Abstract This paper presents a model of flexible beams rotating on the inner surface of an elastic stationary ring. The beams possesses two degrees of freedom, traction/compression and flexure. The in-plane deformations of the ring are considered and a single mode approximation is used. The model has been developed within the rotating frame by use of an energetic method. To better understand the phenomena occurring, the degrees of freedom of the beams can first be treated separately then together. Stability analysis show that even without rubbing, the radial degree of freedom of a beam rotating on an elastic ring can create… More >
