Example 23 - An Overhung Rotor#
This example is based on Example 5.9.9 from [Friswell, 2010].
An Overhung Rotor. Consider the overhung rotor shown in Figure 5.44. The shaft is 1.5m-long and the diameter is 50 mm with a disk of diameter 350mm and thickness 70 mm. The two bearings, with positions given in Figure 5.44, have a stiffness of 10 MN/m in each direction. The shaft and disk are made of steel, with material properties E = 211 GN/m², G = 81.2 GN/m² and ρ = 7,810 kg/m3. Damping is neglected. Estimate the first six natural frequencies and mode shapes between 0 and 4,000 rev/min.
