rotorspecific
Rotorspecific is a term used in rotor dynamics to describe properties, responses, or phenomena that are inherent to a rotor unit within a rotating machinery system. It denotes that the dynamic behavior—such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping—depends primarily on the rotor's own geometry, mass distribution, material properties, and support conditions rather than on the stationary components alone. While related concepts such as rotor–stator interaction and system-wide dynamics exist, rotorspecific emphasizes rotor-dominant effects.
In engineering practice, rotorspecific factors are considered when designing or balancing rotors used in turbomachines, flywheels,
Characterization of rotorspecific behavior relies on a mix of modeling and testing. Finite element models, modal
Terminology around rotorspecific remains informal and encounter-specific. It is not a universally standardized technical term, and
