Abstract

The rotor is represented by a lumped parameter system. The equations of motion are derived and they can be solved either in matrix form or by a transfer matrix procedure (the Riccati method). A formulation in terms of a truncated modal expansion is developed, and the coupling to the foundation through the bearings is implemented. The method is applicable to critical speed calculations, response calculations, and stability investigations.
