Rotordynamics - Motivation
Background
The general equation of motion in matrix form is:
M u C u K u F t
Background
For Rotor Dynamics, this equation becomes:
M u G C u B K u F t
Where the additional terms are:
G : The gyroscopic matrix, which depends on the rotational velocity (or
velocities) of the analysis model.
B : The rotating damping matrix, also depends upon the rotational
velocities. It modifies the apparant stiffness of the model and can produce
unstable motion.
Background
Typical applications include:
High speed machinery such as turbine engine
rotors, computer disk drives, etc.
Seals - very small rotor-stator clearances
Flexible bearing supports
Rotor Instability
Rotordynamics analysis aims at:
Finding Critical Speeds (Campbell diagrams)
Calculating unbalance response
Calculating response to base excitation
Predicting Rotor Whirl and system stability
Simulating transient start-up and shutdown
