Abstract

In this paper the dynamic stiffness method is developed to analyze a rotating asymmetric shaft, i.e., a shaft whose transverse section is characterized by dissimilar principal moments of inertia. The shaft is modelled according to the Rayleigh beam theory including the effects of both translational and rotational inertia, and gyroscopic moments. The mathematical description is carried out in a reference system rotating at the shaft speed and is based on the exact solution of the governing differential equations of motion. The exact expressions of the shaft displacements are utilized for deriving the 8×8 complex dynamic stiffness matrix of the shaft. A new relationship is obtained which links the dynamic stiffness matrix of the asymmetric shaft to the 4×4 real dynamic stiffness matrix of the axisymmetric shaft.
