Abstract

Work presents detailed derivations of various three-dimensional rotordynamic formulations. The equation of motion is derived by two approaches; using Lagrange's equation and using Galerkin's method. It is shown that these approaches give the same equation of motion. Thorough treatment of the relevant kinematics is presented. Nonlinear strain and stress measures are adopted to create formulation, which is valid for large displacements and material rotations, but for small strain levels. Therefore, the resulting equation of motion is nonlinear. This nonlinear equation of motion is linearized yielding a model, which is valid for large equilibrium displacements and small deviations around the equilibrium. In addition, a linearized model, which assumes constant equilibrium displacements, is presented. After the form of the energy expressions and equation of motion are obtained in a generic case, the work presents the implementation details associated with solid element model, cyclic symmetric model and axisymmetric model and how different types of submodels can be combined. In addition, publication presents modal reduction utilizing the symmetry properties present in the axisymmetric model, cyclic model and combined model consisting of axisymmetric and cyclic sub-models. Work contains four simple example cases, which present comparisons to literature and explorethe model validity ranges of different approaches.
