Dynamic modeling and analysis of drum-type washing machine

In this study, dynamic analysis of a drum-type washing machine has been conducted using a simplified dynamic model considering gyroscopic effects. Its mathematical model has 6-degree of freedom in the complex coordinate space into which is transformed real coordinate space to understand the whirling motion easily. Dynamic analysis is performed using MATLAB. For the purpose of numerical verification, the results for unbalance response are presented and compared with the experimental vibration test. The mathematical model proves quite good accuracy in predicting dynamic characteristics which could be changed by the parameters of design variable and can reduce design cycle shortly. Dynamic characteristics of a washing machine are shown through shape and directivity index (SDI), whirling orbits, rigid and flexible mode of a drum type washing machine during drum run-up. In designing drum type of washing machine, it is efficient than finite element method to analyze behaviors of drum and tub.
