Abstract
This paper predicts the critical speeds of a 5MW industrial gas turbine by using commercial rotordynamic tool, DYNAMICS 4.3. The gas turbine is operated at 12,975 rpm on squeeze film dampers. The stiffness of the squeeze film dampers are estimated. The critical speeds of the gas turbine rotor are calculated to have a sufficient separation margin (2%) from the 1st bending mode and pass over 2 rigid body modes below 4,000 cpm. This paper discussed the coupling effects on the dynamic response of the gas turbine.
