The equations of motion of a general multibody system are derived using the Langrangian approach. The multibody system can be an assemblage of flexible as well as rigid bodies. The equations of motion of a rotor-bearing system are deduced from those of the general multibody syst…

The coupled bending and torsional vibration of a rotating tapered shaft based on Timoshenko beam theory is presented by means of the finite element technique. The shaft which is assumed to have circular cross-section and linear taper is discretized into a number of finite elemen…
