Surface Response Modeling for Rotor-Dynamics Systems

Abstract

This paper presents the way to generate an equation that does not exist, to analyze different rotor-dynamics system. With the analysis and design software, the results desired were obtained in order to be able to create the equation needed. Using Matlab program and the Response Surface Methodology, an equation with four different variables was generated, in order to use it and obtain the critical speeds of a rotor without the necessity to analyze the rotor in a design simulator program. Key Terms - Critical Speed Analysis, Finite Element (FE), Response Surface, Rotor-Dynamics.
