In this paper, the in-plane free vibration analysis of the functionally graded rotating disks with variable thickness is presented utilizing DQM. It is assumed that the rotational velocity of the disk is constant and the thickness and material properties including modulus of elasticity and density vary along the radial coordinate. The distribution of the forward and backward traveling waves versus the angular velocity is demonstrated for several modal circles and nodal diameters with respect to the fixed and rotating coordinate systems. After presenting the accuracy and convergence of the numerical method, the derived formulation and the solution method are validated by comparing the results... 

In this paper a new continuous model for flexural vibration of rotors with an open edge crack has been developed. The cracked rotor is considered in the rotating coordinate system attached to it. Therefore, the rotor bending can be decomposed in two perpendicular directions. Two quasi-linear displacement fields are assumed for these two directions and the strain and stress fields are calculated in each direction. Then the final displacement and stress fields are obtained by composing the displacement and stress fields in the two directions. The governing equation of motion for the rotor has been obtained using the Hamilton principle and solved using a modified Galerkin method. The free...
