On-board rotating machinery subject to multi-axial excitations is encountered in a wide variety of high-technology applications. Such excitations combined with mass unbalance forces play a considerable role in their integrity because they can cause parametric instability and rotor–stator interactions. Consequently, predicting the rotordynamics of s...
