Rotordynamic Analysis Of Theoretical Models And Experimental Systems, Cameron R. Naugle
Rotordynamic Analysis Of Theoretical Models And Experimental Systems, Cameron R. Naugle
Master's Theses
This thesis is intended to provide fundamental information for the construction and
analysis of rotordynamic theoretical models, and their comparison the experimental
systems. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to construct models using Timoshenko
beam elements with viscous and hysteretic internal damping. Eigenvalues
and eigenvectors of state space equations are used to perform stability analysis, produce
critical speed maps, and visualize mode shapes. Frequency domain analysis
of theoretical models is used to provide Bode diagrams and in experimental data
full spectrum cascade plots. Experimental and theoretical model analyses are used
to optimize the control algorithm for an Active Magnetic Bearing …
