Finite Element Methods for Rotor Dynamics

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: History of Mechanism and Machine Science ((HMMS,volume 20))

Abstract

The finite element method for rotors was first developed by Ruhl and Booker [29]. Nelson and McVaugh [16] extended this to include gyroscopic effects. The effects of axial torque were included by Zorzi and Nelson [37] and Nelson [15] gave rotor dynamics elements with the Timoshenko beam theory. For details on the finite element method, see also [1, 4, 10, 11, 19].
