8. Summary of results

Good implementation of the gyroscopic effect for the beam element. The change of axis from beam \(x\) (direction in which the elements were installed) (modeling A) to a direction \(x+y\) (modeling B) does not cause differences in results.

In the absence of an analytical reference for the validation of discrete elements subjected to the gyroscopic effect, the C and E models still make it possible to verify the implantation of the gyroscopic matrix of a disk that is assumed to be undeformable. The movement of each of the disks is fixed by that of the nodes and therefore follows the deformation of the neutral fiber only discreetly. This explains the differences observed on the C model, especially for the high modes characterized by a greater concavity of the modal deformation.
