In this paper, the rotating flexible-Timoshenko-shaft/flexible-disk coupling system is formulated by introducing the kinetic and strain energies, and the virtual work done by the eddy-current brake system into Hamilton’s principle. The attachment of disk to shaft becomes flexible for Timoshenko-beam theory and rigid for Euler-beam theory. It is found that the eddy-current brake system can be used to decrease speed and suppress flexible and shear vibrations simultaneously. From the dynamic formulations and energy analysis, some important discussions are made. Numerical results are provided to validate the theoretical analysis. [S0739-3717(00)01504-X]
