Analysis

Once the rotor-bearing model (.rot file) is built, you now can proceed to the Analysis menu. DyRoBeS©_Rotor is capable of performing free and forced vibration analyses for Lateral Vibration, Torsional Vibration, and Axial Vibration.

The lateral vibration of the discretized system is described by two translational (x, y) and two rotational coordinates at each finite element station. Note that Z-axis is the spinning axis. For torsional vibration, the motion of each finite element station is described by a rotational displacement about the spinning axis. For axial vibration, the motion of each finite element station is described by a translational displacement (z) along the spinning axis.

The analyses for Lateral Vibration Analysis include:

Static Deflection and Bearing/Constraint Reactions

Critical Speed Analysis

Critical Speed Map Analysis

Whirl Speed and Stability Analysis

Steady State Synchronous Response Analysis – Linear System

Steady State Synchronous Response Analysis – NonLinear System

Time Transient Analysis (Time Domain)

Steady State Harmonic Excitation Response Analysis

Steady Maneuver Load Analysis

Time Transient Analysis (Frequency Domain)

Catenary (Gravity Sag) Analysis

The analyses for Torsional Vibration Analysis are:

Damped and Undamped Natural Frequencies and Modes Calculation

Steady State Forced Response Analysis

Transient Analysis (Time Dependent Excitations)

Startup Transient Analysis (Speed Dependent Excitations)

The analyses for Axial Vibration Analysis are:

Damped and Undamped Natural Frequencies and Modes Calculation

Steady State Forced Response Analysis

The analyses for the Coupled Lateral-Torsional-Axial Analysis are:

Whirl Speed and Stability Analysis

Steady State Synchronous Response Analysis

Time Transient Analysis (Time Domain)

Once the analysis is performed, you may go to the corresponding PostProcessor menu to view analysis results.

For more theoretical development, users are encouraged to read rotordynamics books. This help file is only used to guide the software use, not to cover the rotordynamics theory.

Analysis Options and Run Time Data

Under the Analysis menu, there are four options: Lateral Vibration, Torsional Vibration, Axial Vibration, and coupled lateral-torsional-axial vibration, as shown below:

You will need to select the analysis type and enter the run time data to meet your analysis requirement. You may input the run time data only for that selected analysis or you can input all the data for future use. Details on these four different analysis inputs (Run Time Data) are described below.
