SINGLE MASS ROTOR MODELS
For understanding basic phenomena of any dynamic
system requires adequate modeling of the system.
The rotor is considered as single mass in the form of a
point mass, a rigid disc or a long rigid shaft.
In this section we present simple rotor models and
analyze them to illustrate their behavior.
Single DOF Rotor Model
Rankine Rotor Model
Jeffcott Rotor Model
Rigid Rotor Supported on Flexible Bearings
Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
The simplest model of the rotor system
can be single DOF.
Two types of rotor model are shown here
In Figure 1.1(a) the bearing (support) is
assumed to be rigid (simply supported)
and the shaft as flexible.
The mass of the rotor is considered as
that of rigid disc that is mounted on the
massless flexible shaft.
In Figure 1.1(b) the bearing is
assumed to be flexible and the rotor as
rigid.
Both the cases can be idealized as a
single DOF as shown in Figure 1.1(c).

If the rotor is perfectly balanced then theoretically
speaking there will not be any imbalance force as
shown in Figure 1.2(a). In actual practice it is
impossible to have a perfectly balanced rotor.
The rotor imbalance gives a sinusoidal force at the
rotor rotational frequency. Thus, the imbalance
force is modeled as sinusoidal force
where m is the mass of the rotor, is the spin
speed of the rotor and e is the eccentricity of the
rotor
When the rotor is not eccentric, however, a small
imbalance mass, is attached at a relatively
larger radius of (see Figure 1.2(c)), the
imbalance force can be written as
For the case when the rotor is eccentric and a
small imbalance mass is attached as shown in
Figure 1.2(d), the imbalance force will be

For a constant angular velocity of the rotor, , the location of the unbalance

Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
On application of the Newtons law on the free
body of the rotor mass as shown in Figure 1.1(d),
i.e. equating sum of external forces to the mass of
the rotor multiplied by the acceleration of the
center of gravity of the rotor mass, we have
where is the effective stiffness of the rotor
system
Equation (4) is a standard equation of motion of a
single DOF spring-mass system and can be
written as
For the free vibration, when the external
imbalance force is absent, the rotor mass will be
having oscillation and that will be given by
where is the frequency of oscillation during
the free vibration and that is called the natural
frequency of the system. On substituting equation
(6) into the homogeneous part of equation of
motion (5), it gives

For the non-trivial solution of equation (7), the natural frequency of the system can
be written as
The steady state forced response can be modeled as
where Y is the amplitude of displacement and is the phase lag of the
displacement with respect to the imbalance force.
On substituting equation (9) into equation (5), the steady state forced response
amplitude can be written as
with
From equation (10) it should be noted that when the spin speed is equal to the
natural frequency of the system as given in equation (8), the undamped steady
state forced response amplitude tends to infinity. This is a resonance condition and
the spin speed corresponding to the resonance is defined as critical speed. Since
damping is not considered in the analysis phase angle, , becomes zero.

The analysis presented in this section can be applied to the
transverse, torsional and axial vibrations of rotors and accordingly
critical speed can be termed by prefixing respective names of
vibrations.
For torsional vibrations care should be taken that mass will be
replaced by the polar mass moment of inertia of rotor and stiffness will
be the torsional stiffness.
Similarly, for axial vibrations mass will remain same as transverse
vibration, however, the stiffness will be the axial stiffness.

The unbalance response can be reduced by the following methods.
Correction at source i.e. balancing the rotor:
Balancing the rotor is the most direct approach, since it attacks the
problem at source.
However, in practice a rotor cannot be balanced perfectly and that
the best achievable state of balance tends to degrade during
operation of a rotor (e.g. turbomachinery).
There are two type of unbalances
Static unbalance: : The principal axis of the polar mass moment of
inertia of the rotor is parallel to the centerline of the shaft as shown in
Figure 1.5b. The rotor can be balanced by a single plane balancing
Dynamic unbalance: The principal axis of the polar mass moment of
inertia of the rotor is inclined to the centerline of the shaft as shown in
Figure 1.5c & d. For balancing such rotors minimum of two planes are
required.

Operate rotor away from the critical speed:
(i.e. during design itself or during operation by providing
temporary auxiliary support)
Moving the machine operating speed farther away from the critical
speed can be achieved by changing the rotor operational speed or
by changing the critical speed itself.
The critical speed can be changed either at the design stage or
during operation.
At design stage changing rotor mass or its distributions and
dimensions of the rotor and its support lengths can alter the critical
speed.
During operation auxiliary support can be provided to increase the
effective stiffness of the rotor, which in turn increases the critical
speed
By this arrangement the actual rotor critical speed can be safely
traversed and then the auxiliary support can be withdrawn which
brings the critical speed of the rotor below the operation speed.
Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
Add damping to the system or active control of the rotor:
If a critical speed must be traversed slowly or repeatedly, or
if machine operation near a critical speed can not be
avoided, then the most effective way to reduce the
amplitude of the synchronous whirl is to add damping.
The squeeze film and magnetic bearings are often used to
control the dynamics of such systems.
o Squeeze-film bearings (SFB) are, in effect, fluid-film bearings in
which both the journal and bearing are non-rotating.
o In recent years, advanced development of electromagnetic bearing
technology has enabled the active control of rotor bearing systems
through active magnetic bearings (AMB).
With the development of smart fluids (for example electro
and magneto-rheological fluids) now new controllable
bearings are in the primitive development stage.
Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
Schematics of typical passive and active (i.e. smart or controllable) squeeze
film dampers and active magnetic bearings are shown in Figure 1.6.

The single DOF rotor model has
limitations that it cannot represent the
orbital motion of the rotor in two
transverse directions.
Rankine (1869) used a two DOF model
to describe the motion of the rotor in
two transverse directions as shown in
Figure 1.7(a).
The shape of orbit produced depends
upon the relative amplitude and phase
of the motions in two transverse
directions and the orbit could be of
circular, elliptical or straight line,
inclined to x and y axis, as shown in
Figure 1.8.

Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
However, as shown in Figure 1.7(b) the free
body diagram the radius of whirling of the
rotor center will increase parabolically with
spin speeds and will be given as
where is the centrifugal force
It can be physically also visualized as there
will not be any resonance condition, as found
in the single DOF model, when the spin
speed is increased gradually. This is a
serious limitation of the Rankine model.
Moreover, this model does not represent the
realistic rotating imbalance force.

1.3 JEFFCOTT ROTOR MODEL
Figure 1.9 shows a typical Jeffcott rotor.
It consists of a simply supported flexible
massless shaft with a rigid disc mounted
at the mid-span.
The disc center of rotation, C, and its
center of gravity, G, is offset by a
distance, e.
The shaft spin speed is and the shaft
whirls about the bearing axis with whirl
frequency is, . For present case
synchronous condition has been
assumed I.e. = (see Figure 1.10a).
The stiffness of the shaft is expressed as

Apart from restoring force contribution from the shaft, the damping
force is also considered. The damping force is idealized as viscous
damper and it is mainly coming from the support and aerodynamic
forces at disc.
The material damping of the shaft will not contribute viscous damping
and it may leads to instability in the rotor and it is not considered here.
For the case i.e. when the disc is rotating at constant spin
speed, the Jeffcott rotor model is reduces to two DOF rotor model.

Equations of motion can be written in the standard from as
It should be noted that equations of motion are uncoupled and motion
can be analyzed independently in two transverse planes.
Noting equation (8), from the undamped free vibration analyses it can
be seen that since the rotor is symmetric rotor hence it will be having
two natural frequencies that are equal and given as
The damping does not affect the natural frequency of the system
appreciably. However, their effect is more predominate for
suppressing the resonance amplitude.

The steady state forced response can be written as
where and are the steady state forced response amplitudes in the
x and y directions, respectively. is the phase lag of the x-direction
displacement with respect to the imbalance force.
The phase difference between the two direction responses will be of

as two directions are orthogonal to each other. For the direction of
whirling shown in Figure 1.5 i.e. counter clockwise (ccw) for the
present axis system the response in the y direction will lead the x
direction response by radians. Hence the lead of the y direction
response with respect to the force will be .

From equations (29) and (30) it can be seen that because of the
symmetry of the rotor the orbit is circular in nature. An alternative
approach that is very popular in rotor dynamics analyses is to use the

Fig 1.11(a)
Variation of the non-
dimensional response versus
frequency ratio for different
damping ratios
Figure 1.11(a) shows that the maximum
amplitude occurs at slightly higher frequency
than when the damping is present in the
system, however maximum amplitude occurs
at
n
for the undamped case.
The increase in the damping results in
increase in the critical speed, however
damping is the most important parameter for
reducing the whirl amplitude at critical speed.
Since the measurement of the amplitude of
vibration at critical speed is difficult, hence
determination of the precise critical speed is
difficult.
To overcome this problem the measurement
of the phase is advantageous at least to
determine the undamped natural frequency
of the system.
Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
Fig 1.11(b)
Variation of the phase versus
frequency ratio for different
damping ratios
As it can be seen from Figure 1.11(b) the
phase angle is 90
0
at frequency even for the
case of damped system.
For lightly underdamped system the phase
angle changes from 0
0
to 90
0
as the spin
speed is increased and becomes 180
0
as the
spin speed is increased to higher frequency
ratio.
For very high-overdamped system the phase
angle always remain at 90
0
before and after
the resonance, which may be a physically
unrealistic case.
As the spin speed crosses the critical speed
the center of the mass of the disc of Jeffcott
rotor comes inside of the whirl orbit and rotor
tries to rotate about the center of gravity.
As can be seen from the graph at the spin
speed approaches infinity the displacement of
the shaft tends to the equal to the disc
eccentricity.
Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
The change in phase between the force and the response is also shown
in Figure 1.7 for three difference spin speeds i.e. below the critical
speed, at the critical speed and above the critical speed.

More generalized Jeffcott Rotor Model
Figures 14 and 15 show a more general case of Jeffcott rotor when
the rigid disc is placed with some offset from the mid-span,
respectively in y-z and x-z planes.
For such rotors apart from two transverse displacements of center of
the disc i.e. and , the tilting of the disc about the x and y axis i.e.
and , also occurs and makes the rotor system as four dofs.
In figure the point C is the geometrical center and G is the center of
gravity of the disc.
From geometry the component, we can have the following relations
From Figure 9(b) equations of motion of the disc can be written as

From above equations it can be observed that equations are coupled
with titling component of the displacement,
Similarly, from Figure 10(b) we can write equations of motion as
and
Equations (59) and (60) are coupled with titling component of the
displacement,
However, two transverse plane motions are not coupled and that will
allow two-plane motion to analyze independent of each other i.e. set of
equations (57 and 58) and equations (59 and 60) can be solved
independent of each other.
The analyses can be further simplified with the assumption of small
tilting angle i.e. and equations (57 and 59) can be
simplified as

1.4 Symmetrical rigid shaft in flexible anisotropic bearings
In systems where the bearings are far more flexible than the shaft it is the
bearings, which will have the greatest influence on the motion of the rotor.
Such rotors may be idealized as rigid rotor.
Fig 1.28(b) Positive conversions of angular displacements.
Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
It is assumed that the shaft has no flexibility
The bearings are assumed to behave as linear springs having a stiffness
kx in the horizontal direction and ky in the vertical direction. m is the rotor
mass.
The center of gravity is offset from geometrical center by distances e and d
as shown in Figure 1.28(a). x and y are the linear displacements of the rotor
(geometrical center) in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively.
and are the angular displacement of the rotor (geometrical center line)
in the z-x and y-z planes, respectively.
Since for the present case there is no coupling between various
displacements i.e. x, y, and . Hence free body diagrams and equations of
motion have been obtained by giving such displacements independent of
each other.

rotor, and it is superimposed on the lateral motion described previously.
o A reversal of the direction of the orbit associated with this motion also
occurs, between two critical speeds associated with angular motion of the
rotor (i.e.

The amplitude of the force transmitted to the bearings is different in
horizontal and vertical directions, as well as at each end of the rotor.
The force transmitted is that which causes the bearings to deform
and is given by the product of spring stiffness and rotor deflection at
the bearing.
The bearing force amplitudes are
in horizontal and vertical direction respectively.
The + sign refers to the angular motion of the rotor causes the rotor
end to deflect in the same direction to the lateral deflections of the
rotor and the - sign refers to the angular motion of the rotor causes
the rotor end to deflection in the opposite direction to the lateral
deflections of the rotor.
These bearing forces must take on maximum values when the
system is operated at the critical speeds, where x, y, and are

Example 8.
A long rigid symmetric rotor is supported at ends by two identical
bearings. Let the shaft has the diameter of 0.2 m, the length of shaft
is 1 m and the mass density of the shaft material equal to 7800
kg/m3. The bearing dynamic characteristics are as follows: kxx = kyy
= 1 kN/mm with rest of the stiffness and damping terms equal to zero.
By considering the gyroscopic effect negligible also, obtain the
natural frequencies of the system.
Since cross-coupled stiffness coefficients is x and y directions are zero
and no gyroscopic effect is considered, hence single plane motion can be
considered one at a time. For the present analysis there is no coupling is
considered between the linear and rotational displacements and since
stiffness in x and y direction is same hence natural frequencies in these
directions can be written as
Similarly natural frequencies corresponding to the tilting motion can be
written as

1.5 Symmetrical rigid shaft in flexible anisotropic
bearings with damping and cross coupling
For the case of oil-film lubricated bearings the bearing have associated
damping properties as well as spring stiffness properties.
Furthermore in case of hydrodynamic bearings the shaft motion in the
horizontal direction is coupled with that in the vertical direction.
However, coupling between the translational and tilting motion has not
been considered since the rotor is symmetric.
In most applications the properties of such bearings are described in
terms of the eight linearised bearing stiffness and damping coefficients.
Symmetrical rigid shaft in flexible anisotropic bearings will be identical to Fig 1.28
with cross-coupled terms. The EOM for rotor are given by

mass moment of inertia of 0.1 kg-m2, supported by flexible bearings as
shown in Figure 128. The bearing properties are: kxx = 2.0 104 N/m, kyy
= 8.8 104 N/m, kxy = 1.0 103 N/m, kyx = 1.5 103 N/m, cxx = 1.0 N-s/m, cyy
= 1.0 N-s/m, cxy = 1.0 10-1 N-s/m and kxx = 1.0 10-1 N-s/m. Obtain the
unbalance response (amplitude and phase) at bearing locations when the
radial eccentricity of 0.1 mm and axial eccentricity of 1 mm is present in
the rotor and locate critical speeds.
Solution:
Fig 1.35 shows the unbalance responses both for the linear and
angular displacements. Both the amplitude and phase has been
plotted. It can be observed that in the plot of linear and angular
displacement two peaks appears and they correspond to the critical
speeds of the system. Since the linear and angular displacements are
uncoupled for the present case and hence corresponding critical
speeds appears in respective plots. There are four critical speeds: 70
rad/s, 120 rad/s, 480 rad/s and 920 rad/s

Exercise Problem E1.6.
Obtain the critical speeds for transverse vibrations of rotor-bearing
system as shown in Figure E1.6. Consider shaft as rigid. The shaft is of 1
m of span and the diameter is 0.05 m with the mass density of 7800
kg/m3. The shaft is supported at ends by flexible bearings. Consider the
motion in both the vertical and horizontal planes. Take the following
bearing properties:
For bearing A: kxx = 20 MN/m, kyy = 15 MN/m, kxy = -1.5 MN/m, kyx = 25
MN/m, cxx = 200 kN-s/m, cxy = 150 kN-s/m, cyx = 140 kN-s/m, cyy = 400
kN-s/m,
For bearing B: kxx = 24 MN/m, kyy = 17 MN/m, kxy = -2.5 MN/m, kyx =
30 MN/m, cxx = 210 kN-s/m, cxy = 160 kN-s/m, cyx = 135 kN-s/m, cyy =
380 kN-s/m.
Bearing forces:
The forces, which are transmitted to the bearings, are those, which
deform the bearing lubricant film, and do not include rotor inertia terms.
In general bearing forces will lag behind the imbalance force such that
the bearing horizontal and vertical force components, at one end A of the
machine, can be represented as

1.6 Asymmetrical flexible shaft in flexible anistropic bearings
with damping and cross coupling
Fig 1.36
A flexible shaft in flexible bearings
For the present case both the shaft and bearings are flexible.
The analysis allows for different instantaneous displacements of the shaft
at the disc and at bearings.
The system will behave in a similar manner to that described in previous
section, except that the flexibility of shaft will increase the overall flexibility
of the support system as seen by the disc.
Dr. R. Tiwari (rtiwari@iitg.ernet.in)
An equivalent set of system stiffness and damping coefficients is first
evaluated, which allows for the flexibility of the shaft in addition to that of
bearings, and is used in place of the bearing coefficients in previous
section analysis.
The total deflection of the disc is the vector sum of the deflection of the
disc relative to the shaft ends plus that of the shaft ends to the
foundation. For disc we observe the displacement of geometrical center
of the disc.
The deflection of shaft ends in bearings is related to the force
transmitted through bearings by the bearing stiffness and damping
coefficients as

The magnitude of reaction forces transmitted by bearings can also be
evaluated in terms of the forces applied to the shaft by the rotor. (Hence shaft
is not assumed to be rigid and moment balance is considered).
