The stability and bifurcation of a flexible 3D rotor system are investigated in this paper. The rotor is discretized by 3D elements and reduced by using component mode synthesis. Periodic motions and stability margins are obtained by using the shooting method and path-following technique, and the local stability of the periodic motions is determined by using the Floquet theory. Comparisons indicate that 3D and 1D systems have a general resemblance in the bifurcation characteristics while mass eccentricity and rotating speed are changed. For both systems, the orbit size of the periodic motions has the same order of magnitude, and the vibration response has identical frequency components when typical bifurcations occur. The stress distribution and location of the maximum stress spot are determined by the bending mode of the rotor. The type of 3D element has a slight effect on the stability and bifurcation of the rotor system. Generally, this paper presents a feasible method for analyzing the stability and bifurcation of complex rotors without much structural simplification.

This paper is concerned with the effect of a thrust active magnetic bearing (TAMB) on the stability and bifurcation of an active magnetic bearing rotor system (AMBRS). The shaft is flexible and modeled by using the finite element method that can take the effects of inertia and shear into consideration. The model is reduced by a component mode synthesis method, which can conveniently account for nonlinear magnetic forces and moments of the bearing. Then the system equations are obtained by combining the equations of the reduced mechanical system and the equations of the decentralized PID controllers. This study focuses on the influence of nonlinearities on the stability and bifurcation of T periodic motion of the AMBRS subjected to the influences of both journal and thrust active magnetic bearings and mass eccentricity simultaneously. In the stability analysis, only periodic motion is investigated. The periodic motions and their stability margins are obtained by using shooting method and path-following technique. The local stability and bifurcation behaviors of periodic motions are obtained by using Floquet theory. The results indicate that the TAMB and mass eccentricity have great influence on nonlinear stability and bifurcation of the T periodic motion of system, cause the spillover of system nonlinear dynamics and degradation of stability and bifurcation of T periodic motion. Therefore, sufficient attention should be paid to these factors in the analysis and design of a flexible rotor system equipped with both journal and thrust magnetic bearings in order to ensure system reliability.

Abstract This paper investigates stable and unstable period-1 motions in a rotor system through the discrete mapping method. The discrete mapping of a nonlinear rotor system is for stable and unstable period-1 motions. The stability and bifurcation of periodic motions are determined. Numerical simulations of periodic motions are completed and phase trajectories, displacement orbits and velocity plane are illustrated. The period-1 motion near the internal resonance is determined with large vibration in the nonlinear rotor system.

This paper is concerned the stability and bifurcation of a flexible rod-fastening rotor bearing system (FRRBS). Here the shaft is considered as an integral or continuous structure and be modeled by using Timoshenko beam-shaft element which can take the effects of axial load into consideration. And using Hamilton’s principle, model tie rods distributed along the circumference as a constant stiffness matrix and an add-moment which caused by unbalanced pre-tightening forces. Then the model is reduced by a component mode synthesis method, which can conveniently account for nonlinear oil film forces of the bearing. This study focuses on the influence of nonlinearities on the stability and bifurcation of T periodic motion of the FRRBS subjected to the influence of mass eccentricity. The periodic motions and their stability margin are obtained by shooting method and path-following technique. The local stability and bifurcation behaviors of periodic motions are obtained by Floquet theory. The results indicate that mass eccentricity and unbalanced pre-tightening forces of tie rods have great influence on nonlinear stability and bifurcation of the T periodic motion of system, cause the spillover of system nonlinear dynamics and degradation of stability and bifurcation of T periodic motion.

This article is concerned with the effect of nonlinearities on the stability and bifurcation of a flexible rotor system subjected to the influences of thrust bearing and mass eccentricity. The shaft is modeled by using the finite element method and then the model is reduced by a component mode synthesis method which can account for nonlinear forces and moment of the bearing. The periodic motions and their stability margins are obtained by using shooting method and path-following technique. The numerical results indicate that thrust bearing and mass eccentricity have great influence on stability and bifurcation of the motion of system. Thrust bearing can postpone the bifurcation of the periodic motion of system, heighten the critical speed and the stability threshold speed, and lower the resonant amplitude of the rotor.

In this paper, the analytical dynamics for singularity, switchability, and bifurcations of a 2-DOF friction-induced oscillator is investigated. The analytical conditions of the domain flow switchability at the boundaries and edges are developed from the theory of discontinuous dynamical systems, and the switchability conditions of boundary flows from domain and edge flows are presented. From the singularity and switchability of flow to the boundary, grazing, sliding and edge bifurcations are obtained. For a better understanding of the motion complexity of such a frictional oscillator, switching sets and mappings are introduced, and mapping structures for periodic motions are adopted. Using an eigenvalue analysis, the stability and bifurcation analysis of periodic motions in the friction-induced system is carried out. Analytical predictions and parameter maps of periodic motions are performed. Illustrations of periodic motions and the analytical conditions are completed. The analytical conditions and methodology can be applied to the multi-degrees-of-freedom frictional oscillators in the same fashion.

Dynamic model and equation of a nonlinear flexible rotor-bearing system are established based on rotor dynamics. A local iteration method consisting of improved Wilson-θ method, predictor-corrector mechanism and Newton-Raphson method is proposed to calculate nonlinear dynamic responses. By the proposed method, the iterations are only executed on nonlinear degrees of freedom. The proposed method has higher efficiency than Runge-Kutta method, so the proposed method improves calculation efficiency and saves computing cost greatly. Taking the system parameter ‘s’ of flexible rotor as the control parameter, nonlinear dynamic responses of rotor system are obtained by the proposed method. The stability and bifurcation type of periodic responses are determined by Floquet theory and a Poincaré map. The numerical results reveal periodic, quasi-periodic, period-5, jump solutions of rich and complex nonlinear behaviors of the system.

In this paper, the stability and bifurcation of periodic motions in periodically forced oscillator with multiple discontinuities is investigated. The generic mappings are introduced for the analytical prediction of periodic motions. Owing to the multiple discontinuous boundaries, the mapping structures for periodic motions are very complicated, which causes more difficulty to obtain periodic motions in such a dynamical system. The analytical prediction of complex periodic motions is carried out and verified numerically, and the corresponding stability and bifurcation analysis are performed. Due to page limitation, grazing and stick motions and chaos in this system will be investigated further.

From the viewpoint of nonlinear dynamics, the stability and bifurcation of the rotor dynamical system supported in gas bearings are investigated. First, the dynamical model of gas bearing-Jeffcott rotor system is given, and the finite element method is used to approach the unsteady Reynolds equation in order to obtain gas film forces. Then, the method for stability analysis of the unbalance response of the rotor system is developed in combination with the Newmark-based direct integral method and Floquet theory. Finally, a numerical example is presented, and the complex behaviors of the nonlinear dynamical system are simulated numerically, including the trajectory of the journal and phase portrait. In particular, the stabilities of the system’s equilibrium position and unbalance responses are studied via the orbit diagram, phase space, Poincaré mapping, bifurcation diagram, and power spectrum. The results show that the numerical method for solving the unsteady Reynolds equation is efficient, and there exist a rich variety of nonlinear phenomena in the system. The half-speed whirl encountered in practice is the result from Hopf bifurcation of equilibrium, and the numerical method presented is available for the stability and bifurcation analysis of the complicated gas film-rotor dynamic system.
