtained and consequently this critical speed is found to depend on central temperature, thermomechanical anisotropy, and so forth.

An attempt has here been made to consider the thermal effect on the transverse vibration of a spinning disk of variable thickness. For a comprehensive study of the problem, it has been assumed that the rate of generation of heat is fixed per unit volume. Consequently, it is observed that such a heat-generation influences the natural frequency of vibration considerably and thereby the traveling waves which happen to be moving around the disk-circumference during vibration. Toward the end of the paper it has also been shown that there may exist an additional condition for the formation of a standing wave other than the condition of coincidence of backward speed of the traveling waves with the forward speed of disk-rotation in the absence of chosen thermal distribution.

ABSTRACTDescribed are results showing that an oscillating flow-field can induce spatially periodic composition variations in electrodeposited NiFe films. Flow-induced NiFe composition modulated alloys (CMA's) were deposited on the disk of a rotating disk electrode by oscillating the disk rotation rate during galvanostatic plating. Deposit composition and structure were investigated using potentiostatic stripping voltammetry and scanning probe microscopy. Results illustrate a linear relationship between the composition modulation wavelength and the flow oscillation period. CMA's with wavelengths less than 10 nm can be fabricated when plating with a disk rotation rate oscillation period less than 3 seconds.

Abstract Radial tires for automobiles were subjected to high speed rolling under load on a testing wheel to determine the critical speeds at which standing waves started to form. Tires of different makes had significantly different critical speeds. The damping coefficient and mass per unit length of the tire wall were measured and a correlation between these properties and the observed critical speed of standing wave formation was sought through use of a circular membrane model. As expected from the model, desirably high critical speed calls for a high damping coefficient and a low mass per unit length of the tire wall. The damping coefficient is particularly important. Surprisingly, those tire walls that were reinforced with steel cord had higher damping coefficients than did those reinforced with polymeric cord. Although the individual steel filaments are elastic, the interfilament friction is higher in the steel cords than in the polymeric cords. A steel-reinforced tire wall also has a higher density per unit length. The damping coefficient is directly related to the mechanical loss in cyclic deformation and, hence, to the rolling resistance of a tire. The study shows that, in principle, it is more difficult to design a tire that is both fuel-efficient and free from standing waves when steel cord is used than when polymeric cords are used.

Gas foil bearings (GFBs) satisfy the requirements for oil-free turbomachinery, i.e., simple construction and ensuring low drag friction and reliable high speed operation. However, GFBs have a limited load capacity and minimal damping, as well as frequency and amplitude dependent stiffness and damping characteristics. This paper provides experimental results of the rotordynamic performance of a small rotor supported on two bump-type GFBs of length and diameter equal to 38.10mm. Coast down rotor responses from 25krpm to rest are recorded for various imbalance conditions and increasing air feed pressures. The peak amplitudes of rotor synchronous motion at the system critical speed are not proportional to the imbalance introduced. Furthermore, for the largest imbalance, the test system shows subsynchronous motions from 20.5krpm to 15krpm with a whirl frequency at ∼50% of shaft speed. Rotor imbalance exacerbates the severity of subsynchronous motions, thus denoting a forced nonlinearity in the GFBs. The rotor dynamic analysis with calculated GFB force coefficients predicts a critical speed at 8.5krpm, as in the experiments; and importantly enough, unstable operation in the same speed range as the test results for the largest imbalance. Predicted imbalance responses do not agree with the rotor measurements while crossing the critical speed, except for the lowest imbalance case. Gas pressurization through the bearings’ side ameliorates rotor subsynchronous motions and reduces the peak amplitudes at the critical speed. Posttest inspection reveal wear spots on the top foils and rotor surface.

This paper presents a semi-graphical approach for finding the first critical speed of a stepped shaft with finite bearing stiffness. The method is particularly applicable to high-speed turbine rotors with journal bearings. Using Rayleigh's Method and the exact solution for whirling of a uniform shaft with variable support stiffness, estimates of the lowest critical speed are easily obtained which are useful in the design stage. First critical speeds determined by this method show good agreement with values computed by the Prohl Method for the normal range of bearing stiffness. A criterion is also established for determining if the criticals are "bearing critical speeds" or "bending critical speeds," which is of importance in design. Discusser E. G. Baker

Abstract A model for the in-plane oscillations of a thin rotating disk has been derived using a nonlinear strain measure to calculate the disk energy. This accounts for the stiffening of the disk due the radial expansion resulting from its rotation. The corresponding non-dimensionalized natural frequencies are seen to depend only on rotation speed and have been calculated. The radially expanded disk configuration is linearly stable over the range of rotation speeds studied here. The sine and cosine modes for all nodal diameters couple to each other at all nonzero rotation speeds and the strength of this coupling increases with rotation speed. This coupling causes the reported frequencies of the stationary disk to split. The zero, one and two nodal diameter in-plane modes do not have a critical speed corresponding to the vanishing of the backward travelling wave frequency. The use of a linear strain measure in earlier work incorrectly predicts instability of the rotating equilibrium and the existence of critical speeds in these modes.

A rotating disk with varying thickness and inhomogeneity, and subjected to a steady, inhomogeneous temperature field is analyzed. To handle the arbitrary profile, the disk is discretized into a series of uniform annular disks possessing constant material properties and then solved by the step-reduction method. Analytic expressions for thermoelastic stresses are given, and based on these results, the formulation is extended to include the calculation of shrink fit, the solving of the inverse problem for equistrength rotating disks, and the computations of plastic stresses and creep at elevated temperatures.
