Lecture 25 : Whirling and critical speed Objectives In this lecture you will learn the following Whirl of shaft with a rotor having some eccentricity Synchronous whirl Critical speed Rayleighs and Dunkerleys formulae WHIRLING OF SHAFTS – CRITICAL SPEED Fig 9.5.1 Fig 9.5.2 Consider a typical shaft, carrying a rotor (disk) mounted between two bearings as shown in Fig. 9. 5.1. Let us assume that the overall mass of the shaft is negligible compared to that of the rotor (disk) and hence we can consider it as a simple torsional spring. The rotor (disk) section has a geometric centre i.e., the centre of the circular cross-section and the mass centre due to the material distribution. These two may or may not coincide in general, leading to eccentricity as indicated in Fig. 9.5.2. The eccentricity could be due to internal material defects, manufacturing errors etc. As the shaft rotates, the eccentricity implies that the mass of the rotor rotating with some eccentricity will cause in-plane centrifugal force. Due to the flexibility of the shaft, the shaft will be pulled away from its central line as indicated in the figure. Let us assume that the air-friction damping force is negligible. The centrifugal force for a given speed is thus balanced by the internal resistance force in the shaft- spring and the system comes to an equilibrium position with the shaft in a bent configuration as indicated in the figure. Thus the shaft is rotating about its own axis and the plane containing the bent shaft and the li
