A Method of Balancing Large-Scale Flexible Rotors Without Test Runs

In all methods of balancing flexible rotors currently in use, test masses and test runs are required for the calculation of correction masses. In this paper, a method of identifying the unbalances is derived by main-shaft-section transfer matrix, which is based on the measured responses of the rotor. So, the unbalance can be identified without test runs.Copyright © 1995 by ASME
