Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior

The aim of this research is to study the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a flexible shaft supported by smart hydrostatic squeeze film dampers, which are filled with a negative electrorheological fluid (NERF). A nonlinear model of the hydrostatic squeeze film damper has been developed in order to study the effect of the electrorheological fluid on the dynamic behavior of a flexible shaft. The results obtained are discussed and compared with the linear model, which is restricted to only small vibrations around the equilibrium position. A new smart hydrostatic squeeze film damper is proposed to reduce the transient response of the shaft and transmitted forces by applying an electric field to the NER fluid, which results in modifying its viscosity. The results show that it is possible to effectively monitor the electric field and the viscosity of the fluid inside the hydrostatic squeeze film dampers (HSFD) for a better control of flexible shaft vibration and bearing transmitted forces.

Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior

An investigation is carried out the analysis of nonlinear dynamic behavior on effects of rub-impact caused by oil-rupture in a multi-shafts turbine system with a squeeze film damper. Main components of a multi-shafts turbine system includes an outer shaft, an inner shaft, an impeller shaft, ball bearings and a squeeze film damper. In the squeeze film damper, oil forces can be derived from the short bearing approximation and cavitated film assumption. The system equations of motion are formulated by the global assumed mode method (GAMM) and Lagrange’s approach. The nonlinear behavior of a multi-shafts turbine system which includes the trajectories in time domain, frequency spectra, Poincaré maps, and bifurcation diagrams are investigated. Numerical results show that large vibration amplitude is observed in steady state at rotating speed ratio adjacent to the first natural frequency when there is no squeeze film damper. The nonlinear dynamic behavior of a multi-shafts turbine system goes in its way into aperiodic motion due to oil-rupture and it is unlike the usual way (1T = >2T = >4T = >8T etc) as compared to one shaft rotor system. The typical routes of bifurcation to aperiodic motion are observed in a multi-shafts turbine rotor system and they suddenly turn into aperiodic motion from the periodic motion without any transition. Consequently, the increasing of geometric or oil parameters such as clearance or lubricant viscosity will improve the performance of SFD bearing.

Bearing System

Rigid rotor roller bearing system displays complicated nonlinear dynamic behavior due to nonlinear Hertzian force of bearing. Nonlinear bearing forces of roller bearing and dynamic equations of rotor bearing system are established. The bifurcation and stability of the periodic motion of the system in radial clearance-rotating speed and ellipticity-rotating speed parametric domains are studied by use of continuation-shooting algorithm for periodic solutions of nonlinear non-autonomous dynamics system. Results show that the parameters of rotor bearing system should be designed carefully in order to obtain period-1 motion.

Current trends for advanced automotive engines focusing on downsizing, better fuel efficiency, and lower emissions have led to several changes in turbocharger bearing system design and technology. Automotive turbochargers run faster and use engine oils with very low viscosity under high oil inlet temperature and low feed pressure. The development of high performing bearing systems, marrying innovation with reliability, is a persistent challenge. This paper shows progress on the nonlinear dynamic behavior modeling of the rotor-radial bearing system (RBS) incorporating two oil films in series: a hydrodynamic one with a squeeze film damper commonly used in turbochargers. The developed fluid bearing code predicts bearing rotational speed (in the case of fully floating design), operating inner and outer bearing film clearances, effective oil viscosity, taking into account its shear effect, and hydrostatic load. A rotordynamics code uses this input to predict the nonlinear lateral dynamic response of the rotor-bearing system. The model predictions are validated with test data acquired on a high speed turbocharger RBS of a 6.0 mm journal diameter running up to 250,000 rpm (maximum speed), 5W30 oil type, 150°C oil inlet temperature, and 4 bar oil feed pressure. The tests are conducted at a rotordynamics technology laboratory using a high performance data acquisition system. Turbochargers with four combinations of inner and outer RBS clearances are tested. Prediction and measured synchronous response and total motion are in good agreement. Both demonstrate the nonlinear character of the RBS behavior, including several subsynchronous frequency components across the operating speed range. The nonlinear predictive model aids the development of high performance and optimized turbocharger RBS with faster development cycle times and increased reliability.

This study addresses the nonlinear dynamic behavior of O-ring seals as the centering spring in squeeze film dampers. An analytical model is developed to predict the restoring and hysteresis characteristics of elastomer O-rings and extends the existing models to non-axisymmetric load conditions. Also, the inclusion of axial seals increases the damping capacity of squeeze film dampers. O-rings forces are investigated for different sizes, installation preloads, and operating conditions and contrasted with squeeze film damper’s hydrodynamic forces. This model is incorporated in linear and time transient rotordynamic analyses of a vertical turbocharger. It is shown that the O-rings contribution in rotor response for low rotational speeds and low amplitude vibrations is dominant and can not be ignored.
