Abstract In this paper, an efficient numerical method consisting of the real mode component mode synthesis (CMS) model reduction, shooting method with parallel computing, and Floquet analysis was developed for nonlinear rotordynamics analysis of a flexible rotor supported by a 4-lobe flexure pivot tilting pad journal bearing (FPTPJB) in load-on-pad (LOP) and load-between-pad (LBP) orientations in comparison to a fixed profile journal bearing (JB) of the same pad geometry. The method used the rotor's finite elements and bearing forces obtained from directly solving the Reynolds equation to determine the limit cycles and Hopf bifurcation types. For the investigated rotor and bearing parameters, the numerical results indicated that the onset speed of instability (OSI) of FPTPJB is considerably higher than that of JB of the same orientation. Also, FPTPJB in LOP orientation yielded higher OSI than the LBP one, whereas the OSI of JB in LOP orientation was substantially higher than the LBP counterpart. Nonlinear calculation results indicated that all bearing types and orientations gave subcritical Hopf bifurcation. The FPTPJB in LOP orientation produced the largest stable operating region, whereas the JB in LBP configuration yield the smallest one. The experiment showed subcritical Hopf bifurcation occurred at speed close to the calculated OSI in all cases except FPTPJB in LOP orientation that the OSI is higher than the maximum test rig speed. The whirling orbit had the same frequency as the first critical speed and precessed in the direction of shaft rotation.

This paper presents an evaluation of various rotordynamic parameters at commercial vehicle turbochargers, which are operated supercritically in full-floating hydrodynamic journal bearing systems. The evaluation is conducted by using an experimental approach to determine the performance of the rotor-bearing-system in a real-life assembly at a hot gas test bench. This takes support stiffness, external heating and the excitation by seals, thrust bearings and gas forces into account, while Engine-specific excitation is not present. The system’s ability to carry additional unbalance load at different oil support pressures without the occurrence of mixed friction throughout a complete run-up is assessed. By executing this assessment for multiple assemblies with different bearings, rotors and oil types, the influence of main design and boundary parameters on the effective journal bearing performance of turbochargers is quantified.

Bearing System

To determine the bifurcation types in a rotor-bearing system, it is required to find higher order derivatives of the bearing forces with respect to journal velocity and position. As closed-form expressions for journal bearing force are not generally available, Hopf bifurcation studies of rotor-bearing systems have been limited to simple geometries and cavitation models. To solve this problem, an alternative nonlinear coefficient-based method for representing the bearing force is presented in this study. A flexible rotor-bearing system is presented for which bearing force is modeled with linear and nonlinear dynamic coefficients. The proposed nonlinear coefficient-based model was found to be successful in predicting the bifurcation types of the system as well as predicting the system dynamics and trajectories at spin speeds below and above the threshold speed of instability.
