Frequency Analysis of a rotating shaft
AIM: To perform a frequency analysis on a Rotating shatf using solidworks to obtain resonance frequencies for different modes.
OBJECTIVES:
1) Make the model of the Rotating shaft having a disc on it by assuming dimensions.
2) Perform Frequency analysis on the model.
3) Obtain Different modes and list the resonant frequencies.
MODEL:
> The model drawings are as following:
FREQUENCY ANALYSIS:
> In this analysis the model is analysed for different mode shapes to obtain resonant frequencies.
> The input parameters used for the study are:
1) Material = Alloy Steel
2) Fixtures = Bearing supports on the stepped faces of shaft. (in order to rotate the shaft)
3) Mesh = Basic mesh
RESULTS:
> The results are obtained in the form of Amplitude of the resonant frequency:
AMPLITUDE-1
AMPLITUDE-2
AMPLITUDE-3
AMPLITUDE-4
AMPLITUDE-5
