Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review the modelling of lateral vibrations in turbomachinery and to justify and describe the systematic development of a software package based upon finite element techniques. The package is capable of providing stability analysis, steady state and transient responses which were required in connection with a study to compare vibration control techniques. Emphasis is placed on user-friendliness and careful validation by comparison with available results from rotor-bearing systems of gradually increasing complexity. A series of examples is included to illustrate the application of the package and compare its performance with other well known methods. Computational requirements (for an IBM 3083 machine) are discussed in some detail.
