Abstract
A quill-shaft coupling-rotor-bearing system is modeled and reported in this paper. The system consists of two rotors connected by a quill-shaft coupling in which each rotor is supported by two bearings. The stiffness matrix of the quill-shaft coupling is deduced and the equation of motion of the system is obtained by using the finite element method. Finally, the rotordynamics analysis of the system is conducted. The numerical results show that more frequency veering points occur for the quill-shaft coupling-rotor-bearing system compared with those of single rotor. In addition, the stiffness of the flexural element has significant effects on the first bending natural frequency of the quill shaft when the length of the quill shaft becomes shorter.
