Abstract: The paper describes work that has been carried out into the flexural vibrational behavior of a rotor mounted on several bearings and containing a transverse crack. A method of solving the ...

Abstract: The effects of a transverse crack on the dynamics of a multi-rotor, multi-bearing system have been studied experimentally using a spin rig. It is concluded that except for very large cracks, ...

Abstract: The self-excited transverse vibration of an elastic multirotor system due to vertical misalignment of the support bearings is investigated using initial value problem techniques. The equations of ...
