Abstract
A two complex degrees of freedom model is developed and compared to experimental data for various amounts of rotor bow and its orientation to mass imbalance of the rotor. The equation of motion is developed by adding constant forces that rotate with the rotor to a Bently-Muszynska two-mode isotropic rotor model with a plane journal bearing. Diagnostic information discernable from probes at the bearing is emphasized and compared to midspan response where previous research has concentrated. Good agreement between the analytical model and experiment demonstrate that the analysis presented can be useful to diagnose and balance residual shaft bow from probes located at the bearings where vibration data is typically more available.
