Course detail
Dynamics of Rotor Systems
FSI-9DRS Acad. year: 2022/2023 Summer semester
In this course, students will be acquainted with dynamic behavior of components and parts of rotor systems. Attention is paid to the critical speed prediction and possibilities of reducing vibrations of rotating machines, as well as determination of characteristics of the links between rotating and non-rotating parts. These characteristics tend to be non-linear, so attention is also paid to linearization. In addition, the students will be acquainted with the possibilities of data processing obtained during measurement of vibrations of rotating machines

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will acquire knowledge of rotor systems. The graduate will be able to perform the analysis of vibrations of rotating machines and predict resonance states. In addition, they will be able to determine the probable cause of vibration based on the processing of measured data and propose adjustments to reduce them.
Prerequisites
Students must be able to solve the eigen value problem, solve the response in forced, steady and transient oscillations of systems with n degrees of freedom. Furthermore, the students must to have knowledge of the basics of nonlinear vibrations, and knowledge of the basics of experimental modal analysis.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The students will solve the semester tasks, which are necessary e for awarding the course-unit credit. In the last week of the semester students will write the exam tests. This test consists of 10 questions, where 2 points are the maximum for each question. It is necessary to obtain minimum 10 points. 19-20 – excelent
16-18 – very good
14-15 – good
12-13 – satisfactory
10-11 – sufficent
0-9 – failed
In case of unsatisfactory evaluation, the second part of the exam is oral. The results of semester assignments will be taken into account for final evaluation.
Aims
The course is focused on explanation of the theoretical basis of rotor systems dynamics. It is focused on computational and experimental modeling of dynamic properties. Exercise takes place on a computer, it solves practical problems occurring in rotary machines. Furthermore, the course is focused on obtaining the necessary information from the measured data.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Longer absence is compensated for by special tasks according to instructions of the tutor. Seminar credits are awarded on the condition of: active presence in the seminars, good results of seminar tests on basic knowledge, solution of additional tasks in case of longer excusable absence. Seminar tutor will specify the concrete form of these conditions in the first week of semester.
