abstract

• A method for determining the complete modal model of rotors affected by gyroscopic moments is proposed. Unlike the case of conventional dynamic systems, the models of these rotors consist of three sets of parameters: the eigenvalues, or complex natural frequencies; the right eigenvalues, or modal forms; and the left eigenvectors. The proposed method has an advantage over existing methods in that it is based on the response analysis of the unbalanced rotor, and therefore does not require the use of special excitation devices nor mounting or dismounting the rotor in order to carry out the tests. It has been proven that although this method does not permit a complete description of the rotor dynamic at each rotational speed to be obtained, its modal parameters can be calculated via the synchronous component (1X) of the response related to the unbalance. The application of the proposed method is shown with an illustrative example based on the finite elements model of a rotor. © JVE INTERNATIONAL LTD.
