436-406 Rotor Dynamics

Credit Points:

7.1

Coordinator:

Dr J.M. Krodkiewski

Prerequisite/s:

436-306 Dynamics of Machines, 436-402 Mechanics and Dynamics of Solids

Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

39 hours comprising 18 hours of lectures and 21 hours of tutorials and laboratory sessions

Objectives:

On completion students should:

  • be able to formulate mathematical models of rotary machine sub-systems (shafts, bearings, rigid and elastic elements, foundations).

  • be able to create a mathematical model of a complex rotor - bearing - foundation system including the dynamic properties of its sub-systems, unbalanced forces, environmental excitation and accuracy of manufacturing.

  • be able to carry out analysis of the formulated mathematical models to assess equilibrium positions, critical speeds and stability of motion of the rotor system.

Content:

Modelling of shafts, rigid and elastic elements, oil bearing and foundations. Composition of mathematical model of rotor systems. Condensation techniques. Analysis: equilibrium position, response to the external excitation, free vibration, stability of equilibrium position. Influence of internal and external damping. Influence of the gyroscopic effect. Rotors with non-circular cross-sections.

Assessment:

A two-hour examination. Tutorial tests and assignments not exceeding 20 pages.
