5. C modeling#

5.1. Characteristics of modeling#

It is a system of shafts rotating along the \(Y\) axis with positive rotation speeds. The change of frame of reference requires a new data on the characteristics of the levels, which are indicated in the following table.

Level

\(\mathrm{P1}\)

\({K}_{\mathrm{xx}}={8.10}^{7}N/m\)

\({K}_{\mathrm{zz}}={1.10}^{8}N/m\)

\({K}_{\mathrm{xz}}=-{1.10}^{7}N/m\)

\({K}_{\mathrm{zx}}=-{6.10}^{7}N/m\)

\({C}_{\mathrm{xx}}=8.{10}^{3}\mathrm{Ns}/m\)

\({C}_{\mathrm{zz}}=1.2{10}^{4}\mathrm{Ns}/m\)

\({C}_{\mathrm{xz}}=-3.{10}^{3}\mathrm{Ns}/m\)

\({C}_{\mathrm{zx}}=-{3.10}^{3}\mathrm{Ns}/m\)

Level

\(\mathrm{P2}\)

\({K}_{\mathrm{xx}}=5.{10}^{7}N/m\)

\({K}_{\mathrm{zz}}=7.{10}^{7}N/m\)

\({K}_{\mathrm{xz}}=-2.{10}^{6}N/m\)

\({K}_{\mathrm{zx}}=-4.{10}^{7}N/m\)

\({C}_{\mathrm{xx}}=6.{10}^{3}\mathrm{Ns}/m\)

\({C}_{\mathrm{zz}}=8.{10}^{3}\mathrm{Ns}/m\)

\({C}_{\mathrm{xz}}=-1.5{10}^{3}\mathrm{Ns}/m\)

\({C}_{\mathrm{zx}}=-1.5{10}^{3}\mathrm{Ns}/m\)

5.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The rotor is meshed in 12 finite shaft elements of type POU_D_T and includes 4 discrete elements of type DIS_TR for modeling disks and bearings.

Number of knots: 13

Number and type of elements: 12 SEG2

5.3.1. Natural frequencies as a function of the speed of rotation#

The values of the first 8 bending frequencies for speeds \(0\mathrm{tr}/\mathrm{mn}\) and \(60000\mathrm{tr}/\mathrm{mn}\), for both software programs, are shown in the table below.

Table 2-a: Bending natural frequencies for Code_Aster and ROTORINSA

The frequencies obtained are in perfect harmony with those of ROTORINSA.

There is an instability of the first mode, which appears at \(16760\mathrm{tr}/\mathrm{mn}\).

In Code_Aster, we also observe frequencies and modes of torsion and modes of traction/compression. These modes are not calculated by ROTORINSA, as it only models bending behavior. The values of these frequencies are tested in NON_REGRESSION and only when stopped. In fact, the modes of twisting and pulling are, by definition, invariant with respect to the speed of rotation.
