1 Introduction
The rotating composite material shafts are being used asstructural elements in many application areas involving therotating machinery systems This is likely to contribute tothe high strength to weight ratio lower vibration level andlonger service life of compositematerials A significantweightsaving can be achieved by the use of compositematerials Alsoby appropriate design of the composite layup configurationorientation and number of plies the improved performanceof the shaft system can be obtained Furthermore the useof composite would permit the use of longer shafts in thesupercritical range than what is possible with conventionalmetallic shafts In the last few years there exist numerousresearches related to predicting critical speeds and naturalfrequencies of composite shaft Zinberg and Symonds [1]investigated the critical speeds of rotating anisotropic cylin-drical shafts based on an equivalent modulus beam theory(EMBT) and dos Reis et al [2] evaluated the shaft of Zinbergand Symonds [1] by the finite element method Kim andBert [3] adopted the thin- and thick-shell theories of first-order approximation to derive the motion equations of therotating composite thin-walled shafts They used this modelto obtain a closed form solution for a simply supported driveshaft and to analyze the critical speeds of composite shaftsSingh and Gupta [4] developed two composite spinning
shaft models employing EMBT and layerwise beam theory(LBT) respectively It was shown that a discrepancy existsbetween the critical speeds obtained from both models forthe unsymmetric laminated composite shaft Chang et al [5]presented a simple spinning composite shaft model basedon a first-order shear deformable beam theory The finiteelementmethod is used here to find the approximate solutionof the system The model was used to analyze the criticalspeeds frequencies mode shapes and transient response ofa particular composite shaft system Gubran and Gupta [6]presented a modified EMBT model to account for the effectsof a stacking sequence and different coupling mechanismsSong et al [7] used Rehfieldrsquos thin-walled beam theory [8]that presented a composite thin-walled shaft model Theeffects of rotatory inertias axial edge load and boundaryconditions on the natural frequencies and stability of thesystem were investigated Ren et al [9] proposed anothercomposite thin-walled shaftmodel bymeans of the compositethin-walled beam theory an asymptotically correct theoryreferred to as variational asymptotically method (VAM)Theflexible composite shaft is assumed to support on bearingswhich are modeled as springs and dampers and containingof the rigid disks mounted on it The natural frequencies andcritical rotating speeds of the rotating composite shaft withthe variation of the lamination angle ratios of length overradius ratios of radius over thickness and shear deformationare then analyzed

On the other hand composite material shafts have higherinternal damping than conventionalmetallic shaftsHoweveras it has been shown in previous research [10] that internaldamping in rotating assemblies may lead to whirl instabilitiesin high speed rotors Therefore accurate prediction of effectsof internal damping in composite material rotors is essentialSo far there have been less work related to the stability analy-sis particularly effects of internal damping on the stability ofa rotating composite shaft [4 11ndash14] Singh and Gupta [4 11]introduced discrete viscous damping coefficients to accountfor effect of internal damping In a similar approach dynamicinstability analysis of composite shaft has been performedby Montagnier and Hochard [13] Mazzei and Scott [12]Kim et al [14] In above cases internal damping terms wereincluded simply in equations of motion of rotating shaft nointernal damping modeling has been described Sino et al[15] investigated the stability of an internally damped rotatingcomposite shaft Internal damping was introduced by thecomplex constitutive relation of a viscoelastic compositeThe shaft was modeled by finite element method Howeveronly the mechanical coupling effects induced by symmetricalstacking are taken into account in their mode
In the present work an analytical model applicable to thedynamical analysis of rotating composite thin-walled shaftswith internal damping is proposedThismodel is based on thecomposite thin-walled beam theory referred to as variationalasymptotically method (VAM) by Berdichevsky et al [16]The internal damping of shaft is introduced via themultiscaledamping mechanics [17] The equations of motion of thecomposite shafts are derived by the principle of virtual workGalerkinrsquos method is used then to discretize and solve thegoverning equations The natural frequencies critical rotat-ing speeds and instability thresholds are obtained throughnumerical simulations The effect of the ply angle and aspectratio of cross-section are then assessed The validity of themodel is proved by comparing the results with those inliterature and convergence examination
2 Model of Composite Shaft
Consider the slender thin-walled composite shaft given inFigure 1The length of the shaft is denoted by119871 its thickness isdenoted by ℎ the radius of curvature of themiddle is denotedby 119903 and themaximum cross-sectional dimension is denotedby 119889 It is assumed that 119903 ≪ 119871 ℎ ≪ 119903 and the coordinate 120577 ismeasured along the normal to the middle surface within thelimits minusℎ2 ⩽ 120577 ⩽ ℎ2The shaft rotates about its longitudinal119909-axis at a constant rateΩ
21 The Displacement and Strain The components of thedisplacement along the Cartesian coordinate (119909 119910 119911) areexpressed as follows [16]
1199061(119909 119904) = 119906 (119909) minus 119910 (119904) V1015840 (119909) minus 119911 (119904) 119908
1015840(119909) + 119892 (119904 119909)
1199062(119909 119904) = V (119909) minus 119911 (119904) 120593 (119909)
1199063(119909 119904) = 119908 (119909) + 119910 (119904) 120593 (119909)

3 Numerical Results
The numerical calculations are performed by considering theshaftmade of graphite-epoxywhose elastic characteristics arelisted in Table 1 The shaft has rectangular cross-section offixed geometrical characteristics width 119886 = 032m length119871 = 45952m andwall thickness ℎ = 001016mwhose layupis [120579]16with clamped-free boundary conditions
In order to examine the influence of the number of modeshape functions used in the solution of the equation onthe accuracy of the results the numerical results of naturalfrequency are shown in Tables 2 and 3 and modal dampingin Tables 4 and 5 for an increasing number of mode shapefunctions where 119871 119886 and 119887 are the length width andheight respectively From these tables it can be seen thatto obtain accurate results of the first two natural frequenciesand dampings no more than five mode shape functions arerequired This indicates clearly that the convergence of thepresent model is quite good
A comparison of predictions using the present modelwith those obtained in [18] is also shown in Tables 2 3 4 and5 A perfect agreement of numerical results with those in [18]can be seen

it can be seen because of the nonsymmetry of the shaft cross-section (119886119887 = 1) the standstill flexural frequencies about thetwo principal axes (flapping and sweeping denote bendingabout the 119910- and 119911-axis resp) are unequal The behaviors ofthe flapping and sweeping bending frequencies versus rotat-ing speed are very different In fact due to the existence of theCoriolis effect the coupling between flapping and sweepingbending is induced the first decreases until it becomes zerowhile the second continues to increase It is observed thatinstead of a rotating speed there is awhole domain of rotatingspeed in which the first flapping frequency does not existIn this domain the flapping frequency becomes imaginaryvalue implying that the shaft becomes unstableWhen the plyangle is decreased in addition to shift of instability domaintowards larger rotating speeds it is also observed that thedomain of instability is enlarged
Figure 3 shows the variation of the first two flexuraldampings versus rotating speed for various ply angles It canbe seen clearly that as the rotating speed is increased thedamping of flapping bending mode decreases and remainsnegative for all rotating speed so the flapping bending modeis stable From the results of Figure 3 it can be also observedthat the dampings corresponding to sweeping bending modeare negative at low rotating speed and increase with increas-ing rotating speed and at certain value of rotating speed thedampings vanish and then become positive Transformationof damping from a negative to a positive value marks theonset of unstable motion The rotating speed correspondingto zero damping is the threshold of instability of the shaftTheenclosed curves located nearby the threshold of instabilityrepresent that the real parts are conjugate Figure 3 also shows

2 Shock and Vibration
On the other hand composite material shafts have higherinternal damping than conventionalmetallic shaftsHoweveras it has been shown in previous research [10] that internaldamping in rotating assemblies may lead to whirl instabilitiesin high speed rotors Therefore accurate prediction of effectsof internal damping in composite material rotors is essentialSo far there have been less work related to the stability analy-sis particularly effects of internal damping on the stability ofa rotating composite shaft [4 11ndash14] Singh and Gupta [4 11]introduced discrete viscous damping coefficients to accountfor effect of internal damping In a similar approach dynamicinstability analysis of composite shaft has been performedby Montagnier and Hochard [13] Mazzei and Scott [12]Kim et al [14] In above cases internal damping terms wereincluded simply in equations of motion of rotating shaft nointernal damping modeling has been described Sino et al[15] investigated the stability of an internally damped rotatingcomposite shaft Internal damping was introduced by thecomplex constitutive relation of a viscoelastic compositeThe shaft was modeled by finite element method Howeveronly the mechanical coupling effects induced by symmetricalstacking are taken into account in their mode
In the present work an analytical model applicable to thedynamical analysis of rotating composite thin-walled shaftswith internal damping is proposedThismodel is based on thecomposite thin-walled beam theory referred to as variationalasymptotically method (VAM) by Berdichevsky et al [16]The internal damping of shaft is introduced via themultiscaledamping mechanics [17] The equations of motion of thecomposite shafts are derived by the principle of virtual workGalerkinrsquos method is used then to discretize and solve thegoverning equations The natural frequencies critical rotat-ing speeds and instability thresholds are obtained throughnumerical simulations The effect of the ply angle and aspectratio of cross-section are then assessed The validity of themodel is proved by comparing the results with those inliterature and convergence examination
2 Model of Composite Shaft
Consider the slender thin-walled composite shaft given inFigure 1The length of the shaft is denoted by119871 its thickness isdenoted by ℎ the radius of curvature of themiddle is denotedby 119903 and themaximum cross-sectional dimension is denotedby 119889 It is assumed that 119903 ≪ 119871 ℎ ≪ 119903 and the coordinate 120577 ismeasured along the normal to the middle surface within thelimits minusℎ2 ⩽ 120577 ⩽ ℎ2The shaft rotates about its longitudinal119909-axis at a constant rateΩ
21 The Displacement and Strain The components of thedisplacement along the Cartesian coordinate (119909 119910 119911) areexpressed as follows [16]
1199061(119909 119904) = 119906 (119909) minus 119910 (119904) V1015840 (119909) minus 119911 (119904) 119908
1015840(119909) + 119892 (119904 119909)
1199062(119909 119904) = V (119909) minus 119911 (119904) 120593 (119909)
1199063(119909 119904) = 119908 (119909) + 119910 (119904) 120593 (119909)

From (19) one can obtain the following complex eigen-value problem
det minus1205822 [M] + 119894120582 ([G] + [C]) + [K] = 0 (22)
Complex eigenvalue 120582 can be expressed in the form
120582 = 120590 + 119894120596 (23)
The damping natural frequency or whirl frequency of thesystem is the imaginary part 120596 whereas its real part 120590 givesthe decay or growth of the amplitude of vibration A negativevalue of 120590 indicates a stable motion whereas a positive valueindicates an unstable motion growing exponentially in time

3 Numerical Results
The numerical calculations are performed by considering theshaftmade of graphite-epoxywhose elastic characteristics arelisted in Table 1 The shaft has rectangular cross-section offixed geometrical characteristics width 119886 = 032m length119871 = 45952m andwall thickness ℎ = 001016mwhose layupis [120579]16with clamped-free boundary conditions
In order to examine the influence of the number of modeshape functions used in the solution of the equation onthe accuracy of the results the numerical results of naturalfrequency are shown in Tables 2 and 3 and modal dampingin Tables 4 and 5 for an increasing number of mode shapefunctions where 119871 119886 and 119887 are the length width andheight respectively From these tables it can be seen thatto obtain accurate results of the first two natural frequenciesand dampings no more than five mode shape functions arerequired This indicates clearly that the convergence of thepresent model is quite good
A comparison of predictions using the present modelwith those obtained in [18] is also shown in Tables 2 3 4 and5 A perfect agreement of numerical results with those in [18]can be seen

it can be seen because of the nonsymmetry of the shaft cross-section (119886119887 = 1) the standstill flexural frequencies about thetwo principal axes (flapping and sweeping denote bendingabout the 119910- and 119911-axis resp) are unequal The behaviors ofthe flapping and sweeping bending frequencies versus rotat-ing speed are very different In fact due to the existence of theCoriolis effect the coupling between flapping and sweepingbending is induced the first decreases until it becomes zerowhile the second continues to increase It is observed thatinstead of a rotating speed there is awhole domain of rotatingspeed in which the first flapping frequency does not existIn this domain the flapping frequency becomes imaginaryvalue implying that the shaft becomes unstableWhen the plyangle is decreased in addition to shift of instability domaintowards larger rotating speeds it is also observed that thedomain of instability is enlarged
Figure 3 shows the variation of the first two flexuraldampings versus rotating speed for various ply angles It canbe seen clearly that as the rotating speed is increased thedamping of flapping bending mode decreases and remainsnegative for all rotating speed so the flapping bending modeis stable From the results of Figure 3 it can be also observedthat the dampings corresponding to sweeping bending modeare negative at low rotating speed and increase with increas-ing rotating speed and at certain value of rotating speed thedampings vanish and then become positive Transformationof damping from a negative to a positive value marks theonset of unstable motion The rotating speed correspondingto zero damping is the threshold of instability of the shaftTheenclosed curves located nearby the threshold of instabilityrepresent that the real parts are conjugate Figure 3 also shows

Figure 13 The variation of thresholds of instability with ply anglefor various aspect ratios (extension-twist mode)
the natural frequencies critical rotating speeds and insta-bility thresholds Theoretical solutions of the free vibrationof the shaft were determined by applying Galerkinrsquos methodFrom the present analysis and the numerical results thefollowing main conclusions were drawn
(1) The developed model provides means of predictingthe natural frequencies critical rotating speeds andinstability thresholds of rotating composite thin-walled shafts with internal damping
(2) The ply angle and aspect ratio affect the vibrationaland instability behavior of shaft significantly
(3) There is an obvious increase in the critical rotatingspeeds and instability thresholds as aspect ratio isdecreased
(4) For the flexural mode critical rotating speed andthreshold of instability have their maximum valuesat 120579 = 0
∘ while for the extension-twist mode themaximum ones occur at 120579 = 45
∘(5) The onset of instability always occurs after the critical
rotating speed

From (19) one can obtain the following complex eigen-value problem
det minus1205822 [M] + 119894120582 ([G] + [C]) + [K] = 0 (22)
Complex eigenvalue 120582 can be expressed in the form
120582 = 120590 + 119894120596 (23)
The damping natural frequency or whirl frequency of thesystem is the imaginary part 120596 whereas its real part 120590 givesthe decay or growth of the amplitude of vibration A negativevalue of 120590 indicates a stable motion whereas a positive valueindicates an unstable motion growing exponentially in time

3 Numerical Results
The numerical calculations are performed by considering theshaftmade of graphite-epoxywhose elastic characteristics arelisted in Table 1 The shaft has rectangular cross-section offixed geometrical characteristics width 119886 = 032m length119871 = 45952m andwall thickness ℎ = 001016mwhose layupis [120579]16with clamped-free boundary conditions
In order to examine the influence of the number of modeshape functions used in the solution of the equation onthe accuracy of the results the numerical results of naturalfrequency are shown in Tables 2 and 3 and modal dampingin Tables 4 and 5 for an increasing number of mode shapefunctions where 119871 119886 and 119887 are the length width andheight respectively From these tables it can be seen thatto obtain accurate results of the first two natural frequenciesand dampings no more than five mode shape functions arerequired This indicates clearly that the convergence of thepresent model is quite good
A comparison of predictions using the present modelwith those obtained in [18] is also shown in Tables 2 3 4 and5 A perfect agreement of numerical results with those in [18]can be seen

it can be seen because of the nonsymmetry of the shaft cross-section (119886119887 = 1) the standstill flexural frequencies about thetwo principal axes (flapping and sweeping denote bendingabout the 119910- and 119911-axis resp) are unequal The behaviors ofthe flapping and sweeping bending frequencies versus rotat-ing speed are very different In fact due to the existence of theCoriolis effect the coupling between flapping and sweepingbending is induced the first decreases until it becomes zerowhile the second continues to increase It is observed thatinstead of a rotating speed there is awhole domain of rotatingspeed in which the first flapping frequency does not existIn this domain the flapping frequency becomes imaginaryvalue implying that the shaft becomes unstableWhen the plyangle is decreased in addition to shift of instability domaintowards larger rotating speeds it is also observed that thedomain of instability is enlarged
Figure 3 shows the variation of the first two flexuraldampings versus rotating speed for various ply angles It canbe seen clearly that as the rotating speed is increased thedamping of flapping bending mode decreases and remainsnegative for all rotating speed so the flapping bending modeis stable From the results of Figure 3 it can be also observedthat the dampings corresponding to sweeping bending modeare negative at low rotating speed and increase with increas-ing rotating speed and at certain value of rotating speed thedampings vanish and then become positive Transformationof damping from a negative to a positive value marks theonset of unstable motion The rotating speed correspondingto zero damping is the threshold of instability of the shaftTheenclosed curves located nearby the threshold of instabilityrepresent that the real parts are conjugate Figure 3 also shows

From (19) one can obtain the following complex eigen-value problem
det minus1205822 [M] + 119894120582 ([G] + [C]) + [K] = 0 (22)
Complex eigenvalue 120582 can be expressed in the form
120582 = 120590 + 119894120596 (23)
The damping natural frequency or whirl frequency of thesystem is the imaginary part 120596 whereas its real part 120590 givesthe decay or growth of the amplitude of vibration A negativevalue of 120590 indicates a stable motion whereas a positive valueindicates an unstable motion growing exponentially in time

3 Numerical Results
The numerical calculations are performed by considering theshaftmade of graphite-epoxywhose elastic characteristics arelisted in Table 1 The shaft has rectangular cross-section offixed geometrical characteristics width 119886 = 032m length119871 = 45952m andwall thickness ℎ = 001016mwhose layupis [120579]16with clamped-free boundary conditions
In order to examine the influence of the number of modeshape functions used in the solution of the equation onthe accuracy of the results the numerical results of naturalfrequency are shown in Tables 2 and 3 and modal dampingin Tables 4 and 5 for an increasing number of mode shapefunctions where 119871 119886 and 119887 are the length width andheight respectively From these tables it can be seen thatto obtain accurate results of the first two natural frequenciesand dampings no more than five mode shape functions arerequired This indicates clearly that the convergence of thepresent model is quite good
A comparison of predictions using the present modelwith those obtained in [18] is also shown in Tables 2 3 4 and5 A perfect agreement of numerical results with those in [18]can be seen

it can be seen because of the nonsymmetry of the shaft cross-section (119886119887 = 1) the standstill flexural frequencies about thetwo principal axes (flapping and sweeping denote bendingabout the 119910- and 119911-axis resp) are unequal The behaviors ofthe flapping and sweeping bending frequencies versus rotat-ing speed are very different In fact due to the existence of theCoriolis effect the coupling between flapping and sweepingbending is induced the first decreases until it becomes zerowhile the second continues to increase It is observed thatinstead of a rotating speed there is awhole domain of rotatingspeed in which the first flapping frequency does not existIn this domain the flapping frequency becomes imaginaryvalue implying that the shaft becomes unstableWhen the plyangle is decreased in addition to shift of instability domaintowards larger rotating speeds it is also observed that thedomain of instability is enlarged
Figure 3 shows the variation of the first two flexuraldampings versus rotating speed for various ply angles It canbe seen clearly that as the rotating speed is increased thedamping of flapping bending mode decreases and remainsnegative for all rotating speed so the flapping bending modeis stable From the results of Figure 3 it can be also observedthat the dampings corresponding to sweeping bending modeare negative at low rotating speed and increase with increas-ing rotating speed and at certain value of rotating speed thedampings vanish and then become positive Transformationof damping from a negative to a positive value marks theonset of unstable motion The rotating speed correspondingto zero damping is the threshold of instability of the shaftTheenclosed curves located nearby the threshold of instabilityrepresent that the real parts are conjugate Figure 3 also shows

From (19) one can obtain the following complex eigen-value problem
det minus1205822 [M] + 119894120582 ([G] + [C]) + [K] = 0 (22)
Complex eigenvalue 120582 can be expressed in the form
120582 = 120590 + 119894120596 (23)
The damping natural frequency or whirl frequency of thesystem is the imaginary part 120596 whereas its real part 120590 givesthe decay or growth of the amplitude of vibration A negativevalue of 120590 indicates a stable motion whereas a positive valueindicates an unstable motion growing exponentially in time

3 Numerical Results
The numerical calculations are performed by considering theshaftmade of graphite-epoxywhose elastic characteristics arelisted in Table 1 The shaft has rectangular cross-section offixed geometrical characteristics width 119886 = 032m length119871 = 45952m andwall thickness ℎ = 001016mwhose layupis [120579]16with clamped-free boundary conditions
In order to examine the influence of the number of modeshape functions used in the solution of the equation onthe accuracy of the results the numerical results of naturalfrequency are shown in Tables 2 and 3 and modal dampingin Tables 4 and 5 for an increasing number of mode shapefunctions where 119871 119886 and 119887 are the length width andheight respectively From these tables it can be seen thatto obtain accurate results of the first two natural frequenciesand dampings no more than five mode shape functions arerequired This indicates clearly that the convergence of thepresent model is quite good
A comparison of predictions using the present modelwith those obtained in [18] is also shown in Tables 2 3 4 and5 A perfect agreement of numerical results with those in [18]can be seen

it can be seen because of the nonsymmetry of the shaft cross-section (119886119887 = 1) the standstill flexural frequencies about thetwo principal axes (flapping and sweeping denote bendingabout the 119910- and 119911-axis resp) are unequal The behaviors ofthe flapping and sweeping bending frequencies versus rotat-ing speed are very different In fact due to the existence of theCoriolis effect the coupling between flapping and sweepingbending is induced the first decreases until it becomes zerowhile the second continues to increase It is observed thatinstead of a rotating speed there is awhole domain of rotatingspeed in which the first flapping frequency does not existIn this domain the flapping frequency becomes imaginaryvalue implying that the shaft becomes unstableWhen the plyangle is decreased in addition to shift of instability domaintowards larger rotating speeds it is also observed that thedomain of instability is enlarged
Figure 3 shows the variation of the first two flexuraldampings versus rotating speed for various ply angles It canbe seen clearly that as the rotating speed is increased thedamping of flapping bending mode decreases and remainsnegative for all rotating speed so the flapping bending modeis stable From the results of Figure 3 it can be also observedthat the dampings corresponding to sweeping bending modeare negative at low rotating speed and increase with increas-ing rotating speed and at certain value of rotating speed thedampings vanish and then become positive Transformationof damping from a negative to a positive value marks theonset of unstable motion The rotating speed correspondingto zero damping is the threshold of instability of the shaftTheenclosed curves located nearby the threshold of instabilityrepresent that the real parts are conjugate Figure 3 also shows

it can be seen because of the nonsymmetry of the shaft cross-section (119886119887 = 1) the standstill flexural frequencies about thetwo principal axes (flapping and sweeping denote bendingabout the 119910- and 119911-axis resp) are unequal The behaviors ofthe flapping and sweeping bending frequencies versus rotat-ing speed are very different In fact due to the existence of theCoriolis effect the coupling between flapping and sweepingbending is induced the first decreases until it becomes zerowhile the second continues to increase It is observed thatinstead of a rotating speed there is awhole domain of rotatingspeed in which the first flapping frequency does not existIn this domain the flapping frequency becomes imaginaryvalue implying that the shaft becomes unstableWhen the plyangle is decreased in addition to shift of instability domaintowards larger rotating speeds it is also observed that thedomain of instability is enlarged
Figure 3 shows the variation of the first two flexuraldampings versus rotating speed for various ply angles It canbe seen clearly that as the rotating speed is increased thedamping of flapping bending mode decreases and remainsnegative for all rotating speed so the flapping bending modeis stable From the results of Figure 3 it can be also observedthat the dampings corresponding to sweeping bending modeare negative at low rotating speed and increase with increas-ing rotating speed and at certain value of rotating speed thedampings vanish and then become positive Transformationof damping from a negative to a positive value marks theonset of unstable motion The rotating speed correspondingto zero damping is the threshold of instability of the shaftTheenclosed curves located nearby the threshold of instabilityrepresent that the real parts are conjugate Figure 3 also shows

Figure 13 The variation of thresholds of instability with ply anglefor various aspect ratios (extension-twist mode)
the natural frequencies critical rotating speeds and insta-bility thresholds Theoretical solutions of the free vibrationof the shaft were determined by applying Galerkinrsquos methodFrom the present analysis and the numerical results thefollowing main conclusions were drawn
(1) The developed model provides means of predictingthe natural frequencies critical rotating speeds andinstability thresholds of rotating composite thin-walled shafts with internal damping
(2) The ply angle and aspect ratio affect the vibrationaland instability behavior of shaft significantly
(3) There is an obvious increase in the critical rotatingspeeds and instability thresholds as aspect ratio isdecreased
(4) For the flexural mode critical rotating speed andthreshold of instability have their maximum valuesat 120579 = 0
∘ while for the extension-twist mode themaximum ones occur at 120579 = 45
∘(5) The onset of instability always occurs after the critical
rotating speed
