Question: ( 3 0 Points ) The 2 DOF rotating mass model below features a 6 0 kg rotor with a mass unbalance level of U

(30 Points) The 2 DOF rotating mass model below features a 60 kg rotor with a mass
unbalance level of Uu=3.0kg*mm.
a. Specify the horizonal and vertical stiffness coefficients, kx and ky, such that the
horizontal and vertical natural frequencies are calculated as 5000 rpm and
9000 rpm , respectively.
b. Specify the horizonal and vertical damping coefficients, cx and cy, such that the
horizontal and vertical damping ratios are calculated as 8% and 5%, respectively.
c. Calculate the orbit ellipse properties (i.e. semi-major axis, semi-minor axis, and
attitude angle) at a running speed of 4900 rpm . Is the orbit forward whirling or
backward whirling at this speed?
d. Provide a single plot of the circular forward and backward whirling components
of the orbit as well as the overall elliptical rotor orbit.
