Abstract

The vibration of a spinning annular disk with coupled translational and rotational rigid body motion is analyzed. The spinning disk, with one linear spring as transverse load, is free to translate and rotate relative to the shaft axis. The governing equation includes the rigid body translation, rigid body rotation, and flexible disk vibration. Coupling effect between rigid body motion and each annular disk vibration modes is identified. Because of the coupling effects, stable operation of the spinning disk beyond divergence (critical speed) is achieved, the disk loses its stability to flutter. This stability prediction is different from that of a spinning disk without rigid body motion where the disk is unstable at and right after divergence.
