✦ Synopsis
Viscoelastic polymeric materials provide good support elements to rotor shaft systems by virtue of their eciency in dissipating vibratory energy. The inphase stiness and loss factor for such materials also change with the frequency of excitation they are subjected to. In this paper frequency dependent characteristics of the polymeric supports have been found by simultaneously minimizing the unbalanced response and maximizing the stability limit speed. This process yields better support characteristics than those obtained by minimizing unbalance response alone. Optimum characteristics have been found for the rotor shaft system mounted on (a) rolling element bearings and (b) plain cylindrical journal bearings at the ends having polymeric supports. The eects of viscous internal damping in the shaft, support mass and gyroscopic eect due to non-symmetrical location of the disc have been considered in the analysis. A procedure of controlling the slope of the support characteristics versus frequency of excitation has been used and found to be very suitable for obtaining feasible support characteristics. Examples have been presented to justify the above conclusions.
