ABSTRACT

An analysis and a computer program for determining

the steady-state response of a general rotor-bearing system, based

on the concept of a dynamic stiffness matrix, are presented in

this thesis. The rotor is idealized as an axial assemblage of beam

elements that have continuous mass and isotropic, elastic properties.

These properties are developed by using the Bernoulli-Euler beam

theory equations to form the dynamic stiffness matrix. Transverse

shear effects are neglected. Gyroscopic coupling effects, asym

metric linearized bearing properties, and unbalanced loading are

represented as optional end effects on the beam elements. The

development necessitated the use of complex variables to account

for the coupling of motion in the two coordinate bearing planes.

From the above development, a computer program was written

and was applied to four test cases in order to identify the ad

vantages and limitations of this technique. Test case one inves

tigated the effects of support stiffness on the critical speeds of

a uniform elastic rotor. The rotor response, up to and through the

third critical speed agreed with theoretical results within 2%.

Test case two involved a uniform elastic rotor supported at its

ends in fluid-film bearings and demonstrated the program's ability

to predict elliptical whirl orbits. Critical speed investigations

of several overhung shaft-disk combinations, presented in test

case three, predicted results within 2% of the experimental values

observed by Dunkerley. Presented in test case four are the

unbalance response curves for two overhung rotor configurations, a

one disk and a three disk model. Correlations with the experimental

and analytical results of Lund and Orcutt are also presented for

these two models.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

All rotors will deflect and whirl under the influence of

unbalanced forces. Even the strictest of balancing procedures

fail to totally eliminate the rotor residual unbalance. For a

high speed flexible rotor running near any of its critical speeds,

the unbalanced forces are capable of causing large amplitude build

up. Unless dissipation of energy is allowed (i.e. damping), the

response at a critical speed theoretically would be infinite.

Experimental observations by Lund and Orcutt [15 J and other

investigators, have shown that the conventional critical speed

calculations, which includes the bearing flexibility but not

the bearing damping, tend to give values for the critical speeds

which are lower than the ones actually observed. Inclusion of

the bearing flexibility in the calculations lowers the critical

speed, while bearing damping usually has the opposite effect. An

unbalance response analysis involves the calculations of rotor

response, due to unbalance, at specified speeds throughout a

speed range. The actual critical speeds can be determined from

a series of unbalance response calculations by plotting rotor

response vs. speed to locate the response peak.

High speed rotor applications have generated the need for a

more accurate analysis of the total rotor-bearing dynamic problem.

Such an analysis would include investigation of critical speeds,

unbalance response, balancing and instability. Each of these

areas play an important role in the overall rotor vibration prob

lem-.- Although problems in each of these areas may existsimul-

Page 14: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

taneously in a single high speed rotor application, the complexity

of a combined analysis makes the solution useless for practical

purposes.

The current trend in the published literature (i.e. Lund and

Orcutt [15], Rieger [18] and Ruhl and Booker [17], etc.) is to

combine certain aspects of the rotor-bearing problems into a single

analysis. This is made possible with the new generation digital,

analog, and hybrid computers available. The engineer can formulate

a more complex and accurate mathematical representation of the

physical system, without fear of how to handle the ensuing equations.

Critical speed and unbalance response calculations are an

integral step in the design analysis of any rotating system. The

critical speeds of a proposed design must be known so that none

occur in the operating speed range. A critical speed may be de

fined as ;

"The rotor speed at which local maximum-amplitude

occurs. Where no gyroscopic effect occurs, the

critical speeds coincide with the systems natural

frequencies."

[22.1

In the general case, machine run up and run down would

require the rotor to pass through several of its critical speeds.

However, the rotor system is a uniform elastic structure which

theoretically possesses an infinite number of critical speeds.

Therefore, to be mathematically correct in representing the rotor,

a model should be chosen which reflects the effects of the higher

modes, even at the lower speeds. Also, by choosing a model which

includes the bearing forces with their associated stiffness and

damping coefficients, the effects of bearing damping may be inves

tigated.

Page 15: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

3

With the information obtained from the unbalance response

investigation of a proposed rotor-bearing design, the sensitivity

of the system to unbalance may be determined, and the damped

critical speeds of the system may be located. Generally, this

information will then be combined with a balancing procedure to

minimize the rotor amplitudes in the operating speed range.

This thesis is concerned with the development of a proce

dure , based on the dynamic stiffness matrix concept, for the

unbalance response of a general rotor-bearing system. Several

general procedures and computer programs are available in the

open literature for design use, as discussed by Rieger [39] .

The procedure and computer program developed in this thesis are

not meant to supersede the existing response programs, but merely

to introduce an alternative approach to the problem. The use

of the dynamic stiffness matrix concept allows the derivation

of one stiffness matrix which includes shaft dynamic stiffness,

distributed mass effects, lumped mass effects, rotary inertia,

and gyroscopic stiffening effects directly. The procedures

ability to accurately calculate the rotor response, due to un

balance is the key point which is investigated. In depth inves

tigation of the relative efficiency of this procedure compared

to the existing procedures is left as a recommendation for future

work.

2.0 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

In this thesis, a unified matrix formulation for the steady-

state unbalance response of a flexible rotor in fluid-film bear

ings is presented. The term unified refers to the use of a right-

handed set of Cartesian coordinates and the sign conventions, as

used in elasticity theory. The procedure developed is based on

the dynamic stiffness matrix concept and involves the axial assem

bly of "rotorelements"

to represent a true rotor-bearing configu

ration. A "rotorelement"

refers to a uniform section of an elas

tic beam with optional end bearings and disks. A "rotorelement"

may be constructed from the following components;

1. A uniform section,, elastic beam which is continuous,

homogeneous, isotropic, and satisfies the Bernoulli-

Euler beam theory. Young's modulus E, weight density f^

cross-sectional area A, and transverse inertia I, are

all assumed to be constant along the beam element of

In the axial assembly of several elements it may be necessary

to connect just the right end of a beam section to the left end

of another beam section without any disk, bearing, or unbalance

acting. This is accounted for in the computer program by allowing

the programmer to first build each individual element (with any

combination of end effects acting) and then provides an assembly

procedure to build the structure dynamic stiffness matrix.

The isotropic linear elastic beam element is developed with

distributed mass and elasticity, so that the effects of all the

system modes are included in each calculation. A dynamic stiff

ness matrix for the beam element is derived.

The gyroscopic coupling and concentrated. mass effects of a

disk are derived in matrix form and treated as point effects on

the system (i.e. they act at the ends of a beam element).

The bearing forces are represented by the following linear

equations, as derived by Lund in reference [30],

No attempt shall be made here to derive these equations or the

stiffness and damping coefficients since their derivation is

quite lengthy and beyond the scope of this thesis. However, a

basic description of the derivations is given in Appendix D to

provide some background information. The bearing effects are put

into matrix form for easy handling on the computer and are treated

as point effects in the system.

The general force vector of applied loads is derived for the

unbalanced forces that act at the element ends.

A computational method is developed so that the beam elements

may be axially assembled and the effects of a bearing, a disk, and

unbalanced forces acting at any nodal point (beam end or junction

point) may be represented. A computer program is written for the

element set up and assembly. The dynamic stiffness matrix of the

structure [K^m] is generated and it is inverted for each speed,

such thatj

loads for the structure.

placements and rotations for the structure.

Thus, the nodal displacements are obtained. The whirl el

lipse information is then calculated and plotted vs. speed to

obtain the unbalance response curves. The peak amplitudes of the

response curves locate the systems critical, speeds.

Therefore, the direct calculation of a value for the critical

speeds are not performed in an unbalance response analysis, as is

done in a conventional critical speed calculation.

The thesis problem was formulated in this manner for several

reasons.

1. To investigate the dynamic stiffness matrix concept as

a possible approach in the analysis of rotor-bearing dyna

mics.

2. Matrix notation was used to provide an easy assembly

procedure for idealization of true rotor-bearing systems.

3. To investigate the distributed mass formulation.

4. To investigate the effects of rotary inertia and gyro

scopic stiffening due to disks.

5. To allow any bearing type, for which the eight dynamic

coefficients are available, to be investigated.

3.0 LITERATURE SURVEY

A rotor supported in fluid-film journal bearings is a com

plex dynamical system which exibits a variety of physical char

acteristics such asj critical speeds, instability and unbalance

vibrations. Several general surveys of published work and

state-of-the-art commentaries on Rotor-Bearing System Problems

hav$ been presented in the open literature. Bishop [34], in

1959, discussed the unbalance response literature concerning

rotors having distributed mass and elastic properties (29 refer

ences). Dimentberg [35] , in 1961, outlined many of the foreign

contributions on unbalance response and rotor stability (52

references). In 1965, Rieger C29]presented a comprehensive

review of the American and British literature and collated the

major results on critical speed, unbalance response,rotor-

balancing and other important aspects of rotor-bearing system

performance (162 references). Bishop and Parkinson [36] , in

1968, presented a review paper covering the publications on

unbalance response, stability and flexible rotor balancing t93

references). In 1973 t Rieger [19J reviewed the published lit

erature on unbalance response and balancing of flexible rotors.

Some of the major topics discussed were $ nonsynchronous whirl,

dissimilar rotor stiffness, coupled bending-torque and bending-

axial effects, computer analysis of rotor-bearing system, balanc

ing principles and criteria, and foreign language contributions.

This thesis is concerned with rotor response which is due to

unbalance and with the critical speeds of a rotor-bearing system.

Page 21: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

The published work related to these two fields will be discussed.

Furthermore, since the literature is so extensive, and several

general surveys have been made, only major contributions will

be reviewed and no consideration will be given to the literature

on either rotor stability or flexible rotor balancing.

Rankine [ ll, in I869, was the first to perform a dynamical

analysis of a rotating shaft. He derived a formula, which gave

the critical speed as an eigenvalue, for the cases of a simple

shaft in end bearings and for an overhung shaft supported in a

shoulder at one end. Although his analysis was correct, the

fact that the mechanics of shaft whirl was not completely un

derstood at this time led to the erroneous conclusion that criti

cal speeds were dynamically unstable conditions, beyond which

shaft operation would cause excessive amplitude build-up.

In I895, Dunkerley [ 2 ] performed extensive experimental

work on the measurement of critical speeds of a number of shaft-

disk combinations. After observing the critical speed, calcu

lations using Reynolds theory for shaft-disk combinations were

performed and good correlation was obtained.

The misconception of critical speed instability was finally

resolved by Jeffcott [ 3]# in 1919. He performed a thorough anal

ysis of the response of a damped flexible rotor in rigid bearings.

due to a specified unbalance. Jeffcott's model demonstrated

the important features of shaft whirl up to and through the

first critical speed, bending mode. However, the model did not

include disk inertia effects, accurate bearing representation,

or the higher criticalspeeds'

effects.

Page 22: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

10

Following Jeffcott, several investigators examined the

problem in more detail. Smith [4], in 1933, presented a com

prehensive analysis of the unbalance whirl and stability of a

flexible rotor in flexible bearings, thus, taking the first

step toward a true rotor-bearing analysis. Robertson [53, in

1934, examined the effects of damping on the unbalance response

and critical speeds ofJeffcott'

s model.

The first study intended for design use was presented by

Prohl [6], in 1945. He devised a method whereby a rotor could

be represented by discrete masses joined by massless flexible

springs. The analysis included bearing flexibility but no damp

ing and was formulated as a set of recurrence equations. This

procedure was only capable of calculating critical speeds and the

corresponding mode shapes, and not for the unbalance response.

The next major contribution came from Green [8], in 1948.

He investigated the whirling of several shaft-disk systems in

which he included the gyroscopic effects in the critical speed

calculations. It was shown that the gyroscopic action tended

to stiffen the rotor and thus raise the critical speed. Also,

when the disk motion could be described by pure translation

(i.e. centrally located disk) no gyroscopic action was present.

Hagg [7J# in 1947, putJeffcott'

s flexible single-disk

rotor in bearings with identical radial stiffness and damping

properties and performed an unbalance response analysis. The

influence of bearing stiffness and damping properties on the

calculation of critical speeds was shown to be significant.

Page 23: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

11

This study encouraged the more rigorous investigation of Linn

and Prohl [9 J, in 1951. They analyzed the effect of bearing

flexibility on the critical speed of flexible rotors and pre

sented their results in the form of a critical speed map

(i.e. critical speed vs. support stiffness).

In the years 1953-1963, extensive work was published by

Yamamoto and was collected into a single manuscript in reference

[383. Yamamoto presents comprehensive analytical and experimen

tal studies of the synchronous forward and backward precessional

whirling of a flexible rotor in rigid and flexible bearings.

Emphasis was placed on studies of the critical speeds which

arise when double row and single row rolling-element bearings

were employed. Forced response of sub-harmonic and "summed

and differentialharmonic"

oscillations are included. Also,

nonsynchronous whirling of asymmetrical rotors and the zones

of instability due to bearing pedistals and various aspects of

the rolling-element bearings are discussed in detail. This

series of papers presents a very detailed treatment of rolling-

element bearing rotordynamic problems.

Warner CLO], in 19&2, extended Hagg's model to a two-disk

flexible rotor, without disk inertia effects supported in two

bearings having identical stiffness and damping properties,

thereby extending the analysis through the second critical

speed.

Lund and Sternlicht [ll] , in I962 presented the first

analysis to include the direct and cross-coupled stiffness and

Page 24: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

12

damping properties of the bearing, which were obtained by

solving the linearized Reynold's equation. They studied the

response of a flexible single disk rotor in several types

of fluid-film bearings and found that the bearing properties

greatly influenced the rotor response and attenuation of

transmitted bearing forces.

Morrison [12], in 1962, made a similar analysis of an

elastic rotor that was supported in fluid-film bearings. The

dynamic stiffness and damping properties of the bearings were

derived from the short (Ocvirk) bearing theory. Equations

for critical speed and rotor response are derived and experimental

verification is given. When full account was taken of the

dynamic bearing characteristics, two critical speeds were

calculated and observed. This was attributed to the asymmetric

properties of the bearing coefficients.

Lund [13], in 1965 published a computer program for the

unbalance response of flexible rotors supported on several

fluid-film bearings. Splined couplings and massive bearing

pedestals could also be accounted for in this program. The

analysis is an extension of the Myklestad -Prohl method, where

the rotor is divided into a number of discrete mass stations and

connected by weightless flexible bars. Gyroscopic stiffening

effects are also included at the mass stations. Unlike the

Myklestad-Prohl method, this analysis holds for any speed and

the rotor response, due to unbalance, may be calculated through

out a speed range. No experimental varification or check out

Page 25: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

13

of the computer program is given.

Morton [14], in 1965-66, presents experimental and theo

retical data on the unbalance whirl of generator rotors. The

analysis is presented in a matrix formulation for easy handling

on the computer, using a receptance formulation developed by

Bishop, [25] , in 1955. An experimental procedure, for finding

the linearized receptances of both the bearing oil film and

of the pedestals is described. The analysis shows that three

flexible modes are adequate for identifying the flexural char

acteristics of a rotor. Experimental tests showed that the

rotor may be considered as an undamped structure whose char

acteristics may be predicted with good accuracy by established

techniques, such as the Myklestad technique or the Receptance

approach developed by Gladwell and Bishop [37]. The character

istics of supporting structure were not as completely defined.

Lund and Orcutt [15] , in 19&7- presented an exhaustive

analytical and experimental investigation of the unbalance

response of a flexible rotor. The analysis is an extension of

Lund's earlier work using Prohl *s transfer matrix method. The

rotor is represented by cylindrical bar sections connected at

stations along the axis of the rotor. At each station disk

gyroscopic effects and bearing reaction forces may be added. The

bearings are represented by eight speed dependent stiffness and

damping coefficients. In general the unbalance response will

be elliptical, but due to the bearing type used the orbits are

actually circular. Rotor unbalance, rotary inertia and gyroscopic

Page 26: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

14

moments in the bar itself are ignored, for simplicity. Data

for three rotor test configurations are presented, one disk,

two disk and three disk assemblies. Good agreement is ob

tained between test results and calculated results for all

three configurations,

Rieger [18], in 1971, presented an unbalance response an

alysis for a uniform flexible rotor in plain cylindrical fluid-

film bearings for speeds up to twenty tines the lowest rigid-

bearing critical speed. The mass and elastic properties are distri

buted along the length of the rotor, thus the effects of all the

modes are felt in each rotor calculation. Influence of rotor

speed, bearing operating eccentricity, relative stiffness of

rotor and bearings, and unbalance location along the rotor is

investigated. Results are presented as dimensionless parameters

so that a wide range of rotor-bearing configurations may be

covered. Charts of the rotor maximum whirl amplitude and

the transmitted bearing force vs. speed are presented. No

provision for the addition of disks was given in the analysis. The

results obtained were verified by using a discrete mass rotor

bearing program which accepted direct and cross-coupled bearing

coefficients. Rieger 's distributed mass-elastic model presents

new parametric insight into the problem and has stimulated the

dynamic stiffness matrix approach which is developed in this

thesis.

Ruhl [16], in 1970, and Ruhl and Booker [17], in 1971, de

veloped a finite element model for stability and unbalance re

sponse analyses of rotor systems. The finite element model is

developed with a consistent mass matrix thus giving a more

Page 27: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

15

accurate representation of mass throughout the system. The

eight bearing coefficients are derived from the Ocvirk short

bearing theory. A comparison of the finite element model to

the lumped mass pregression technique of Lund [13]in calculating

the response due to unbalance, indicates a more accurate so

lution with fewer degrees of freedom using the finite element

model,

Rieger [39], in June, 1974, presented a state-of-the-art

review of the nature and functioning of computer programs for

rotor-bearing dynamic analysis. Current program approaches to

critical speed, unbalance response, stability, torional analysis,

and balancing are reviewed. The strengths and weaknesses of

these present capabilities for rotor-bearing dynamic analysis

are identified. The greatest strengths of the critical speed

and unbalance response programs are the generality with which

they are written (i.e. number of rotor sections permitted,

number of bearings, and number of substructure levels) and user

convenience options. The lack of accurate bearing dynamic

coefficients, seal coefficients, foundation data, neglection of

shear effects, and experimental validation, are some of the

major weaknesses associated with the general rotor-bearing dy

namic calculations. The best documented and most efficient

program for critical speed analysis was CADENSE 26 developed by

J. Lund. The most comprehensive rotor-bearing system analysis

program was identified as GIBERSON, developed by M. Giberson,

but no user's manual is available for the novice programmer.

Program details and comments on the state-of-the-art capabilities

for each program category are enumerated in reference [38] .

4.0 DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERAL ROTOR ELEMENT

4.1 Equation of Lateral Vibration for a Uniform Elastic

Beam Element

The free body diagram of a differential length of an

element is shown in figure 1. For convenience, the free

body diagram is divided into two component diagrams-one in

the x-z plane and the other in the y-z plane. The sign con

ventions and subscripts that are used in the following der

ivations are those used in the theory of elasticity. The

derivations of the lateral motion of the beam element in

the two respective coordinate planes have included the

normal assumptions used in the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory

of beam bending. These assumptions are:

1. The element is assumed to be a straight beam in its

undeformed state, and therefore, the Bernoulli-Euler

beam theory applies.

2. The radius of curvature of the deformed beam is large

in comparison to its length, that is, the respective

curvature of the beam in each of the planes is equal

to the second partial derivative of the respective

displacements with respect to the z coordinate.

3. Plane sections remain plane after bending.

4. Deformation due to shearing of one cross-section

relative to an adjacent one is negligible.

5. The beam is free from longitudinal force, gravity

forces and distributed static forces.

Page 29: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

17

In addition, the following assumptions, which are associated

with the motion of the beam, will also be made.

6. The mass is distributed along its neutral axis, and

therefore, rotary inertia of the element is neglected.

7. The gyroscopic or Coriolis effects of the beam element

are negligible with respect to those same effects asso

ciated with any lumped masses in the system, and there

fore, they are neglected.

The shear forces and bending moments on the positive face

(right hand end) of the differential element are related to the

respective shear forces and bending moments on the negative face

(left hand side) by assuming that the shear force and bending

moment functions are continuous in z and that terms containing

the elemental length dz to the second and higher powers are

zero in the limit.

An example of the notation used in the following derivations

is:

M - bending moment

Szx- shear force

The first subscript associated with these forces and moments

refers to the direction of the normal of the surface on which

they act. The second subscript refers to the direction in which

they act when refered to the coordinate system. The forces and

moments are positive by definition when they act in a positive

direction on a positive surface or when they act in a negative

direction on a negative surface. Conversely, they are negative

by definition when they act in a negative direction on a posi-

Page 30: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

18

tive surface or when they act in a positive direction on a

negative surface. Throughout the derivations, right handed

cartesian coordinate systems will be used where i, j_t and

k are the unit vectors in the x, yf and z directions

respectively.

4.2 The Dynamic Stiffness Matrix CK3, in the x-z and y-z

plane, due to End Shearing Forces and Bending Moments

The equations of lateral motion derived in section 4.1

are used to develop a method for calculating the steady-

state response of a uniform elastic beam subjected to shear

ing forces and bending moments concentrated at its ends.

Since the end forces and moments act only at the ends of the

beam, they may be accounted for in the end conditions and

therefore do not enter into the equations of motion. The

forces and moments at each section will be assumed to vary

as a harmonic function of time, with a common angular fre

quency SL, For convenience, the complex notation, Re1

,

will be used instead of cosiit, where i= (~y ,-&-= angular

frequency, t-time, and R denotes the real part. This allows

a more general and efficient derivation to obtain the steady-

state solution.

The steady-state solution for the lateral displacement u,

of the beam, may be obtained by the standard separation of

variables technique as discussed by Timoshenko L28] . The

displacement u is assumed to be equal to the product of a

spatial function, U(z), and a time function, T(t). The dis

placement u may be written as,

IA-=

L/C*j (21)

where, U(z) is a function of z alone ande1 ^

is the assumed

form of T(t). Substitution of equation (21) into equation (11)

gives;

moments, on an element of length^, and the assumed positive

directions for displacement and rotation, in each of the

respective coordinate planes, where the superscripts indicate

the end position.

product of a spatial function V(z) and a time function T(t).

The displacement v may be written as,

where V(z) is a function of z alone ande1^

4'. 3 The Dynamic Stiffness Matrix for a Uniform Elastic Beam

in Two Dimensions Based on Closed Form Exact Solutions

For an isotropic homogeneous uniform elastic beam, it

was shown in the previous section that the dynamic stiffness

matrices on the two orthogonal planes were symmetric, as

is expected. The two stiffness matrices may be combined to

give one symmetric stiffness matrix for the beam, relating

end forces and moments to end displacements and rotations.

Referring to figure 2 in section 4.2 it is seen that the

steady-state motion of the beam is completely expressed in

terms of the displacements and rotations at its ends. Thus,

8 degrees of freedom (two displacements and two rotations

in each plane at each end) are needed to specify the beam

motion. Equations (34) and (48) in section 4,2 are express

ions relating applied end loads to end displacements,

equation (34) holds for the x-z plane and equation (48)

holds for the y-z plane. These equations are restated here,

for convenience:

The dynamic stiffness matrix, [_KE] , includes the mass

effects directly as well as the stiffness effects. Therefore,

a separate mass matrix, either lumped or consistent, need

not be developed. The force and displacement vectors in

equation (52) are arranged as shown for ease in axial

assembly of a system of beams, also it was found that this

arrangement gave the smallest bandwidth for the structural

dynamic stiffness matrix of an axial assembly of elements.

4'.4 Axial Assembly of a System of Uniform Elastic Beam Elements

Equation (52) in the previous section is a general express

ion for force and corresponding displacement relations of a

single element. Consider two general elements to be joined

together in the axial direction. At the junction between the

n and n+1 beam surfaces, the sum of the internal forces must

equal the external forces, thus insuring force equilibrium.

Also, geometric continuity must be preserved, thus insuring

displacement compatibility. This implies that the displace

ments at the common junction for beams n and n+1 must be

equal. Figure 3 shows the convention for axial assembly of

the elements. The subscripts on 17,,"^ , and ^ have the follow

ing meaning; first subscript refers to the beam end (i.e.

1 - left end, 2 - right end), the second subscript refers to

the beam number. A left to right sequencing of numbers is

used for both beam number and the node number. (The term node

here refers to the ends of a beam or a common junction point

and should not be confused with the natural nodes or zero

deflection points of a vibrating system.) Here the system

consists of two general beam elements, n and n+1 (or beam n=l

4.5 Effects on the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix due to Fluid-Film

Bearings at the Ends of the Beam Element.

The previous sections were concerened with developing a

method for obtaining the steady-state solution of a system of

beams, assembled in the axial direction. Section 4.4 provided

the following matrix equation (54),

where JKSy] is a 12x12 matrix of real numbers and relates applied

end forces and moments to end displacements and rotations of

the assembly of beam elements. What is sought in this section

is the effects on the structure stiffness matrix [KsyJ due to

the addition of a fluid-film bearing at a node between the n

and n+1 beam elements.

Consider a thin massless bearing, acting at the node between

the n and n+1 beam elements. The bearing cannot create an addi

tional moment and serves to transmit shear forces and bending

moments between adjacent beam elements.

Figure 5 shows the free body diagram of the general beam

element assembly. The bearing forces which arise are due to the

positive beam displacements u, v and velocities u, v , at node

ntl. The dynamic bearing forces are represented by 4 linear

stiffness and 4 linear damping coefficients which are speed

dependent, Kxx, Kx , ...and Dxx, Dxy, ..., such as those

derived by Lund in reference [30] and take the form,

and all other notation is as previously defined. This type of

bearing representation assumes that no additional moment effects

are created by the bearing, i.e. no significant restraint is

offered by the bearing to the shaft slope. The following analysis

will allow any type of fluid-film bearing, for which the eight

dynamic coefficients are available, to be investigated. Rigid

bearings may also be represented by assuming large direct

stiffness terms (Kxx, K^) and all cross- coupled stiffness and

all damping terms to be zero.

It is seen that the matrix [kg] contains complex terms.

Therefore, the displacements and forces will now be complex

and must be treated as such. Rather than break this matrix up

into two real matrices, to work with on the computer, the complex

matrix will be retained and all force and displacement vectors

will be treated as complex ,( i.e. F=FR+iFj , K=KR+iKj,

and a =

^1-

Z^x ) .

Equation (63) represents the terms which must be added to

the structure stiffness matrix [_KSyJ , as shown in equation (62),

and reflects the effects on the structure due to the addition

of a bearing at a general node between the n and n+1 beam

elements.

For the development to be completely general, provision

must be made so that the effects of a bearing may be added at

one end of the element and not necessarily the other. The

following sample problem will illustrate this point.

It is seen that the effects of a bearing on the left end of

element 1 and on the right end of element 3, 'must be taken into

consideration. From figure 5 and equation (63) it is seen that

if element n were not there, the bearing effects could be

associated with the left end of element n+1. Conversely if

element n+1 were not there, the bearing effects could be associate:

with the right end of element n. Also, by eliminating one of the

elements the matrix reduces to 8x8. Two matrices, one to reflect

the effects of a bearing added at the left end of an element,

the other to reflect the effects of a bearing added at the

right end of an element, may be written as follows;

The complex matrices [_Kg J and [Kg] will be used in the

computer program to represent the effects on the dynamic stiffness

matrix Kg due to the addition of bearings at the ends of

beam elements. On the computer real matrices may be added

directly to complex matrices yielding a complex matrix. Therefore,

[KjjJ and [kJ may be added directly to [ke] giving a complex

structural stiffness matrix. This implies that the force and

displacement vectors must now be complex and therefore treated

as such on the computer.

4.6 Effects on the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix due to Disks

at the Ends of the Beam Element.

In the previous section the effects, on the stiffness

matrix [ke] , due to the addition of bearings to the system

were found, A similar procedure will be applied in this section

to find the effects on the stiffness matrix due to the addition

of disks to the system.

When a disk, whose diameter is large in relation to its

thickness, is to be included in the structure, it is necessary

to take into account the rotary inertia and gyroscopic or Coriolis

effects, as well as the concentrated mass effects, when calcu

lating the response of the structure, as discussed by Green

in reference L8j . The gyroscopic or Coriolis effects come about

from the rate of change of the angular momentum of the rotating

disk when the structure flexes and causes the angular momentum

vector of the rotating disk to change direction.

It will be assumed here that these effects are concentrated

at the e.g. of the disk and that the disk e.g. coincides with

a node of the beam. Figure 6 is a free body diagram of the

disk, showing the forces and moments acting on the disk, which

would be necessary to maintain the motion.

These are the elastic forces and moments of the shaft

acting on the disk. The sign convention for the positive direc

tions of angular motion are as shown and the small set of stationary

axes are parallel to the large set of axes,with its origin fixed

at the e.g. of the disk. Assume the disk is rotating at a constant

speed CTL about the oz axis. The equations of angular motion of the

Page 61: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

49

disk with respect to its center of gravity can be obtained

by using the principle of angular momentum which states;

(with respect to the e.g.)

"The rate of increase of the total moment of momentum

of any moving system about any axis through the e.g.

is equal to the total moment of the external forces

about this axis."

[28]

The principal axes of inertia are such that they form a

Cauchy InertiaEllipsoid'

of revolution; that is, due to

symmetry of the disk there are an infinite number of principal

axes of inertia in the x-y plane. The polar mass moment of inertia

associated with the neutral axis z is defined as Ip, and the

transverse mass moment of inertia associated with any axis

in the x-y plane is defined as L. It is assumed that the disk

rotates about the neutral axis, z, at a constant angular velocity,

Si. The rotations of the disk about the x and y axis are

assumed to be small as defined by linear elasticity.

Referring to the free body diagram of figure 6, the moment

of momentum of the disk about its center of gravity is stated as

follows, with respect to the x, y, z axes,

It is seen that the matrix L K^l contains complex terms. Therefore,

the displacements and forces will be complex in the same manner as

in section 4.5, where a bearing was added to the system.

Equation (85) represents the terms which must be added

to the structure stiffness matrix [Ksy^J , as shown in equation(84) ,

and reflects the effects on the structure due to the addition

of a thin disk at a general node between the n and n+1 beam

4.7 A General Unbalance Force Vector

In section 4.3 the dynamic stiffness matrix for a uniform

elastic beam was developed. Sections 4.5 and 4.6 developed ad

ditional stiffness matrices which could be added directly to the

beam dynamic stiffness matrix to account for the presence of

either a bearing or a disk added at either the left or right

end of a beam section. All of the above mentioned effects are

terms on the right hand side of the general equation.

loads for the whole structure.

LKjtJ _ is -t^g structure dynamic stiffness matrix con

(. STi - is a vector of nodal point displacements and rotati;

This section is concerned with the development of a general

load vector for the left hand side of equation (89). The only

external forces which are assumed to be acting on the nodal points

are due to a specified unbalance in the system. The unbalance forc:

are assumed to arise from a small mass MQ , which has

eccentricity, a, from the geometric center of the beam as shown

in figure 8. The eccentric mass gives rise to a centrifugal

force about the shaft axis which rotates with the shaft speeds .

Referring to figures 8 and 9, and applying Euler's first

and second equations of motion(i.e. equations 1 and 5 in section

4.1) to the end nodes and the middle node where the unbalance

weight is added, and arranging the equation in the same order

Equation (98) is the general equation for shear and moment balance

With these expressions any general rotor system may be

divided up into a number of elements. At the ends of each element

any or all of the following conditions may exist.

The system is described by two uniform elastic beam elements

and three nodes. At nodes 1 and 3 the bearings are assumed to

be acting, thus equations (65) and (67) can be used to describe

their effects on the system. At node 2 an unbalance force and

a disk are assumed to act (these components may be associated

with either the right end of element 1 or the left end of el

ement 2, since this node is common to both elements). Equations

(92). In order to solve for the nodal displacements the structural

stiffness matrix must be inverted. A general purpose computer pro

gram has been written for the assembly of up to seven elements

and eight nodes. (limited only by the computer core available).

The program constructs the structural dynamic stiffness matrix,

which is in complex form due to the addition of bearing and

disk terms. The program also constructs the complex force

vector. The stiffness matrix is then inverted and postmultiplied

by the complex force vector to give the complex displacement vector.

The displacement vectoris then used, as discussed in Appendix B,

to calculate the steady-state whirl orbit information, i.e. the

major and minor semiaxis of the ellipse and the ellipse angle

from the positive x direction to the major axis of the ellipse.

The above sample problem could have been solved using center-

line symmetry, thus reducing the problem to an 8x8 matrix as follows,

This may be done for any symmetrical rotor, but , in general

for an unsymmetrical system (i.e. over hung disk, out of

5.0 PRESENTATION OF EXAMPLE PROBLEMS

Based on the element developed a computer program (ROTOR)

was written for the matrix computation procedure outlined. Two

other programs, based on alternate techniques, were also used

for the comparison of results in some of the example problems

presented. One of the programs was FINITE5, a finite element

program written for the steady-state unbalance response of rotors.

This program was written by Ruhl in reference [l6] and is used

here for a comparison of results in test case two. The second

program was 1MASS, a program based on the equations developed

in Appendix C for the unbalance response of a lumped one mass

model in identical end bearings. This program was written by

the author and was also used for a comparison of results in test

case two.

Four test cases are presented to provide insight into the

capabilities and limitations of the program developed. The four

test cases to be presented are;

Case 1. Critical Speed Map for a Uniform Elastic Rotor.

A simple rotor with uniform cross-section supported in

simple end bearings (no cross-coupling stiffness or damp

ing coefficients) was investigated in test case one. This

test case was selected to investigate the effect of support

stiffness on the critical speeds of the rotor system. Also,

the developed procedures capability of representing the

continuous mass and elastic properties of the rotor is

investigated. By applying a series of unbalance response

Page 82: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

70

calculations, varying the support stiffness with each

calculation, a critical speed map for the model is gen

erated. The map is obtained by plotting the predicted

critical speeds vs. support stiffness. This critical speed

map is compared with the theoretical results of Linn and

Prohl in reference [9 J ,and the results agree within 2^.

This test case demonstrates the programs capability of

accurately predicting the critical speeds of a rotor-

bearing system.

Case 2. Unbalance Response of a Uniform Elastic Rotor Supported

in Fluid-Film Bearings.

A simple rotor in complex end bearings (all eight bearing

coefficients) was investigated in test case two. This test

case was selected for investigation to determine the

effects of the bearing asymmetric stiffness and damping

properties on the elliptical whirl orbits of the rotor.

Results are compared with those obtained from Ruhl's

program and the one mass model program. The results

demonstrate the programs capability to predict the

elliptical whirl orbits of a rotor-bearing system.

Case 3. Overhung Disk on a Uniform Elastic Shaft in Rigid Bearings.

In test case three a shaft supported in rigid bearings

with an overhung disk was investigated. This model was

selected to analyse the effects on the fundamental critical

speed due to varying the length of the overhung portion

of the shaft, due to gyroscopic coupling and different

concentrated masses of the disk. Results are compared

Page 83: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

71

with the experimental results obtained by Dunkerley in

reference [ 2J. The results demonstrate the programs capa

bility to analyse overhung rotors. No added difficulties

were encountered in applying the procedure to this more

complex rotor-bearing configuration.

Case 4. Lund and Orcutt Test Rotor (MTI rotor) .

Presented here are the results of two overhung rotor con

figurations, a one disk model and a three disk model.

The rotor is supported in flexible bearings. This model

was selected, for investigation since it tests all of the

capabilities of the developed program in a single con

figuration. Results are compared with the analytical

and experimental work of Lund and Orcutt in reference [15] .

The results demonstrate the programs capability to repre

sent a complex rotor bearing configuration where, disks,

bearings, and unbalance forces are working in the system.

Each test case gives full details of the models elastic and

geometric properties and the idealization used to obtain the

results. All results are presented in either tabular or graphical

form. When applying the program in the test cases the following

problem areas were identified.

1. At each speed increment bearing stiffness and damping

coefficients had to be entered. This created extensive

computer input decks for each run.

2. Material properties for the beam elements were assumed

to be the same, thus composite material problems could

Page 84: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

72

not be investigated.

3. In generating the critical speed map, an unbalance

response curve had to be calculated for each point

on the map.

4. The overhung disk investigated in test case three

was an unsymmetrical system. Thus, the bearing

forces should have been different for each of the

bearings represented. This was not possible to re

present since the program assumes identical bearings.

5. To excite the modes which were not symmetrical about

the mid-span, other than mid-span unbalance was

necessary. Although this involved only forming a

new idealization, it brings out the important fact

that the axial location and out of phase application

of the unbalance forces dictates to what extent the

higher modes will effect the rotor response.

Page 85: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

73

5.1 Critical Speed Map for a Uniform Elastic Rotor

The critical speeds of a high speed rotor are a primary

concern for the rotor-bearing design engineer, since at these

speeds the rotor amplitudes and transmitted bearing forces are

at a local maximum. This test case is presented to demonstrate

that the dynamic stiffness matrix technique can be used to define

the critical speeds of a rotor-bearing system. The effect of rotor

support stiffness is also investigated and presented in the form

of a critical speed map (speed vs. support stiffness). By plotting

rotor response vs. speed, the critical speeds may be found at

the speeds where the rotoa? amplitudes are at a maximum. Having

found the critical speeds for a particular rotor system, other

design parameters may be investigated for their effects on the

system critical speeds.

A rotor experiencing synchronous whirl (unbalance whirl) near

a critical speed will assume the characteristic mode shape

associated with that critical speed. At low speeds and for low

values of support stiffness, the rotor will adopt the rigid mode

shapes (i.e. translatory and conical whirl modes). As the bearing

stiffness is raised the rotor becomes more restrained at the ends

and will start to bend. When the bearing stiffness becomes large

in comparison to shaft flexibility, the rotor becomes pinned in its

bearings and as discussed by Rieger in reference [29] the bending

critical speeds are defined by,

Page 86: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

74

where ^L takes on values ft , 2 /? , 3 7? , ...etc.

Figure 12a shows the rotor-bearing model used in this analysis.

The rotor mass and elasticity are uniformly represented as derived

in section 4.3. The value of E used here was 28.5 x 106psi and

the value ofj>

was .283 lb. /in. 3 . The bearing supports are rep

resented as derived in section 4.5. For this test case the cross-

coupled stiffness and all damping coefficients are assumed to be

zero so as not to unnecessarily complicate the analysis. To excite

the first and third critical speeds, mid-span unbalance was needed

so a model idealization as shown in figure 12b was used. The rotor

was divided into two uniform elastic elements and 3 nodal points.

The bearings were acting at nodes 1 and 3 and the mid-span unbal

ance at node 2. An arbitrary unbalance of .33 oz-in. was used so

that resonable rotor amplitudes could be calculated and plotted.

To excite the second mode a model idealization as shown in figure

12c was used. The rotor was divided into four uniform elastic

elements and 5 nodal points. At nodes 1 and 5 the bearings were

acting.

An unbalance of .33 oz-in was placed at node2 and .33 oz-in

180

out of phase from the unbalance at node 2 was placed at node

4. This was done since node 3 (mid-span) is a true node (zero

deflection point) for the second mode.

The solid lines in figure 13 show the theoretical critical

speed map for this particular rotor model, this was calculated from

Linn and Prohl reference [9]. The circles are points found using

the method developed in this thesis. It is seen that good correla-

Page 87: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

75

tion is obtained. Typical mode shapes corresponding to specified

end conditions (low, medium, and high values of support stiffness)

are shown in figure 13. Figure 14 a-f show the mode shapes found

from this analysis and are seen to correspond with the expected

mode shapes. Figure 15 shows .typical unbalance response curve

from which the critical speed is determined.

This test case has shown that the technique developed is

capable of defining accurately the critical speeds of a rotor-

bearing system. Table 2 gives a comparison of theoretical critical

speeds vs. those found in this analysis. It is seen that the

largest percent difference is 2,0%.

It should be noted that few real bearings retain constant

stiffness with speed change. But, as noted by Rieger in reference

[22] it is only necessary to plot bearing stiffness characteristic

over the rotor critical speed lines, then the point of intersection

are the critical speeds for the rotor-bearing system. Also, the

damping effects are neglected but may be taken into accout by

calculating an effective stiffness and plotting this over the rotor

critical speed map to obtain a closer approximation to the true

critical speeds.

In subsequent test cases it will be seen that the actual rotor-

bearing system critical speeds may be found directly by plotting

the unbalance response of the system vs. speed, since the analysis

includes all the speed dependent stiffness and damping character

istics of the bearing.

5.2 Unbalance Response of a Uniform Elastic Rotor Supported

in Fluid-Film Bearings.

All rotors retain some degree of residual unbalance, even

after balancing [29] . This unbalance causes a rotor to whirl,

and, for the undamped case, the whirling will be maximum when

the rotor speed is coincident with any of the systems natural

frequencies. The unbalance whirl is a stable whirl, since at

successive rotations the whirl orbits traced out are identical,

under steady state conditions. The unbalance response of a

rotor- bearing system involves the calculations of rotor amplitudes

at specified points along the rotor axis and at specified speeds

throughout a speed range.

The mechanics of shaft whirling have been explored by many

researchers as discussed in the literature survey. The early

investigations were generally carried out with a one mass model

and were concerned with establishing the nature of the whirl

motions and investigating the effects of certain parameters;hystere-

damping, flexible bearings, massive pedestals, etc.. This present

test case demonstrates that the method developed accurately

predicts the unbalance response of a simple rotor in complex

bearings(all eight coefficients present). As discussed by

Lund [13J ,the whirl orbits are, in general, elliptical due to

the asymmetric properties of the bearings. The elliptical orbits

will also be tilted with respect to the fixed load line due to

the cross-coupling terms in the bearing representation.

Page 94: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

82

Figure 16-a shows the rotor model under concideration in this

analysis. This model is presented by Ruhl [16] and is used here

so a comparison could be made with a previously investigated case.

Appendix C gives the derivation for the response radius at midspan

and at the bearings for the one mass model representation shown

in figure l6-b. This simple model was developed to give a guide

line for the results from both Ruhl's finite element representation

and the dynamic stiffness matrix representation developed in this

thesis. Also the shortcomings of the one-mass model are investigated.

The test rotor had a total weight of 100 pounds and was

supported in identical short (Ocvirk) bearings. As discussed by

Ruhl [16] , the operation of the rotor bearing system was assumed

to hold the"static"

eccentricity ratio equal to .5throughout

the speed range. Physically this is not true as shown by Lund [3C'J ,

and many other experimenters on the dynamic properties of

fluid-film bearings. This assumption was made to simplify the input

to the computer programs and provides a qualitative example

for comparison between the one-mass model, Ruhl's finite element

model and the dynamic stiffness matrix model. Specific information

about the model is listed in Table 2.

Figure 17 shows the comparison of the one-mass model results

with those found by the dynamic stiffness matrix formulation,

assuming no cross-coupling terms acting. It is seen that the

one-mass model adequately identifies the first bending critical

speed at approximately 5700rpm, but unsatisfactorily represents

thr rotor response, especially at the bearings. Looking at the

bearing response it is seen that after the critical speed is

passed, the distributed mass model predicts higher response values

than does the one mass model. This is resonable since the

distributed mass model by the nature of its formulation includes

the effects of all the system modes in each calculation as dis

cussed by Rieger U.8J . Thus the effects of the higher modes,

will continue to represent the rotor response after passing

through the critical speed.

Figure I8a-b show examples of the model idealizations

used in the analysis by ROTOR and FINITE5. Idealizations of

2, 4, and 6 elements were calculated using Ruhl's finite element

model and the dynamic stiffness matrix model. This was done in

an attempt to investigate the effect of shear deformation

on element refinement. It was found that this was not an

adequate test of the shear effects, since no calculations for

comparison, including the shear terms, were performed. The author

recommends that the shear terms be retained in the equations

of motion developed in section 4.1. Then the corresponding terms

may be developed for inclusion in the dynamic stiffness matrix.

The computer program, FINITE5 , given by Ruhl in reference [l6]

was punched up by the author for use in this analysis. Basically

the results show that both the finite element (FINITE5) and

dynamic stiffness matrix (ROTOR) idealizations converge with the

2 element model and futher model refinement (4 and 6 element

solution) gave practically identical results. Table 3 presents

the results for the 2, 4, and 6 element solutions at two speeds.

Figures 19-20 give the response curves.

At 5500rpm (near the first critical) the response calculated

by ROTOR is 4.73% higher than that calculated by FINITE5. At

l4000rpm the results are 6.63% lower. Two possible explanations

for this result are;

1. It is known that the finite element method, based on the

displacement formulation, provides an upper bound to the

true stiffness of the structure. Thus the calculated

response is lower.

2. The distributed mass formulation gives a better distri

bution to the mass, thus predicting a lower critical speed

i.e. the response curve is shifted to the left thereby

giving higher amplitudes for the same speed.

Page 98: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

86

Looking at the results for the 2, 4, and 6 element solutions,

it is seen that those calculated by FINITE5 are the same for

each idealization. Those calculated by ROTOR are the same for the

2 and 4 element solution but vary for the 6 element solution.

At 5500rpm the % difference is .8% and at l4000rpm it is .08%.

The 6 element solution had a length to diameter ratio of 8.33/3. 0.

Thus for this configuration it is indicated that the shear effects

are negligable. However, nothing definite can be said about

the shear effects, especially at the higher speeds, since a

thourough investigation was not carried out.

A comparison of the finite element model results to those

found in this analysis for the two element solution is shown

in figure 21. The cross-coupling stiffness and damping terms were

not included in the analysis. It is seen that both formulations

give practically identical results. It is seen from the graphs

that both models define the two criticals introduced from the

fact that the bearing stiffnesses in the x and y direction are

unsymmetrical(only a few points are shown on the graph in this

critical zone so that the shape of the curve may be visualized,

but computer runs were made with fine speed increments to

completely investigate this area of the curve and the results

do substantiate the curve). The inclusion of the cross-coupling

terms tended to increase the response at the bearings and had

little effect on the response at the midspan. This is shown in

figure 22 for both the finite element model and the distributed

mass model. Neglecting the cross-coupling terms predicted responses

at the bearings which were approximately 50% lower.

5.3 Overhung Disk on a Uniform Elastic Shaft supported in

Rigid Bearings

This test case is presented to investigate the developed

procedure's ability to analyse shafts with overhung disks.

The model choosen was one of the clasic experimental cases

performed by S. Dunkerley in 1894. The specific set of

experiments are refered to as Case XI in reference {fZ J and

is described as follows.

"Shaft resting on two bearings and overhung on one side,

loaded with a pulley at end of overhanging portion". O"]

The model is shown in Fig. 23. The shaft length L, was

32.18 in. and the diameter D, was .2488 in. . The shaft

weighed .4414 lb. and the experimentally determined value

of Young's modulus E was 27-974x 106psi. The value of weight

density j , was .282 lb. /in.3.

Dunkerley presents experimental results for two different

pulley (disk) sizes and for each pulley size six cases

are presented by varying the ratio of the overhanging portion

of the span. Thus 12 different configurations for the same

basic model are presented. The physical properties of the

disks used in the two models are listed in Table 4.

Table 4.

Page 107: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

95

This problem was investigated in order to analyse the effects

on the fundamental critical speed due to the following three

parameter changes.

1. varying the length of the overhanging portion of the

shaft (C).

2. Different concentrated mass effects due to overhanging

disk.

3. Effect of gyroscopic coupling due to overhung disk.

The model idealization used in the analysis is shown in Fig. 2.1

The length L remains constant while the overhung portion C

will vary. The model is idealized as four beam elements, with

the bearings, disks and unbalance force acting at the proper

node. The bearings in this test case are assumed to be rigid,

therefore only large equal stiffness values need be entered

as input to the computer program. The damping and all cross-

coupling terms were set to zero. Although the bearing reactions

in the physical problem will be different due to the unsymmetri-

cal nature of the problem, the model may still be represented

accurately by two identical bearings since the displacements at

the bearings are substantially smaller than at any point on

the shaft, properly indicating a rigid support.

Table 5 lists the results obtained for the twelve cases. It

is seen that in all cases the % difference between Dunkerley's

experimentally observed results and the predicted values (with

gyroscopic coupling included) is within 2%, Fig. 24 shows

the mode shapes, at the critical speeds, for several of the

test cases. As the overhanging portion is increased the

Page 108: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

96

fundamental mode shape assumes that of a cantilivered beam

with an end mass. The effect on the critical speed due to

varying the overhung length C is shown in Fig. 25. As the

overhung portion C, is increased the critical speed first

increases, hits a peak and then rapidly decreases. This same

trend is evidenced by both disk models (I and II). The author

belives this trend may be explained by noting that the shaft-

disk system is made up of two distinct parts; a section

spanned between two bearings and a overhung section free

at one end. For a light disk and low values of C, the dynamic

characteristics of the span between the bearings will

predominate. As the length of this section is decreased the

natural frequency of the section will increase. This will

continue until at a certain value of C where the dynamic

characteristics of the overhung portion will predominate

and cause the natural frequency to be lowered. Thus with

futher increase in C, the critical speed value drops rapidly.

The same trend appears for the heavier disk but at substantially

lower values for the critical speeds. Intuitively this is

expected since the mass of model II is larger.

After the twelve cases had been completed and good

correlation established, the investigation was continued, this

time neglecting the gyroscopic coupling effects. The concentrated

mass of the disk was allowed to act at the end of the shaft,

but the polar and transverse mass moments of inertia of the

disk were assumed to be zero, thus no gyroscopic coupling.

Table 5 gives the results for the 12 cases with no gyroscopic

coupling. Comparison to the original calculations indicate

verv litte change. This was an unexpected result , which

Page 109: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

97

initiated a discussion with Rieger L^O . It was decided

that the results were not all that unreasonable. First, the

general trend of a reduced value for the critical speed

is shown. By neglecting the gyroscopic coupling the system

is made less stiff indicating a lower critical speed value.

This was observed. Second, a hand calculation of the gyroscopic

coupling terms for a speed of 1400 rpm was made and the values

were compared to the proper terms of the dynamic stiffness

matrix to which they would be added. This comparison

indicated that at this speed the gyroscopic terms were three

orders of magnitude less than the beam dynamic stiffness

terms. A reasonable explanation may now be stated as follows.

Since the disks are light and the speeds are low (lower than

1400 rpm) , the above observations hold for all twelve test

cases and substantiate the predicted results that neglecting

the gyroscopic coupling terms has little effect on the critical

speed value for this problem.

Fig. 26 shows a typical response curve, used to identify

the critical speed. It is seen that the response peak is sharp

and well defined. The fact that no damping was present in this

system explains this result.

This example case has successfully demonstrated the ability

to analyse complex rotor configurations. The ease in problem

set up using this technique is as valuable as the accuracy

of its results.

5.4 Lund - Orcutt Rotor (MTI Rotor)

Lund and Orcutt [15j in I967 presented an extensive

analytical and experimental investigation of the unbalance

response of a rotor in fluid-film bearings. This

investigation was chosen as the final test case to be

presented since it combined all of the special features

which have been developed (i.e. overhung disks with

gyroscopic coupling, complete bearing representation,

unbalance forces and shafts with uniform mass and elastic

properties). In reference 15} "the general analysis and

computational method is presented and applied to calculate

the unbalance response of each of three experimental

rotor configurations supported by tilting-pad bearings.

The analysis is an extension of the Prohl method for cal

culating the critical speeds of a rotor. Lund and Orcutt

included the anisotropic stiffness and damping characteristics

of the fluid-film bearings which couple the rotor motion

in the horizontal and vertical direction. The rotor was

represented by a series of stations connected by shaft

sections of uniformly distributed mass and elastic proper

ties. The equations of motion for the rotor stations, together

with the equations for the shaft sections, established a

set of recurrance formulas by which a step by step calcu

lation of the rotor can be performed. Successive application

of the recurrence formulas allows computing the amplitude,

slope, bending moment, and shear force along the rotor

Page 116: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

104

in terms of the amplitude and slope of the first station.

By back substitution, the amplitude at each station can

finally be calculated. It is the purpose of this test

case to compare the procedure developed to the analytical

and experimental work of Lund and Orcutt.

There are some basic similarities and differences

between Lund andOrcutt*

s developement and that presented

in this thesis, they are;

1. Although Lund and Orcutt included, in the procedure they

presented, the effects of shear deformation in developing

the dynamic influence coefficients, it was not clearly

indicated whether they included the shear effects in their

response calculations, since at the end of the development

they assume that shear is negligable. In the analysis

presented here the shear effects were neglected.

2, The Lund and Orcutt procedure requires a set of re

currence formulas to be solved and by back substitution

the amplitudes are found. In the analysis presented

here, a closed form solution dynamic stiffness matrix

has been developed. The solution requires only to use

this matrix to build up the structural dynamic stiffness

matrix and bearing reactions, disk effects and unbalance

forces are provided for as point effects. The analysis

solves directly for the displacements and rotations at

the stations or nodal points.

3. The bearings, disks and unbalance force representations

are the same for both procedures.

Page 117: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

105

What will be presented here is the unbalance response anal

ysis of two of the three rotor configurations presented

by Lund and Orcutt. The one disk model and the three disk

model will be presented. The two disk model will not be

analysed since it is an unsymmetrical model which causes

the bearing reactions to be different indicating the need

for two different bearing configurations. As noted by

Lund and Orcutt \_)-5~\ the one and two mass models are

greatly influenced by the bearing properties, thus in its

present form the computer program developed can not be

used to accurately represent the two mass model. (Test case

3 was also an unsymmetrical model, but since the bearings

were assumed rigid they did not play an important role

in the overall rotor response).

The two basic models are shown in Fig. 27. Model two

(3 disk rotor) was obtained from model one (one disk rotor)

by attaching two end disks. Model idealizations are shown

in Fig. 28. It is seen that five shaft sections are required

since a node must appear at ends of the rotor, at all

bearing and disk locations and where ever a change in

diameter occurs. The test rotor was a cylindrical steel

shaft(a value of E = 30x10 psi was used, although Lund and Orcutt

never stated) with overall length 4lin. and a diameter of

2.5 in. except for the central integral disk of 6 in. diam

eter and 6 in. length. The rotor weighed 881b. not including

Page 118: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

106

the detachable end masses. The center disk not including

the inner 2.5 in. diameter section weighed 36lb. and the

end disks weighed 181b. each. This information was used

to calculate a value of weight density f ~.256 lb/in^.

This low value of density reflects the fact that machining

of holes in the center and end masses for unbalance weights

was performed. The rotor was supported in fluid film bearings

whose theoretical bearing stiffness and damping properties

are given by Lund and Orcutt [15']. Also the flexibility of

the bearing pad pivots was introduced as a stiffness in

series with the bearing film stiffness. The values for both

theoretical and equivalent bearing stiffness and damping

properties are shown in Fig. 29.

Figs. 30a and b show the theoretical and experimental

results as obtained by Lund and Orcutt for the one mass

model, and the predicted results using the technique devel

oped in this thesis (graphs are for the center and end

positions of the rotor) . It is seen that the predicted

results follow the general trend of the response but are

closer to the experimental results than to the theoretical

results of Lund and Orcutt. Several possible explainations

can be given for this discrepency.

1. The fact that shear deformation was neglected in the

developement in this thesis could explain the higher

predicted value of critical speed. Neglecting the shear

deformation would tend to stiffen the rotor thus indi

cating a higher critical speed.

Page 119: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

107

2. The bearings are flexible and the dynamic properties

might not be correctly specified by the information

provided and as evidenced by Lund and Orcutt 151 these

properties play a big role in the overall rotor response

for this model. It was not explained clearly enough in

reference [151 exactly what bearing coefficients were

used in the analysis.

3. The material properties were not explicitly stated,

therefore reasonable values were assumed which this

author felt closely represented what was being analysed.

4. The exact positions of the measurement planes were not

indicated. It was assummed that measurement planes were at

the ends of the rotor and at the center plane of the rotor.

An interesting result was observed when the damped critical

speed was soyght. Figures 30a and b give these results. For

the one disk model the predicted results were 18.5$ (l6,000rpm)

higher than the experimental results (13,500rpm), and Lund

and Orcutt *s theoretical results were 18,5$ (ll.OOOrpm) lower

than the experimental. Many different configurations were run

to investigate changes in weight density f , bearing dynamic

properties, location of measurement planes and the disk effects

of the center mass. All the parameters investigated had little

effect on the rotor response except for the bearing properties,

and location of the measurement planes.

Page 120: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

108

The response curves for the center and end positions for

the three disk rotor are shown in Fig. 31a and b. Good

correlation is obtained between the experimental and theore

tical results given by Lund and Orcutt. The response curves

are seen to contain a sharp peak around ll,000rpm. An

independent calculation of the third critical speed,free-

free mode, of the three disk rotor system using the Prohl

transfer technique was given by Lund and Orcutt as ll,000rpm.

At this third critical speed the bearings are very close

to the natural nodal points of the rotor and the bearing

properties have little effect on the rotor response. The

good agreement between calculated critical speed and rotor

response in this case verifies the accuracy of the rotor

response program in calculating the characteristics of

the rotor, since the bearing only plays a minor role

in the response. When the bearings do exhibit control

over the rotor response, as with the one disk rotor model,

accurate bearing data must be supplied to obtain good

correlation.

Lund and Orcutt Cl5l calculate values of the undamped

critical speeds for the two rotor bearing systems, using

the Prohl Technique together with the theoretical bearing

stiffness data. These values are given in Table <o .

Comparison of these values to the theoretical and exper

imental response data (both Lund - Orcutt data and data obtained

using the thesis technique) shows that the undamped

Page 121: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

109

critical speed calculations do not accurately identify the

speeds at which maximum amplitudes occur, except for

configurations where the bearings play little role in the

response. The results presented here again affirm that the

rotor response calculations provide valuable information

which is not given by standard critical speed calculations.

6.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The development of a "rotorelement"

and computational

procedure for the steady-state unbalance response of a flexible

rotor in fluid-film bearings has been presented. The character

istics of the distributed mass and elastic properties of the

rotor have been successfully demonstrated. Inclusion of the

complex stiffness terms introduced by bearings and disks working

in the system has been investigated and has shown that these

effects play an important role in the overall rotor response. The

dynamic stiffness matrix developed has shown to be an accurate

means of handling the ensuing equilibrium equations.

Throughout the development, right handed Cartesian coor

dinate systems and elasticity theory notation were used. This

approach made it possible for a logical and uniform development

to be presented. The computational procedure was set up as follows.

The rotor was represented by an axially assembled series of beam

elements with uniform cross-section and distributed mass and

elastic properties. Bearings, disks, and unbalance were included

as optional effects at the ends of each beam element.

Although this procedure provided for easy idealization and

set up of a rotor model, it is felt by the author that it would

have been more efficient (mainly a savings in computer core) to

treat the bearing and disk effects as point effects as discussed

by Pestal and Leckie in reference [27 1 . This would have avoided

the need for developing the matrices [KBJ , [kbJ , [kd] , and [kdJ

in equations 66% 68, 87, and 88. Instead, these effects could

have been added directly into the structure stiffness matrix

Page 130: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

118

merely by knowing the node numbers at which they act. This would

have realized a savings of1.024x10^

words of computer core

(or 6.5%) since each of the above matrices were 8x8, complex, and

double precision.

The developed procedure was applied to the analysis of a

simple uniform shaft in end bearings in test case one. The

uniform distribution of mass and elastic properties within the

element allowed a single model to successfully predict accurate

critical speed values for three modes. Futher investigation is

required for verification of higher modes. It was shown in

figure 13 that at low values of support stiffness the rotor

acts as a rigid body and at the critical speeds it assumes the

rigid rotor mode shapes. At higher values of support stiffness

the rotor becomes pinned in its bearings causing the critical

speed values to substantially increase and the rotor assumes the

flexible rotor mode shapes. The critical speed values were predicts;

within 2% of theoretical values.

Test case two demonstrates that the whirl orbits are

generally elliptical due to the asymmetric properties of the

bearings. The relative amplitudes at the bearings and along the

length of the rotor depend on the amount of unbalance present

and the ratio of shaft stiffness to bearing stiffness. The fic

ticious model investigated in test case two indicates the developed

procedures ability to represent rotor-bearing interactions. Agree

ment with the finite element procedure developed by Ruhl in

reference Q.6] is established. It is seen that the dynamic

stiffness matrix formulation predicts slightly higher response

(4.73$ at 5500rpm) at the midspan and was discussed in section 5.2.

Page 131: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

119

It was also shown that model refinement had little effect on the

predicted response for length to diameter ratios as low as

8.33/3.0 and for speeds up to l4000rpm. Further investigation

is required to establish limitations on model refinement where

shear effects are predominant. This can be done by retaining

the shear terms in the original derivations of the equations

of motion , and carrying them through the analysis to obtain

their effect on the dynamic stiffness matrix. It is seen in test

case two that the one mass model accurately predicts the first

bending critical speed of the system. Thus the application of the

dynamic stiffness matrix model or the finite element model

creates an unnecessary burden on the investigator. However, if

detailed information about the response of the system is required,

the formulation developed here proves to be ideal. Futhermore,

for more complicated shaft-disk systems, the application of this

procedure poses no greater difficulty as evidenced in test cases

three and four. In the last two test cases presented the developed

procedure's ability to analyse shafts with overhung disks was

investigated.

It was shown in test case three that predicted fundamental

critical speeds for various shaft-disk combinations agreed with

Dunkerley's experimental results C 2l within 2$. This experimental

verification adds validity to the developed procedures capabilities.

Again, futher investigation is required to establish the limitations

where this validity ceses to exist.

The critical speeds were seen to be a function of the length

of the overhanging shaft, and the mass and the gyroscopic

Page 132: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

120

stiffening effects of the disk. When the gyroscopic coupling

effect was ignored the predicted critical speed values were

lower. However, the influence was small, generally less than

1$, and it is concluded that the gyroscopic action has little

effect on critical speed calculations for this model. Independent

calculations (by the author) of the gyroscopic coupling terms,

indicated that these terms were three orders of magnitude less than

the shaft dynamic stiffness terms, substantiating their insignifi

cance.

The most comprehensive test of the developed procedure's

capabilities came from the investigation of the Lund-Orcutt rotor

[151 presented in test case four. Two models were analysed, a one

disk and a three disk model. Good correlation was obtained

between the predicted results and both the experimental and

analytical results presented by Lund and Orcutt. For this

configuration the response curve indicates a sharp peak around

HOOOrpm. An independent calculation (by Lund and Orcutt) of the

critical speeds, using the Prohl technique, gave HOOOrpm as

the third critical. For the three disk configuration the bearing

locations happen to be close to the natural nodal points for

the third mode, thus the bearings play a minor role in the response

of the rotor. Therefore, the good correlation at the third

critical speed verifies the accuracy of the rotor response program

in calculating the characteristics of the rotor itself.

The trend of the results predicted for the one mass model

follow closely the experimental and analytical results of

Page 133: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

121

Lund and Orcutt. The predicted peak amplitude occurs around

l6000rpm which is 18.5$ higher than the experimentally observed

value. The analytical results of Lund and Orcutt indicates a peak

value at HOOOrpm or 18.5$ lower than the experimental value. For

this configuration it was found that the rotor response was sen

sitive to the bearing properties. Based on this observation and

the fact that the three disk model, which was not influenced by

the bearings, was accurately represented, the author believes

that a questionable bearing representation has been used in the

analysis of this model.

The procedure developed has demonstrated its ability to

perform unbalance response calculations. Future work on improving

the procedures capabilities and investigations into the relative

efficiency of computation, as compared to alternate techniques,

are left as recommendations.

7.0 CONCLUSIONS

1. A general rotor element and computational procedure

based on the dynamic stiffness matrix formulation

has successfully been demonstrated.

2. Strict adherence to true right-handed coordinate systems

and established notation conventions provides for a

uniform and logical development.

3. Matrix algebra has been shown to be an efficient tool for

analysis of rotor-bearing dynamic systems.

4. Unbalance response calculations provide a clear indication

of the speeds at which peak vibration amplitudes will occur.

5. For flexible bearings the rotor acts as a rigid body and

assumes the rigid rotor mode shapes at the critical speeds.

6. For rigid bearings the rotor becomes flexible and assumes

the flexible rotor mode shapes at the critical speeds.

7. In general the whirl orbits are elliptical when a more

realistic bearing representation is used. This is due

to the asymmetric stiffness properties of the bearings.

8. The gyroscopic stiffening effects tend to raise the criti

cal speed values. However, the relative importance of these

effects must be investigated for each rotor-bearing system,

since the effect will vary for different configurations.

9. In general the shear effects seem to be negligible.

However, a more in depth investigation is needed before

anything definite can be stated about these effects.

Page 135: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

123

10. Inclusion of the bearing damping in the response calcula

tions predicts a higher critical speed than that calcula

ted with the Mykelstad-Prohl technique, which includes

only the bearing stiffness properties.

11. By performing various unbalance response calculations, with

the unbalance placed at different locations, along the

length of the rotor, the sensiticity of the rotor to un

balance can be evaluated. Thus, response calculations

may be helpful in choosing the best location for balancing

planes.

12. The dynamic stiffness matrix concept has proven to be an

accurate approach to studying the unbalance response of

rotor-bearing systems.

13. The program ROTOR was more efficient, in the use of comput

er storage, than was the program FINITE5. ROTOR required

15. 8K words of main computer core, with a maximum of 7

rotor elements. FINITE5 required 21. 2K words of main

computer core, with a maximum of 6 rotor elements and no

disks were allowed.

14. A more in depth investigation is needed to compare the

relative efficiencies of the different approaches (i.e.

recurrence formula, finite element, and dynamic stiffness

matrix approaches).

Page 136: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

124

8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

1. A revision to the computer program ROTOR eliminating

the matrices [KB] , [kb] , [Kq3 and [kd*] and treating

the bearing and disk properties as true point effects

is recommended.

2. The program should be revised to accept different

values for weight density and Young's Modulus for

each shaft section.

3. Provision for multi-bearing use (i.e. solution for the

statically indeterminant bearing problem) and couplings is

recommended since the analysis of large turbo-generator sets

would require this type of analysis.

4. Futher investigation should be performed on the effects

of shear deformation at higher speeds. A procedure

for incorporating the shear effects into the dynamic

stiffness matrix should be developed.

5. Application of the dynamic stiffness matrix formulation

to stability analysis of rotors should be investigated.

6. Expansion of the program to handle a large number of el

ements and inclusion of bearing pedestal effects is re

commended. This would require investigations into better

equation solving techniques.

10. APPENDIX A< THE DYNAMIC STIFFNESS MATRIX.

Following is the derivation for the dynamic stiffness matrix

as formulated by McCallion and Rieger in reference [24] . From

equation (33) in section 4.2 it is seen that [kxJ =[d][c"J,

which means [C""1] must be found. Throughout the derivation the

following short hand notation will be used,

c-cosAL,

A"1 = ad.j A

where adj A is the adjoint of A, or the matrix of cofactors

transposed and |A|is the determinant of A,

Noting that sin2 -t-

= 1,

the matrix of cofactors is as follows for matrix C;

Equation (A4) can be put back into the form of equation (48) by

first multiplying the bottom two rows of the set by a minus

sign so that the force vector is equal to 1 Fyzj and "then

multiplying the last two columns of [Kxz^) by a minus sign

to put the displacement vector equal to S^yz)* Equation (A4)

11. APPENDIX Bt EQUATIONS FOR THE ELLIPTICAL WHIRL ORBIT

In the computer output the rotor deflection is given by

the dimensions of the elliptical whirl path and the angle of tilt

(o{ ) from the positive x axis to the major axis of the ellipse

(positive with rotational). In order to determine the maximum

and minimum values of the whirl amplitude as shown in figure Bl,

the following analysis is performed as discussed by Lund Q5],

The u and v displacements are given by,

u = R (UR + i Uj)eiAt

v = R (VR+ i Vj)e1^

which are comples due to the bearing and disk representation.

Rejecting the imaginary components (since only the real parts

will apply) gives,

u = Ur cosli-t -

v =Vr cosii-t

13. APPENDIX Dt BEARING DYNAMIC STIFFNESS AND DAMPINC COEFFICIENTS.

The information provided in this appendix is taken from

Lund [30] and Rieger [29] , and is intended to provide backgrour.:

information about the dynamic bearing forces. For a detailed

derivation of the bearing stiffness and damping coefficients,

the reader is referred to either of these references which are

available from the Defense Documentation Center. Futhermore,

the discussion will be limited to Hydrodynamic Fluid-Film

Bearing types.

Hydrodynamic bearings operate by creating a convergent

wedge of fluid between the bearing and journal surfaces, as

shown in figure Dl.

142

The resultant pressure generated by the fluid-film

motion is sufficient to support the bearing load. The fluid-

film stiffness and damping properties are determined by the

bearing geometry and the operating conditions. They are obtained

by solving the Reynold's equation for hydrodynamic lubrication.

The underlying assumptions in the derivation are [29] ;

1. The thickness of the fluid-film (y) is very small

compared with the length (x) and breadth (z).

2. No variation of pressure occures accross the film, Is -o.

3. The flow is laminar. No vortex flow and no turbulance

exists within the film.

4. No external forces act on the fluid film.

5. Fluid inertia is small compared with the viscous shear.

6. No slip occurs at the bearing surface.

7. Velocity gradients in the direction of the film thickness

are negligibla.

Considering an incompressible fluid ( $- const.) and a

motionless bearing (i.e. the wall of the bearing is fixed and not

rotating) ,the Reynold's equation has the form,

14.0 APPENDIX E COMPUTER PROGRAM ROTOR

El. Program Capabilities and Limitations

ROTOR is a general purpose computer program for

the unbalance response analysis of a uniform elastic

rotor supported in fluid-film bearings. The program

is capable of assembling a rotor with any or all of

the following basic components.

1. Beam elements- having distributed mass and elastic

properties and constant E.Aand I throughout the

length.

2. Disks- with concentrated mass MD, polar and

transverse mass moments of inertia Ipand I-.

respectively.

3. Fluid-filmbearings- described by eight speed

dependent dynamic stiffness and damping properties

Kxx Kxy D xx Dxy

* ' *

4. Unbalance forces- represented by the real and

imaginary components of a rotating force vector

at each node.

The maximum number of elements are 7 thus fixing

the maximum number of nodes at 8. At each speed

increment the complex nodal displacements and

rotations are calculated and used in formulating the

major and minor ellipse radii and the ellipse angle

from the positive x axis to the major axis of the ellipse

and the program gives this information as output.

Page 158: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

146

Limitations of the program are i

1. Only two identical bearings may be accurately

represented. For multibearing use, the

statically indeterminate support problem must be

solved first.

2. Short stubby sections heavily loaded in shear

may not be accurately represented.

3. The same weight density and Young's Modulus is

used for each beam section.

4. Static deflection due to gravity is not taken

into cone ideration thus limiting the analysis

to the classical "verticalrotor"

problem.

5. Steady state response is only concidered.

Page 159: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

147

E2. GENERAL PROGRAMING INFORMATION

ROTOR is written in Fortran IV and was developed using

a Xerox Sigma 6 computer. Data input is from a card reader

whose device unit no. is (105) and output is to a line

printer whose device unit no. is (108). All computations

are executed using complex double precision arithmatic.

The main program plus eleven subroutines contained 475

Fortran statements. The program requires 15.8 K words

of main computer core.

The functions of the main program and of the subroutines

are as follows.

1. MAIN program -

array declarations, reads in and writes

out data input for checking, acts as an executive routine

for calling subroutines, assembles the structural stiffness

matrix, generates the force vector and solves for the

major and minor whirl ellipse axis.

2. ELEM - sets up an 8x8 dynamic stiffness matrix for a

single beam element, all terms in the matrix are real

double precision.

3. EDISKL - sets up an 8x8 complex double precision matrix

which reflects the effects of the addition of a disk

to the left end of the element.

4. EDISKR - same as 3 except for a disk added to the right

end of the element.

Page 160: A Unified Matrix Formulation for the Unbalance Response of a Flex

148

5. EBEARL - sets up an 8x8 complex double precision matrix

which reflects the effects of a fluid-film bearing added

to the left end of the element.

6. EBEARR - same as 5 except for a fluid film bearing

added to the right end of the element.

7. ZEROM - initializes a real matrix to zero.

8. ZEROMC - initializes a complex matrix to zero.

*

9. CADDM1 - adds a real matrix to a complex matrix.

10. CADDM2 - adds two complex matrices.

.7-

11. CMULTM - multiplies two complex matrices

12. CINV - inverts a complex double precision matrix

using the Gauss Elimination with partial pivoting.

* Subroutines obtained from Levy program j_32]

** Subroutine obtained from Ruhl program [l6]

E4. example run with input output data

An example computer run demonstrating the input-output

structure of the program is given in Fig. El . This

run is for the two element solution of test case two

given in section 5.2. The model idealization is shown in

Fig. 17 and the plotted results in Fig. It. A complete

listing of input parameters is not given here since

this information is documented in the computer output.

The first section of computer output contains the input

information. This is provided as a chech. Following the

input information the whirl orbit calculations at each

node are presented. The major and minor axis along with

the ellipse angle are given. This information is printed

out for each speed. Since the printout is rather lengthy,

the sample output is shown for only two speed? The output for

the remaining speed increments would look similar to

this output but with different whirl orbit information.

A novice user of this program may completely set up and

check out this sample problem by refering to the above

stated sections and figs, for input information and plotted

results. Pi complete listing of the computer program

ROTOR is given in Fig. E2.
