The analysis of the dynamic behaviour of rotating turbomachinery components is of relevant interest to avoid damages or fatigue problems in these parts. To determine the dynamic behaviour of a part of a structure it is necessary to perform an analysis of the free vibration of this part and a study of the excitation characteristic. The free vibration analysis (modal analysis) determines the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure. The excitation analysis gives the frequency content and the shape of the excitation. Hydraulic runners are very complex structures that are submerged and confined inside a casing. Particularly pump-turbine runners behave as disk-like structures at their first modes of vibration and they are excited wi...
