Abstract
An analytical method is adopted to determine modal characteristics of non-linear spinning discs. The disc is assumed to be isotropic and rotating under steady-state conditions. The effects of amplitude and rotating speed on natural frequencies are determined. The developed procedure is also capable of analysing natural frequencies of linear free vibration, which is independent of amplitude. Attention is confined to determine natural frequencies, mode shapes, stress distributions, and critical speeds for different numbers of nodal diameters. The developed procedure does not consider modes of vibration corresponding to nodal circles. Validity of this procedure is verified by comparing some of the computed results with those established for certain cases.
