Abstract
This paper presents a Dynamic Finite Element (DFE) formulation, based on the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) approach, for vibrational analysis of spinning beams. The constituent members are considered to be linearly tapered as well as centrifugally stiffened. A non-dimensional formulation is considered, and the frequency dependent trigonometric shape functions are used to find a single frequency dependent element matrix (called DSM) which has both mass and stiffness properties. An adapted bisection method based on a Sturm sequence root counting technique, is used to find the first four out-of-plane flexural natural frequencies of a cantilevered linearly tapered (in height) beam for different non-dimensional rotating speeds. The results have been compared to those found by finite elements method using Hermite beam elements. Much better convergency rates are found by this method when comparing to conventional finite element methods.
