Rigid rotor dynamic model is widely used to model rotating machinery. In this paper, a speed-varying transient rigid rotor model is developed in the state space form. The states of this model are augmented to include imbalance forces and moments. A time-varying observer can then be designed for the augmented system by using canonical transformation. After obtaining an estimation of the imbalance forces and moments as the states of the augmented system, the estimated imbalance can be directly calculated. This estimation method can be used in the active vibration control or active balancing schemes for a rigid rotor.
