“…The model of the long elastic element, based on the ordinary differential equations, corresponds with a multi-mass lumped parameter model, e.g., in [2,12,13], especially the two-mass model, e.g., in [6,8,14], which does not guarantee the accurate results of numerical analysis. The equations included in the multi-mass model are usually solved using numerical integration.Research on stresses and oscillations of long drive shafts using various methods of analysis is undertaken in the literature [15][16][17][18]. In [18], the author presents a mechanical analysis of the propeller shaft on a warship in the event of a variable moment of shaft load.…”
