description Continuous rotor dynamics remains stagnant. In this paper, aim at multi-span and multi-disc rotor-bearing system, the continuous rotor dynamic analysis method (CRDAM) is proposed. The force acting on the shaft by the rotating eccentric disc is simulated as a point force. The counterforce of bearing is also considered as a point force. The shaft is considered free-ended. A continuous rotor dynamic model is obtained and an analytical solution is proposed to express the unbalance response as function of the position, unbalance, support stiffness and damping. The proposed method is validated by numerical experiments in which unbalance responses obtained by it are compared with that obtained by the two classical methods the finite element method (FEM) and Ricatti method. The results indicate that the proposed method is applicable to calculating unbalance response of multi-disc and multi-span rotor. Moreover, it is closer to FEM than Ricatti and can be applied to actual high speed rotors. Among the three methods, the calculating speed of Ricatti is the fastest, CRDAM is the second fastest and FEM is the slowest. The proposed method, which solves the forward problems of the continuous rotor dynamics for the multi-disc and multi-span rotors, can provide theoretical basis for further studies on inverse problems such as identification of rotor unbalance and bearing stiffness and damping coefficients without test runs and external excitations.
