Abstract
This paper presents a general formulation for the stability problem of a linear model of dual rotor system with intershaft bearing(s) employing an ‘extended’ transfer matrix method [9] using complex variables. The stability criterion employed is essentially an extension of leonhard’s stability criterion. An alternative concept of ‘margin of stability’ has been suggested. In contrast to other methods, the present formulation maintains the integrity of dual rotor system in totality, by considering exact junction conditions at intershaft bearing. And it is felt that it would prove to be an potential method for analyzing the stability of complex rotor systems.
