Example 3 - Isotropic Bearings, asymmetrical rotor.#

In this example, we use the rotor seen in Example 5.9.1 from [Friswell, 2010]. A 1.5-m-long shaft, with a diameter of \(0.05 m\). The disks are keyed to the shaft at \(0.5\) and \(1 m\) from one end. The left disk is \(0.07 m\) thick with a diameter of \(0.28 m\); the right disk is \(0.07 m\) thick with a diameter of \(0.35 m\). For the shaft, \(E = 211 GN/m^2\) and \(G = 81.2 GN/m^2\). There is no internal shaft damping. For both the shaft and the disks, \(\rho = 7,810 kg/m^3\). The shaft is supported by identical bearings at its ends.

These bearings are isotropic and have a stiffness of \(1 MN/m\) in both the x and y directions. The bearings contribute no additional stiffness to the rotational degrees of freedom and there is no damping or cross-coupling in the bearings.
