Example 18 - Features of Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors - Anisotropic Bearings#

This example is based on Example 5.9.2 from [Friswell, 2010].

Anisotropic Bearings. This system is the same as that of Example 5.9.1 except that the isotropic bearings are replaced by anisotropic bearings. Both bearings have a stiffness of 1 MN/m in the x direction and 0.8 MN/m in the y direction. Calculate the eigenvalues and mode shapes at 0 and 4,000 rev/min and plot the natural frequency map for rotational speeds up to 4,500 rev/min.​
