Abstract: This paper investigates the vibration mode structure of threedimensional, cyclically symmetric centrifugal pendulum vibration absorber (CPVA) systems. The rotor in the system has two translational, one rotational, and two ...

Abstract: A linear model for the bendingbendingtorsionalaxial vibration of a spinning cantilever beam with a rigid body attached at its free end is derived using Hamilton's principle. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the beam ...

Abstract: This paper investigates how the natural frequencies of planetary gears tend to gather into clusters (or groups). This behavior is observed experimentally and analyzed in further detail by numerical analysis. There are three ...

Abstract: This article summarizes published journal articles on planetary and epicyclic gear dynamics and vibration. Research in this field has increased dramatically over the past two decades. The wide range of research topics ...

Abstract: This paper provides a tutorial and summary of the theory of circulant matrices and their application to the modeling and analysis of the free and forced vibration of mechanical structures with cyclic symmetry. Our presentation ...
