Abstract

For the smooth functioning of turbomachines, the design of the rotor, the bearings, the supporting structure, and the foundation should be carried out as an integrated system. The frequency domain method in conjunction with FEM is chosen for the analysis. The modified influence matrix boundary condition method is applied to reduce the number of equations to be solved. Results for 4 idealized cases are compared. It is shown that the interaction effects are significant in the lowest frequency domain.

Integrated Analysis of Turbomachinery Frame-Foundation-Soil Interaction
