Treffer: Analysis of dynamic behavior of multi-cracked cantilever rotor in viscous medium.

The present investigation is an attempt to evaluate the dynamic behaviours of multi-cracked cantilever rotor shaft with an additional mass attached at the tip of the shaft, which is partially submerged in the viscous fluid. In this work, theoretical expressions are developed to find the fundamental natural frequency and amplitude of the multi-cracked rotor shaft with attached mass, using influence coefficient method. Navier–Stoke’s equations are used for the analysis of external fluid forces acting on the rotor. Viscosities of the fluid and relative crack locations are taken as main variable parameters. For the analysis, suitable theoretical expressions are considered, and the Matlab programming is made to obtain the results. Experimental verifications are also performed to prove the validity of the theory developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
