2. 1. Equations of motion. The equations of motion for a rotor mounted on the end of a rotating cantilever are derived in analytically and complex variables are introduced. Physical interpretations of the different terms of the equation.s are given. Fig. 1 shows the notations

COS0 is valid, i.e.

the support of the rotor is statically stable.

Then the gyroscopic matrix

( C > A) •

The motion will in one form or another be subject to damping. Let,for example,the disk vibrate in a damping fluid, supposing that the damping force is proportional to the rate of deflectio~ then (2. 1 0) has to be completed by a damping matrix

As

0 is positive definite the aforesaid stability criter.i
