# Example 16 - Look at different models of the disk-shaft interface¶

In this example, we use the rotor seen in Example 5.8.3 from and we make the same comparison looking at 4 different ways of modelling the shaft-disk interface:

Consider a hollow shaft carrying a central disk and mounted on
short, rigid bearings at each end. The shaft is 1.2 m long and it has an outside
diameter of 80 mm and an inside diameter of 30 mm. The central disk has a diameter
of 400 mm and a thickness of 80 mm. The shaft and disk have a modulus
of elasticity of 200GN/m2 and a density of 7,800kg/m3. Poisson’s ratio is 0.27.
This is the same as the rotor used in Example 5.8.1. The rotor, consisting of
the shaft and central disk, spins at 3,000 rev/min. Investigate the effect of the
shaft-disk interface models on the natural frequencies of the machine.
