Vibration Of A Rotating Cantilever Beam With An Independently Rotating Disk On The Free End, Darrell Blaine Crimmins
Vibration Of A Rotating Cantilever Beam With An Independently Rotating Disk On The Free End, Darrell Blaine Crimmins
Masters Theses
"This thesis provides a vibration analysis of a rotating cantilever beam with an independently rotating thin circular disk on the free end. The exact differential equations of the system as defined by classical Bernoulli-Euler beam theory are written using the methods of the calculus of variations. The exact equations are not solved, but two different approximations are found by assuming a cubic polynomial deflection curve and applying the equation of Lagrange. The solutions are restricted to small deflections of the beam and a shaft stiffness which permits a deflection in only a single plane. Nonlinear differential equations result in the …
