Abstract In Part 1 of this paper, a theoretical model to determine the dynamic behaviour of misaligned shaft rotors connected by a flexible coupling was developed. In this Part 2, experimental tests are performed to validate the model and simulation results obtained in Part 1. Vibratory characterist...
