The vibration characteristics of rotating machinery are directly related withits condition such as rotor types, thereby it should be acquired the information fromthe vibration signal so that operating conditions may be rationally decided.Accordingly, the study is to focus on developing the analysis for identifying theoperational feature of rotor systems. For this purpose the complex frequencyanalysis for identification, which utilizes the directionaI spectrum for effectiveidentification of rotor systems, is introduced. From this proposed method, theanalysis of dynamic model of the rotors is performed including the stabilitybehavior of the general rotor by Ftoquet theory. Through this process theexcitation methodology to identify the types of rotors is investigated and theeffective way to identification is also suggested.
