A numerical-analytical method for estimating steady-state periodic behavior of nonlinear rotordynamic systems is presented. Based on a finite element formulation in the time domain, this method transforms the nonlinear differential equations governing the motion of large rotor dynamic systems with nonlinear supports into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations with unknown temporal nodal displacements. A procedure is proposed to reduce the resulting problem to solving nonlinear algebraic equations in terms of the coordinates associated with the nonlinear supports only. The result is a simple and efficient approach for predicting all possible fundamental and sub-harmonic responses. Stability of the periodic response is readily determined by a direct use of Floquet’s theory. The feasibility and advantages of the proposed method are illustrated with two examples of rotor-bearing systems of deadband supports and squeeze film dampers, respectively.

A new quantitative method of estimating steady state periodic behavior in nonlinear systems, based on the trigonometric collocation method, is outlined. A procedure is developed to analyze large rotor dynamic systems with nonlinear supports by the use of the above method in conjunction with Component Mode Synthesis. The algorithm discussed is seen to reduce the original problem to solving nonlinear algebraic equations in terms of only the coordinates associated with the nonlinear supports and is a big improvement over commonly used integration methods. The feasibility and advantages of the procedure so developed are illustrated with the help of an example of a typical rotor dynamic system with an uncentered squeeze film damper. Future work on the investigation of the stability of the periodic response so obtained is outlined.

Abstract A new method for analyzing periodic response of rotor dynamic system with nonlinear supports is presented in this paper. Based on a finite element formulation in the time domain, this method transforms nonlinear differential equations governing the dynamic behavior of rotor-bearing system into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations that can be reduced and calculated by the characteristic set of Wu elimination method. The analytic solution of the nodal displacement has been obtained finally. According to this result the behavior of periodic response is analyzed. The feasibility and advantage of the proposed method are illustrated with an example of flexible Jeffcott rotor-bearing system with nonlinear supports.

A numerical-analytical method for the prediction of steady state periodic response of large order nonlinear rotordynamic systems is addressed. Using this method, the set of nonlinear differential equations governing the motion of the rotor systems is transformed to a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. A condensation technique is proposed to reduce the nonlinear algebraic equations to those only related to the physical coordinates associated with nonlinear components. The method allows for the inclusion of searching for sub, super, ultra-sub and ultra-super harmonic components of the system response. Furthermore it can be used to locate limit cycles of an autonomous system. Three examples are employed to demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the present method.

In the present work we considered the solution of one periodic optimal regulated boundary value problem by the asymptotic method. For the solution of the problem with extended functional writing, boundary conditions and Euler-Lagrange equations were found. The approach to the solution of the problem depending on a small parameter by seeking a system of nonlinear differential equations and solving Euler-Lagrange equations, the solution of the general problem in the first approach comes down to solving two nonlinear algebraic equations.

Dealing with practical control systems, it is equally important to establish the controllability of the system under study and to find corresponding control functions explicitly. The most challenging problem in this path is the rigorous analysis of the state constraints, which can be especially sophisticated in the case of nonlinear systems. However, some heuristic considerations related to physical, mechanical, or other aspects of the problem may allow coming up with specific hierarchic controls containing a set of free parameters. Such an approach allows reducing the computational complexity of the problem by reducing the nonlinear state constraints to nonlinear algebraic equations with respect to the free parameters. This paper is devoted to heuristic determination of control functions providing exact and approximate controllability of dynamic systems with nonlinear state constraints. Using the recently developed approach based on Green’s function method, the controllability analysis of nonlinear dynamic systems, in general, is reduced to nonlinear integral constraints with respect to the control function. We construct parametric families of control functions having certain physical meanings, which reduce the nonlinear integral constraints to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. Regimes such as time-harmonic, switching, impulsive, and optimal stopping ones are considered. Two concrete examples arising from engineering help to reveal advantages and drawbacks of the technique.

Squeeze film dampers are commonly applied to high speed rotating machinery, such as aircraft engines, to reduce vibration problems. The theory of hydrodynamic lubrication has been used for the design and modeling of dampers in rotor dynamic systems despite typical modified Reynolds numbers in applications between ten and fifty. Lubrication theory is strictly valid for Reynolds numbers much less than one, which means that fluid viscous forces are much greater than inertia forces. Theoretical papers which account for fluid inertia in squeeze films have predicted large discrepancies from lubrication theory, but these results have not found wide acceptance by workers in the gas turbine industry. Recently, experimental results on the behavior of rotor dynamic systems have been reported which strongly support the existence of large fluid inertia forces. In the present paper direct measurements of damper forces are presented for the first time. Reynolds numbers up to ten are obtained at eccentricity ratios 0.2 and 0.5. Lubrication theory underpredicts the measured forces by up to a factor of two (100% error). Qualitative agreement is found with predictions of earlier improved theories which include fluid inertia forces.

The study of eccentric squeeze film damped rotor dynamic systems has largely concentrated on rigid rotors. In this paper, a newly developed receptance harmonic balance method is used to efficiently analyze a squeeze film damped flexible rotor test rig. The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of damper static eccentricity and unbalance level on cavitation and its resulting effect on the vibration level. By comparing predictions for the rotor vibration levels obtained respectively with, and without, lower pressure limits for the eccentric squeeze film damper model, it is demonstrated that cavitation is promoted by increasing static eccentricity and/or unbalance level. This, in turn, is found to have a profound effect on the predictions for the critical vibration levels, which such dampers are designed to attenuate. The reported findings are backed by experimental evidence from the test rig.
