Module Description of TORSION™ (Torsional Vibration)

The torsional vibration module use a finite element based formulation for performing damped and undamped torsional natural frequencies, mode shapes, steady-state and time-transient response of mechanical drive trains. TORSION consists of three sub-modules TORNAT, TORHRM and TORRSP integrated by TORSION's module messenger. The messenger controls the sub-modules to provide a complete torsional vibration analysis environment. TORSION accepts models generated with ROTLAT and has the same basic modeling capabilities as well as the modeling of multi-shaft/multi-branch systems, coupling stiffness and damping, gear tooth flexibility, various types of external excitation, synchronous motor start-up torque, compressor torque, etc.

TORSION’s analytical results include:

1. Natural Frequency

  • Damped and undamped
  • Growth factors and damping ratios
  • Mode shapes of vibration
  • Critical speed map
    (Campbell Diagram)

 

2. Steady-State Response

  • Vibratory amplitudes
    (displacement, velocity and acceleration)
  • Dynamic torques
  • Dynamic stresses
  • Dynamic heat dissipation

 


3. Time-Transient Response

  • Dynamic shaft torque time history
  • Dynamic stresses
  • Fatigue life
