    ABSTRACT

    The Core design effort in engineering section resolves around dynamic analysis of the

    system. The continuous tendency to reduce the weight and cost of the structure and toincrease the power to the weight ratio of machines, engine and vehicles has brought to the

    force. The need to predict the vibration level in many fields of engineering.

    The large amplitude of vibration generated by fast moving dynamic part givesexcessive deformation damage accumulations, fracture loss of stability, fatigue and loss of

    life. The performance and reliability of a dynamical structural systems are governed by its

    possible failures mode during design life .So, its highly desirable to predict the EIGENvalue, Eigen factor a stress level, the response property for effectively design and stabilized

    the mechanical system.

    A structural members used in Jet and Rocket propulsions, high speed aircrafts,

    submarines,messiles,Rotor system and large scale engineering and civil structure undergoesvarious kinds of dynamic loads during its life period. In many systems, structure not only

    experience harmonic excitations, but large amplitude of Random pressure fields also, acts on

    the structure which many times produce non-linearity in the system, which produce

    complex, dynamical phenomena in the system.In this project work, my objective was focused on various dynamical phenomena and

    study of a Rotor & Blade, design of Rotor dynamical system of all rotating machines.Assume significance from the point of Reliability and performance. While

    Conventional design rotors have provided good results in this areas, this need is to be

    optimized further to provide least cost solutions.

    The core design effort in rotor dynamic analysis resolves around dynamic analysis of

    rotor like calculation of Imbalance responses, Eigen value, Eigen vector, model analysis,

    and stress calculations fatigue life estimations, various dynamical phenomena like rubbing,and bifurcations in the rotor systems discs or a Rotor will be not coincide with its Geometric

    Centre. In such situations, a high speed high unbalanced force will be generated which will

    be lead to high vibrations, in the whole rotor system. Resulting into ultimate failure of theRotor systems

    .

    Compared to rotor design, Blade design is very complex. Emerging blade technologyis finding it increasingly essential to correlate blade vibration to blade Fatigue in order to

    access the residual life of existing blade and for development of newer designs. This project

    was converted Model Analysis, for Vibration calculation of Eigen Value, Eigen Factor,

    Stress analysis of turbine blade. Free Vibration analysis is carried out to compute the naturalpreparation and mode cheaper. The resonance condition is predicted using CAMPBELL

    DIAGRAM. Dynamic stess analyses are performed using ANSYS SOFTWARE.

    In many situations due to tool design there may be rubbing appears between rotatingand stationary part will get excessive heat at contact point. Rubbing also damages machine,

    stator, and blade. During rubbing for a moment at contact point high stiffness formed due to

    momentary joint between rotator and stationery due to natural frequency of system andhence the resonance behavior is identified.

    3. THEORY

    3.1 Gas TurbineA gas turbine is an engine where fuel is continuously burnt with compressed air to produce a

    stream of hot, fast moving gas. This gas stream is used to power the compressor that

    supplies the air to the engine as well as providing excess energy that may be used to do other

    work. The engine consists of three main parts viz., compressor, combustor and turbine.

    The compressor usually sits at the front of the engine. There are two main types of

    compressor, the centrifugal compressor and the axial compressor. The compressor will draw

    in air and compress it before it is fed into the combustion chamber. In both types thecompressor rotates and it is driven by a shaft that passes through the middle of the engine

    and is attached to the turbine.

    The combustor is where fuel is added to the compressed air and burnt to produce high

    velocity exhaust gas. Down the middle of the combustor runs the flame tube. The flame tubehas a series of holes in it to allow in the compressed air. It is inside the flame tube that fuel

    is injected and burnt. There will be one or more igniters that project into the flame tube to

    start the mixture burning. Air and fuel are continually being added into the combustor once

    the engine is running. Combustion will continue without the use of the igniters once theengine has been started. The combustor and flame tube must be very carefully designed to

    allow combustion to take place efficiently and reliably. This is especially difficult given the

    large amount of fast moving air being supplied by the compressor. The holes in the flame

    tube must be carefully sized and positioned. Smaller holes around where the fuel is addedprovide the correct mixture to burn. This is called the primary zone. Holes further down the

    flame tube allow in extra air to complete the combustion. This is the secondary zone. A finalset of hole just before the entry to the turbine allow the remainder of the air to mix with the

    hot gases to cool them before they hit the turbine. This final zone is known as the dilution

    zone. The exhaust gas is fed from the end of the flame tube into the turbine.

    The turbine extracts energy from the exhaust gas. The turbine can, like the compressor, becentrifugal or axial. In each type the fast moving exhaust gas is used to spin the turbine.

    Since the turbine is attached to the same

    shaft as the compressor at the front of the

    engine the turbine and compressor willturn together. The turbine may extract just

    enough energy to turn the compressor. The

    rest of the exhaust gas is left to exit therear of the engine to provide thrust as in a

    pure jet engine. Or extra turbine stages

    may be used to turn other shafts to powerother machinery such as the rotors of a

    helicopter, the propellers of a ship or electrical generators in power stations the end of the

    flame tube into the turbine.

    Cold air is drawn in from the left into the compressor (blue). The compressed air (light blue)

    then goes into the combustor. From the outside of the combustor the air goes through holes

    (purple) into the flame tube (yellow). Fuel is injected (green) into the flame tube and ignited.

    The igniters are not show here. The hot exhaust gas flows from the end of the flame tube

    past the turbine (red) rotating it as it passes. From there the exhaust exits the engine. The

    turbine is connected via a shaft (black) to the compressor. Hence as the turbine rotates the

    compressor rotates with it drawing in more air to continue the cycle.

    Fig.3.2: Gas turbine

    Energy is released when airis mixed with fuel and ignited in the combustor. The resulting

    gases are directed over the turbine's blades, spinning the turbine and, cyclically, powering

    the compressor. Finally, the gases are passed through a nozzle, generating additional thrust

    by accelerating the hot exhaust gases by expansion back to atmospheric pressure.

    Energy is extracted in the form of shaft power, compressed air and thrust, in any

    combination, and used to poweraircraft,trains, ships, electrical generators, and even tanks.

    3.1.1 Theory of operation

    Gas turbines are described thermodynamically by the Brayton cycle, in which air iscompressed isentropically, combustion occurs at constant pressure, and expansion over the

    turbine occurs isentropically back to the starting pressure.

    In practice, friction and turbulence cause:

    a) non-isentropic compression for a given overall pressure ratio, the compressor delivery

    temperature is higher than ideal.

    b) non-isentropic expansion although the turbine temperature drop necessary to drive thecompressor is unaffected, the associated pressure ratio is greater, which decreases the

    expansion available to provide useful work.

    c) pressure losses in the air intake, combustor and exhaust reduces the expansion availableto provide useful work.

    Fig. 3.3 Idealized Brayton Cycle

    As with all cyclic heat engines, higher combustion temperature means greaterefficiency.The limiting factor is the ability of the steel, nickel, ceramic, or other materials that make up

    the engine to withstand heat and pressure. Considerable engineering goes into keeping the

    turbine parts cool. Most turbines also try to recover exhaust heat, which otherwise is wastedenergy. Recuperators are heat exchangers that pass exhaust heat to the compressed air, prior

    to combustion. Combined cycle designs pass waste heat to steam turbine systems and

    combined heat and power(co-generation) uses waste heat for hot water production.

    Since neither the compression nor the expansion can be truly isentropic, losses through the

    compressor and the expander represent sources of inescapable working inefficiencies. In

    general, increasing the compression ratio is the most direct way to increase the overallpower output of a Brayton system.

    3.1.2 Rotor

    The compressor portion of the gas turbine rotor is an assembly of wheels, a speed ring, ties

    bolts, the compressor rotor blades, and a forward stub shaft .Each wheel has slots broached

    around its periphery. The rotor blades and spacers are inserted into these slots and held inaxial position by staking at each end of the slot. The wheels are assembled to each other

    with mating rabbets for concentricity control and are held together with tie bolts. Selectivepositioning of the wheels is made during assembly to reduce balance correction.

    After assembly, the rotor is dynamically balanced. The forward stub shaft is machined to

    provide the thrust collar which carries the forward and aft thrust loads. The stub shaft alsoprovides the journal for the No. 1 bearing, the sealing surface for the No. 1 bearing oil seals

    and the compressor low-pressure air seal

    Of the many factors affecting the efficient working of a simple gas turbine, includingunbalanced forces, vibrations are the prominent that lead to development of cyclic stresses

    which inturn results in fatigue failure.

    Machines in the best of operating condition will have some vibration

    small, minor defects. Therefore, each machine will have a level of vibration that may be

    regarded as normal or inherent. However, when machinery vibration increases or becomesexcessive, some mechanical trouble is usually the reason. Vibration does not increase or

    become excessive for no reason at all. Something causes it - unbalance, misalignment, worn

    gears or bearings, looseness, etc.

    3.2 VIBRATION

    Vibration is considered with the oscillating motions of the bodies and the forces associatedwith them. All bodies possessing mass and elasticity are capable of vibration. The mass is

    inherent of the body and the elasticity is due to relative motion of the parts of the body. The

    objective of the designer is to control the vibration when it is objectionable. Objectionablevibrations in a machine may cause the loosening of the parts, its malfunctioning or its

    eventual failure. The ultimate goal in the study of the vibration is to determine its effect on

    the performance and safety of the system under consideration. The performance of manyinstruments depends on the proper control of the vibrational characteristics of the devices.

    FIG.3.4 Elements of Vibrating System

    14

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    15/60

    The elements that constitute a vibratory system are shown in figure. They are idealized and

    called mass, spring, damper and the excitation force. The first three elements describe the

    physical system.

    Energy may be stored in the mass and spring, and dissipated in the damper in the form of

    heat. Energy enters the system through theapplication of an excitation. The mass may gain

    or lose kinetic energy in accordance with the velocity change of the body. The spring

    possesses elasticity and is capable of storing the potential energy under deformation. The

    damper has neither mass nor elasticity and is capable of dissipating the energy. Viscous

    damping in which the damping force is proportional to the velocity is generally assumed in

    engineering. There are two general classes of vibrations viz., free vibrations and Forced

    vibrations.

    Free vibrations takes place when a system oscillates under the action of forces inherent in

    the system itself, and when external impressed forces are absent. The system under free

    vibration will vibrate at one or more of its natural frequencies, which are properties of the

    dynamic system established by its mass and stiffness distribution.

    Vibration that takes place under the excitation of the external forces is called forced

    vibration. When the excitation is oscillatory, the system is forced to vibrate at the excitation

    frequency. If the frequency of excitation coincides with one of the natural frequencies of the

    system, a condition of resonance is encountered, and dangerously large oscillations may

    result. The failure of the major structures such as bridges, buildings or airplane wings is an

    awesome possibility under resonance. Thus, the calculation of the natural frequencies is of

    major importance in the study of the vibration.

    Vibrating systems are all subject to damping to some degree because friction and other

    resistances dissipate energy. If the damping is small, it has very little influence on the

    natural frequencies of the system, and hence the calculations for the natural frequencies are

    generally made on the basis of no damping. On the other hand, damping is of great

    importance in limiting the amplitude of oscillation at resonance.

    3.2.1 SINGLE DEGREE FREEDOM (SDOF) SYSTEMS

    The number of independent coordinates required to describe the motion of a

    system is called degrees of freedom of the system. The system shown in figure has one

    15

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    16/60

    degree of freedom and hence called SDOF system. The SDOF system is the keystone for

    more advanced studies in vibrations of multi-degree (MDOF) systems or

    structures. The idealized elements in fig-1 form a model of a vibrating system, which in

    reality can be quite complex. The spring shown in fig-1 may possess mass and elasticity. In

    order to consider it as an idealized spring, either its mass is assumed negligible or an

    appropriate portion of its mass is lumped together with the other masses of a system. For

    example, a beam has its mass and elasticity inseparably distributed along its length. The

    vibrational characteristics of a beam or more generally of an elastic body or a continuous

    system are approximated by a finite number of lumped parameters. This method is a

    practical approach to the study of some very complicated structures, such as an aircraft or

    missile.

    3.2.2 EQUATION OF MOTION FOR SDOF

    The equation of motion for the SDOF system shown in fig-1 can be formulated using

    either energy method or Newtons laws of motion. The equation of motion for the system is

    given by-

    )(...

    tFkxxcxm =++

    The equation of motion for undamped free vibrations is-

    0

    0

    2..

    ..

    =+

    =+

    xx

    kxxm

    n

    Where,

    m

    kn =2

    , is called circular frequency.

    The solution of the equation is-

    tAtAx nn sincos 21 +=

    Where 1A and 2A are arbitrary constants to be evaluated by initial conditions )0(x and

    )0(.

    x .

    Since the components of the solution are harmonic of the same frequency, their sum is also

    harmonic and can be written as-

    16

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    17/60

    )sin( += tAx n

    Where 22

    2

    1 AAA += is the amplitude of the motion

    And )(tan2

    11

    AA= is the phase angle.

    The equation indicates that once the system is set into motion it will vibrate with simple

    harmonic motion and the amplitude A of the motion will not diminish with time. The system

    oscillates because it possesses two types of the energy storage elements, namely, the mass

    and the spring. The rate of energy interchange between these elements is the natural

    frequency nfof the system which is given by

    m

    kf nn

    2

    1

    2==

    The above equation shows that the natural frequency is a property of the system. It is a

    function of the values of m and k and is independent of the amplitude of oscillation or the

    manner by which the system is set into motion. It can be observed that the amplitude A and

    the phase angle are dependent on the initial conditions.

    Since the natural frequency of any body subjected to vibration is directly proportional to the

    stiffness of the body k, and inversely proportional to the mass possessed by the body, m,

    the effect of increasing the stiffness of this body by some means will increase both the

    natural frequency and the mass of the body.

    With the damping, the equation of the motion is modified as follows-

    )sin( += tAex nt

    Where is the damping factor and the 21 = nd

    The above equation shows that the amplitude decreases exponentially with time.

    3.2.3 MULTI-DEGREE FREEDOM (MDOF) SYSTEM:

    As n degree of freedom system is described a set of n simultaneous equations

    ordinary differential equations of second order. The system has as many natural frequencies

    as the degrees of freedom. A mode of vibration is associated with each natural frequency.

    Since the equations of motions are coupled, the motions of the masses are the combination

    17

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    of the motions of the individual modes. If the equations are uncoupled by the proper choice

    of the coordinates, each mode can be examined as an independent one degree of freedom.

    The basic steps in solving the equation of motion of MDOF systems are given below.

    1. Finding the characteristic equation from the equation of motion

    2. Solving the characteristic equation for the natural frequencies

    3. Obtaining the modal matrix in order to uncouple the equations of motion

    4. Solving the corresponding one-degree of freedom system.

    For the free vibration of the un-damped system, the equations of motions are expressed in

    matrix form as-

    [ ] [ ]{ } { }0..

    =+

    xKxM

    Where, [ ]M= Mass matrix

    [ ]K= Stiffness matrix

    { }x = Displacement matrix

    By multiplying the above equation by [ ] 1M and denoting [ ] [ ] [ ]= MM1 (unit matrix),

    [ ] [ ] [ ]AKM =1 (A system matrix), we obtain-

    [ ] [ ][ ] 0..

    =+

    xAx

    The matrix [ ]A is referred as the system matrix, or the dynamic matrix, since this matrixdefines the dynamic properties of the system.

    Assuming harmonic motion [ ]xx =

    .., where 2= , the above equation becomes-

    [ ] [ ]{ }{ } 0= xA

    The characteristic equation of a system are called Eigen values, and the natural frequencies

    of the system are determined from them by the relationship,2

    ii =

    By substituting iinto the matrix equation, we can obtain the corresponding mode shape

    iX which is called eigenvector. Thus for an n degree of freedom system, there will be n

    Eigen values and n eigenvectors.

    Damping in moderate amounts has little influence on the natural frequency and may be

    neglected in its calculation. The system has then been considered to be conservative & the

    principle of conversation of energy offers another approach to the calculation of natural

    frequency. The effect of damping is mainly evident in the diminishing of the vibration

    amplitude with time.

    3.2.4 Vibration Model

    The basic vibration model of a simple oscillatory system consists of a mass, a mass less

    spring & a damper. The mass is considered to be lumped & measured in SI system as

    kilograms

    g

    Wm = lb s 2 / m

    The spring supporting the mass is assumed to be a negligible mass. Its free deflection

    relationship is considered to be linear, following Hooks law

    kxF=

    Where, k = stiffness in N/m or lb/in

    The viscous damping generally represented by a dashpot is described by a force proportional

    to the velocity or

    .

    xCF=

    The damping coefficient C is measured in Newton/ m/s or pound/inch/ second

    3.2.5 EQUATIONS OF MOTION:

    A simple un-damped spring mass system which is assumed to move only along the vertical

    direction has one degree of freedom (DOF) because its motion is described by a single

    coordinate x .When placed into motion, oscillation will take place at the natural frequency

    nf, which is property of the system.

    Newtons second law is the first basis for examining the motion of the system. As shown in

    figure the deformation of the spring in the static equilibrium position is and the spring

    fore x is equal to the gravitational force W acting on mass m

    19

    mgWk == -------------- (3.2.5.1)

    By measuring the displacement x from the static equilibrium position, the forces acting on m

    are ( ))(( xk + andW. With x chosen to be positive in the down ward direction, all

    quantities force, velocity & acceleration are also positive in the downward direction.

    We now apply Newtons second law of motion to the mass m,

    +== )(..

    xkWFxm

    And because k =w, we obtain

    kxxm =..

    ------ (3.2.5.2)

    It is evident that the choice of the static equilibrium position as reference for x has

    eliminated w, the force due to gravity, and the static spring force k fro the equation of

    motion, and the resistant force on m is simply the spring force due to the displacement x.

    Although our discussion was in terms of the spring mass system of figure (1) the results are

    applicable to all single DOF system, including rotation. The spring can be a beam or

    torsional member and the mass can be replaced by a mass moment of inertia.

    3.3 INTRODUCTION TO FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

    The finite element method is a numerical analysis technique for obtaining approximatesolutions to a wide variety of engineering problems. Because of its diversity and flexibility

    as an analysis tool, it is receiving much attention in engineering schools and in industries. In

    more and more engineering situations today, we find that it is necessary to obtain

    approximate numerical solutions to problems rather than exact closed form solution.

    It is not possible to obtain analytical mathematical solutions for many engineering problems.An analytical solution is a mathematical expression that gives the values of the desired

    unknown quantity at any location in a body, and as a consequence it valid for an infinite

    number of locations in the body. For problems involving complex material properties and

    boundary conditions, the engineer resorts to numerical methods that provide approximate,but acceptable, solutions.

    The finite element method has become a powerful tool for the numerical solution of a wide

    range of engineering problems. It has developed simultaneously with the increasing use ofhigh-speed electronic digital computers and with the growing emphasis on numericalmethods for engineering analysis. This method started as a generalization of the structural

    idea to some problems of elastic continuum, is well-established numeric

    applicable to any continuum problem, stated in terms of differential equations or as anextrinnum problem.

    24

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    25/60

    The fundamental areas that have to be learned for working capability of finite element

    method includes:

    1. Matrix algebra.2. Solid mechanics.

    3. Variational methods.

    4. Computer skills.

    Matrix techniques are definitely the most efficient and systematic way to handle algebra of

    finite element method. Basically, matrix algebra provides a scheme by which a large numberof equations can be stored and manipulated. Since vast majority of the literature on the finite

    element method treats problems in structural and continuum mechanics, including soil and

    rock mechanics, the knowledge of these fields became necessary.

    It is useful to consider the finite element procedure basically as variational approach. This

    conception has contributed significantly to the convenience in formulating the method and

    to its generality.

    3.3.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD

    In brief the basis of the finite element method is the representation of a body as a structure

    by an assemblage of sub-divisions called finite elements. The elements are consideredinterconnected at joints, which are called nodes or nodal points. Simple functions are chosen

    to approximate the distribution or variation as the actual displacement functions or

    displacement models. The unknown functions are the displacements at nodal points.

    26

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    27/60

    Hence final solution will yield the approximate displacements at discrete locations in the

    body, the nodal points. A displacement model can be expressed in various simple forms,

    such as polynomials and trigonometric functions. Since polynomials offer mathematical manipulation, they have been employed commonly in finite

    applications.

    A variational principle of mechanics, such as the principle of minimum potential energy, is

    usually employed to obtain the set of equilibrium equations for each element. The potential

    energy of a loaded elastic body or structure is represented by a sum of internal energy storedas a result of deformations and the potential energy of the external loads.

    The equilibrium equations for the entire body are then obtained by combining equations for

    the individual elements in such away that the continuity of displacements is preserved at

    interconnecting nodes.

    The theory of the finite element method may be divided into two phases:

    1. The first phase consists of the study of the individual element.

    2. The second phase is the study of the assemblage of elements representing the entire body.

    3.3.4 Interpolation Polynomials

    The basic idea of the finite element method is piecewise approximation, that is the solution

    is obtained by dividing the region of interest into small regions (finite elements) andapproximating the solution over each sub region by a simple function. Thus a necessary and

    important step is that of choosing simple functions for the behavior of the solution with in an

    element are called interpolation function or approximating functions or interpolation models.Polynomial type of interpolation function have been most widely used due to the following

    reasons:

    1. It is easier too formulate and computerize the finite element equations with polynomial

    type of interpolation functions. Specifically, it is easier to perform differentiation or

    integration with polynomials.2. It is possible to improve the accuracy of the results by increasing the order of the

    polynomial, as shown in figure.

    Theoretically a polynomial of infinite order corresponds to the exact solution. But inpractice we take polynomials of finite order only as approximation. Infigure

    Approximation polynomials of the general forms.

    F (x) = a1 + a2x + a3 (x)2 + +an (x)

    (n-1) +1(x) n

    The greater the number of terms included in the approximation the more closely the exact

    solution is represented. In equation numberThe coefficient of polynomial as are known as generalized co-ordinates and n is a degree

    of polynomial.

    The above equation is for one-dimensional model

    for two and three-dimensional finite element the polynomial forms is given below.

    27

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    28/60

    Two-dimensional:

    F(x,y) = a1+a2x+a3y + a4x2 + a5y

    2 + a6xy + . + an+1xn

    From the above three equations, for each order of polynomial we can have three equationsfor each one. In most of the practical application the order of the polynomial in the

    interpolation function is taken as one, two, or three.

    3.3.5 SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS PROCEDURE

    The solution of a general continuum by the finite element method always follows an orderly

    step by step procedure. The step by step procedure for static structural problem can be stated

    as follows:

    1. Discretizations of structure (Domain).

    The first step in the finite element method is to divide the structure or solution region into

    sub-divisions or elements.

    2. Selection of a proper interpolation model.

    Since the displacement (field variable) solution of a complex structure under any specified

    load conditions cannot be predicted exactly. We assume some suitable solution with in anelement to approximate the unknown solution. The assumed solution must be simple from

    computation point of view, and it should satisfy certain convergence requirements.

    3. Derivation of element stiffness matrices (characteristic matrices) and load vectors.

    From assumed displacement model the stiffness matrix [K (e)] and the load vector P (e) ofelement e are to be derived either by using equilibrium conditions or a suitable variation

    principle.

    4. Assemblage of element equations to obtain the overall equilibrium equations.

    Since the structure is composed of several finite element stiffness matrices and load vectors,

    they are to be assembled in suitable manner and the overall equilibrium equation have to beformulated as

    [K]= P

    28

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    29/60

    Where, [K] is called assembled stiffness matrix,

    is called the vector of nodal displacement and

    P is the vector of nodal forces for the complete structure.

    4. IMBALANCE RESPONSE OF ROTOR

    29

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    30/60

    Rotor dynamics is the study of rotating machines and has a very important part to play

    throughout the modern industrial world. Rotating machinery is used in many applications

    such as:

    - Turbo-machines.

    - Power stations.

    - Machine tools.

    - Automobiles.

    - Household machines.

    - Aerospace applications.

    - Marine propulsion.

    - Medical equipment.

    The interactions these machines have in their surroundings is of great importance as if these

    machines are not operating at the correct speed ranges, vibration can occur which may

    ultimately cause failure. Failure of machines in applications such as aero-engines, turbo-

    machines, space vehicles, etc creates enormous repair costs and more importantly may put

    human life in danger. This means governments and industries put a great deal of resources

    into the study of rotor dynamics to calculate the safe operating ranges before the machine

    goes into service and also methods of detecting imminent failure.

    Rotor dynamics is a collective term for rotating machines and can be split into the sub-

    groups that make it up. These are rotating shafts, bearings, seals, out of balance systems,

    instability and condition monitoring.

    The material presented in this chapter was selected to introduce and explain the nature of

    rotor dynamic phenomena from comparatively simple analytic models as

    expected. The phenomena demonstrated by flexible rotors and the techniques employed fortheir analysis is basically similar to other areas of vibration and structural dynamics.

    Specifically, one is generally concerned with linear response phenomena (natural frequency

    and frequency response calculation) linear instabilities, parametric instabilities and forced

    steady state and transient non linear response.

    Considering these topics separately, the following sections consider. The

    characteristics of flexible rotors due to imbalance and product of inertia disturbances,gravity loading rotor distribution of how rotor forward and backward critical speed are

    defined and these relation ships to rotor natural frequencies are examined. The phenomenon

    of rotor sub synchronous whirl (linear instability) is introduced using internal rotor dampingas a representative destabilizing mechanism.

    30

  • 8/7/2019 rk material

    31/60

    The potential for improving stability by adding damping at bearing or by introducing

    orthotropic stiffness characteristics at bearing supports is examined. Rotor shaft- stiffnessorthotropic is used as an example of mechanism which has. The potential for parametric

    excitation of motor instabilities non symmetric clearance effects at bearing or rubbing due to

    a rammed or off centered seal are also shown to have the potential for rotor parametricexcitation. Further these mechanisms are also shown to supports fractional frequency sub

    harmonic rotor resonance additional non linear mechanisms examined here are

    a) symmetric synchronic now response of rotors in bearing clearances,

    b) Inter action of a rotor and stator across a clearance

    c) A transient solution of a critical speed transition

    A thorough under standing of material presented in this chapter in necessary (and generally

    sufficient) to understand the desired design behavior of rotating machinery and to recognize

    the distinctive characteristics of undesirable dynamic behavior

    cause alternating stress in the shaft.

    4.2 GYROSCOPIC EFFECTS

    Machines where rotor is mounted so that any shaft deflection changes the

    shaft slope (rotor is not mounted in the center of a symmetrical shaft or is overhung). When

    shaft starts rotating it has a conical path until speed reaches the limit at which the centripetal

    forces straighten the shaft, figure 4.2.1

    an instance of time t, the rotor exhibits an angular velocity, about the OY axis. The

    angular momentum vectors are shown in figure 4.2.1(b), for a moment of time and at a

    period time a small interval later. This shows the change in angular velocity is , where

    is the polar moment of inertia of the rotor.

    In figure 2.5(a) the gyroscopic couple applied by the rotor that reacts with the support

    structure, g , must act about the axis xO when viewed from O. the net moment about

    this axis is:-

    If however the system is isentropic (rotor support characteristics are the same in both

    Where the motion of one lags half a phase behind the other one in a perpendicular direction.

    by modifying the right hand side of the equation to allow the gyroscopic couple terms.

    4.6 ROTATING RIM or RING

    The pulleys, flywheels, rotating wheels etc are quite commonly used in the engineering

    field. For designing the same it is necessary to find out the stresses developed therein on

    account of rotation. In the analysis given the effect of spokes is negative.

    Consider a wheel rim of mean radius r, thickness t and of unit width, rotation about its centre

    with a uniform angular velocity . Let c be the circumferential i.e., the hoop stress

    produced in the rim on account of this rotation. Consider an element of the wheel rim

    making an angle at the centre. The forces acting on this element are shown in figure.

    4.6.1 THIN ROTATING DISC

    It is well known that components rotating at high speed such as stream or gas turbine rotors,

    grinding wheels, circular saw, etc are subjected to stresses. As such the highest speed at

    which such component may be allowed to rotate would be limited by the safe allowable

    stress for its material. The problem of the rotational stresses in discs, therefore, becomes

    quite important. In such a case the deformations produced are symmetrical about the rotation

    axis. For simplicity, we assume that the disc under consideration is a thin disc in which case

    it becomes a plane stress problem which means the radial and the circumferential stresses

    are constant through the disc thickness and stress in the axial direction is zero.

    Fig:4.6.1

    Let the thin disc of density and unit thickness be rotating about its centre with angular

    velocity (fig. 4.6.2). Then,
