Abstract

The present work deals with natural and whirl frequency analysis of a porous functionally graded (FG) rotor–bearing system using the finite element method (FEM). Stiffness, mass and gyroscopic matrices are derived for porous and non-porous FG shafts by developing a novel two-noded porous FG shaft element using Timoshenko beam theory (TBT), considering the effects of translational inertia, rotatory inertia, gyroscopic moments and shear deformation. A functionally graded shaft whose inner core is comprised of stainless steel (SS) and an outer layer made of ceramic (ZrO2) is considered. The effects of porosity on the volume fractions and the material properties are modelled using a porosity index. The non-linear temperature distribution (NLTD) method based on the Fourier law of heat conduction is used for the temperature distribution in the radial direction. The natural and whirl frequencies of the porous and non-porous FG rotor systems have been computed for different power law indices, volume fractions of porosity and thermal gradients to investigate the influence of porosity on fundamental frequencies. It has been found that the power law index, volume fraction of porosity and thermal gradient have a significant influence on the natural and whirl frequencies of the FG rotor–bearing system.
