of linear and quadratic shape functions. Chapter 6 also shows how the
global stiffness and inertia matrices are assembled from the individual
element matrices. Also provided is a table of equations for obtaining
values of polar moments of inertia, radii of gyration, torsional stiffness, and torsional stresses from geometric and physical data for commonly occurring cylindrical and annular component configurations.
The derivations are given in App. B.
The required system equations for computing the machine torsional
natural frequencies and mode shapes are developed in Chap. 7. It
illustrates with examples the benefit of employing distributed inertia
finite elements in comparison to traditional lumped inertia representations. Orthogonality of normal modes is discussed, and a method for
systematically reducing the size of a very large eigenvalue problem is
covered (this is sometimes referred to in the literature as eigenvalue
economization).
The required matrix equations and solutions using modal analysis
theory for both steady-state and transient response are developed in
Chap. 8. The benefits of using modal analysis transformations are covered in detail.
The problem to be solved in each case is calculation of the magnitudes
of the angular responses at each model node and the corresponding
shaft response torques for given torsional inputs.
For steady-state response, the applied torque inputs are the amplitudes and phases at each node and the frequency of the applied
torques.
For transient response, the applied torque inputs at each node are
the torque-time histories and the angular displacement and velocity
initial conditions.
