Flexural Vibrations of a Rotating Shaft Having Nonlinear Constraints

Abstract

<p> Flexural vibrations of a shaft mounted at each end on a non - linear spring have been studied. Theoretical analysis is carried out for the cubic non-linear spring. </p> <p> The effect of mountirig of a heavy rotor on the shaft has been considered. The stability analysis of the system is also given in the theoretical analysis.</p>
