Abstract

A method for selecting rotor suspension design criteria that allow rotors with internal friction to negotiate critical speeds and avoid subsynchronous internal friction instabilities is described. A rotor model of a test rotor with internal friction is created and used to calculate the test rotor’s critical speeds, mode shapes, Campbell plots, and the rotational speed corresponding to the stability boundary for a nominal set of suspension parameters. The test rotor model is then used to demonstrate the suspension design criteria selection method.
