Abstract: The present work investigates the transient and steady state behavior of an internally damped coaxial-rotor system (CRS) subjected to synchronous mass-imbalance. A mathematical model has been developed using a finite-element method incorporating rotary and shear inertia effects with detailed intershaft bearing modeling. The system equations expressed in state-space form are solved using the Modified Euler's method for transient analysis. Notable findings include the identification of two backward and two forward whirl frequencies within the rotational speed range of 0–12000 RPM. Further, it is concluded that internal damping significantly affects the CRS stability as destabilization was found to occurs above 8371 RPM. Maximum steady-state amplitudes of vibration are obtained at Bearing-4 and Disk-3, with magnitudes of 1.6 mm and 1.3 mm, respectively. Besides, during run-ups, changes in angular acceleration from 150 to 300 rads−2 lead to a substantial reduction of 22.23%, 22.4%, 21.53% and 21.5% in peak transient response at Disk-1, Disk-2, Disk-3 and Disk-4, respectively. Notably, the transient response along the two mutually perpendicular lateral directions (x and y) at disk locations and intershaft bearing is found to be nearly identical because of inherent symmetry and isotropic stiffness and damping properties.
