Operating of rotating machinery with a rotor crack is a risk condition, since the rotor crack grows gradually and may fail causing a catastrophic accident. Therefore, it is very important to detect the occurrence of a crack on rotating machinery in early stages. The authors have used the simple two-degree-of-freedom cracked rotor model, and investigated the usage of periodic excitation for the detection of the rotor crack. This paper constructs a finite element rotor model with breathing crack element, and performs the numerical investigation. The dynamic responses of a cracked rotor system under applied periodical external excitation are investigated. The occurrences of various kinds of nonlinear sub-resonances are observed numerically, and the dynamical characteristics of these sub-resonances are clarified. The influences of the position and depth of the crack are clarified. Furthermore, these sub-resonances due to crack are observed in the experiment. This result made us enable to detect the occurrence of a rotor crack.

Rotor Model

A new rotor model is developed in this paper to explore the dynamic coupling effect of roll-yaw motion. The rotor model employs a 6 degree-of-freedom Jeffcott rotor with a breathing crack. Based on the energy method and Lagrange principle, equation of motion is derived in yawing coordinate system with consideration of unbalance mass. The breathing crack model is established by Zero Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) method based on the crack released strain energy concept in fracture mechanics. SIF method is used to determine the crack closure line by computing SIF for opening mode. The vibration responses of the cracked rotor system are solved by Gear’s method. The coupling effect of yawing and rolling motion is studied in this paper to investigate vibration response of cracked rotor system. With the yawing motion, the dynamics of the rotor-bearing system is changed by additional stiffness and force terms. The parametric study is conducted to analyze the effect of yawing rate and acceleration on the crack breathing behavior. Finally, the vibration responses of the nominal and damaged rotor systems are analyzed to find out the indication for the damage detection and health monitoring.

Cracked Rotor System

The rubbing phenomenon occurs when a rotating element eventually hits a stationary part of the rotating machinery. Increasing the rotor speed and decreasing the radial clearance between the rotating and the non-rotating parts can enhance the performance of the rotating machinery. This leads to an increased risk of rubbing contact. Rotor rubbing is the source of numerous different phenomena, for example sub- and super-harmonic vibrations, amplitude jumps and rotor instability. So the reliability analysis and sensitivity analysis of rotor system with rubbing is important for design purposes. Reliability analysis can help the designer to establish acceptable tolerance on rotor system. Sensitivity analysis can help the designer to know which problem in rotor system with rubbing is being solved and how the solution may affect the design of rotor system for system correction and reanalysis. On the basis of the dynamic equations of the cracked rotor system model and with consideration of the random parameters including shaft stiffness and damping, disk damping, radial clearance and stator radial stiffness, the random responses of cracked rotor system are researched. The reliability and sensitivity analysis of the cracked rotor system with rubbing are studied. According to the discretization of random process and stress-strength interference theory, the transient reliability model of cracked rotor system with rubbing is proposed. The reliability for rubbing in cracked rotor system is obtained by way of statistical fourth moment method, Edgeworth series technique and first passage theory. Numerical results are also presented and discussed.

Cracked Rotor System

The modeling of a cracked rotor system with an open or breathing transverse crack is addressed here. The cracked rotor with an open crack model behaves as an asymmetric shaft. Hence, the time-varying area moments of inertia of the cracked section are employed in formulating the periodic finite element stiffness matrix for both crack models which yields a linear time-periodic system. The harmonic balance method (HB) is used in solving the finite element (FE) equations of motions for studying the dynamic behavior of the cracked rotor system. The unique behavior of the whirl orbits during the passage through the subcritical rotational speeds and the sensitivity of these orbits to the unbalance force direction can be used for early crack detection of the cracked rotor for both crack models. These whirl orbits were verified experimentally for the open crack model in the neighborhood of 1/2 of the first critical rotational speed where a good match with the theoretical whirl orbits was observed.

Rotor Model

The application of the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method to the vibration response of a cracked Jeffcott rotor model is investigated here. The covariance matrices of horizontal and vertical whirl amplitudes are formulated based on the numerical integration response and the experimental whirl response, respectively, for the considered cracked rotor system. Accordingly, the POD is directly applied to the obtained covariance matrices of the numerical and experimental whirl amplitudes where the proper orthogonal values (POVs) and the proper orthogonal modes (POMs) are obtained for various crack depths, unbalance force vector angles and rotational speeds. It is observed that both POVs and their corresponding POMs are highly sensitive to the appearance of the crack and the unbalance angle changes at the neighborhoods of the critical. The sensitivity zones of the POVs and POMs to the crack propagation coincide with the unstable zones of the cracked system obtained by Floquets theory.

This paper investigates numerically the nonlinear response of a simple cracked rotor in moving supports, as may occur in aircraft rotors when the aircraft is maneuvering with constant velocity or acceleration. Of particular interest is the influence of the aircraft climb angle. Results show that the climb angle can markedly affect the parameter range for which the system is stable; and over which there results bifurcation, quasi-periodic response or chaotic response. It is shown that aircraft acceleration can also significantly affect the nonlinear behavior of the cracked rotor system, illustrating the possibility for online rotor crack fault diagnosis.

Considering a rotor system with a slant crack, and using an equivalent line-spring model to simulate the slant crack of the rotor, the flexibility model of the slant-cracked rotor is derived. Then considered the geometric non-linearity and based on the Lagrange equations, the non-linear dimensionless differential equations of motion for the slant-cracked rotor are obtained. Further the non-linear dynamic responses of the single rotor system with a slant crack are discussed by the Galerkin method and the harmonic balance method. It’s detailedly studied that the angle, the depth and the position of the slant crack on the rotor all affect on the non-linear dynamic responses of the rotor system, and the conclusion is very significant to the design of the rotor system in the practical reference aspect.
