Abstract

This study presents a modified approach for analyzing torsional vibrations in rotor systems using an enhanced Holzer method integrated with MATLAB-based techniques through the development of a graphical user interface (GUI). The primary objective is to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach and GUI in evaluating torsional vibration behavior in well-known rotor configurations, including two-, three-, and five-rotor systems. Classic torsional vibration problems were examined using the developed tools, and the results verified the accuracy and practicality of the method. The findings indicate that the modified approach and MATLAB GUI provide efficient, reliable, and user-friendly solutions for engineers, designers, and vibration analysts in studying and addressing torsional vibration issues in rotor systems.
