THEORY:An elastic shaft fitted with one mass disc is studied as the simplest rotor
model with a critical speed. It is also called the Laval shaft after the Swedish
engineer de Laval. (It is also known as Jeffcott-rotor ). He used the
characteristics of this shaft to construct high speed steam turbines with
speeds of up to 30,000 rpm. This point will be discussed later.
The following simplifications and limitations are specified:
- straight, massless elastic shaft
- circular shaft (main geometrical moments ofinertia equal)
- bearing rigid with contact at one point
- no damping
- twisting of mass disc due to bending minimal (idealised as point mass
without rotational moment of inertia)
