Nonlinear Vibration Characteristics With Large Unbalance of Turbogenerators Rotor Systems
Abstract Some catastrophic vibration failures of turbogenerators shaft system have occurred in China and abroad. But, since the researches on nonlinear vibration characteristics of real engineering rotor-bearing system were not thoroughgoing in the past years, so the accurate and quantity analysis on particular accidents is still impossible. However, to understand the nonlinear vibration characteristics with large unbalance is engineering important for accident analysis, investigation and for precautions against the failures. This paper employed a new transfer matrix-time marching approach, and made researches on calculation for nonlinear vibration caused by large vibration at the generator rotor and low pressure rotor of 200MW turbogenerators made in China. By this study, some new and important conclusions concerned transient process while much mass escaped from turbogenerators rotor at operation condition have been obtained. They can provide valuable suggestions to the accident analysis, the design of large turbogenerators shaft and operation technology of the power plants, and these conclusions will be the foundation for the further researches on the destruction mechanism of turbogenerators forced by nonlinear vibration.
