This work is focused on development of model for unbalanced rotor bearing system to predict system behaviour in dynamic environment. In this model, nonlinearity is introduced due to two factors, namely, clearance of bearing and localized bearing races defects. The contact between the races and balls is considered as Hertzian contact which results in nonlinear restoring force due to elastic deformation in contact zone. In the mathematical formulation, the shaft is considered as rotating Timoshenko beam, supported on two ball bearings. After modelling of shaft corresponding equations representing the system behaviour has been formulated. The governing equations of motion are solved by Sixth order Runge-Kutta method. Bifurcation plots have been plotted to understand the state of the system in healthy condition and due to localized defects on races of the bearings. The Frequency spectrum and phase trajectory diagrams are also plotted for better understanding of the system response.

Main Influence

The dynamic model of the three-span rotor-bearing system with rub-impact fault was set up. The influence to nonlinear dynamics behaviors of the rotor-bearing system that induced by rub-impact of one disc, two discs and three discs were numerically studied. The main influence of the rotor system response by the rub-impact faults are in the supercritical rotate speed. There are mutations of amplitudes in the responses of second and third spans in supercritical rotate speed when rub-impact with one disc, and there are chaotic windows in the response of first span, and jumping changes in second and third spans when rub-impact with two or three discs.

The vibration response of a rotor bearing system is extremely important in industries and is challenged by their highly non-linear and complex properties. This paper focuses on performance prediction using response surface method (RSM), which is essential to the design of high performance rotor bearing system. Response surface method is utilized to analysis the effects of design and operating parameters on the vibration response of a rotor-bearing system.

Distributed defects are considered as surface waviness of the bearing components. Effects of internal radial clearance and surface waviness of the bearing components and their interaction are analyzed using design of experiment (DOE) and RSM.

The gear mesh stiffnesses have been regarded as constants in most previous models of geared rotor-bearing systems. In this paper, a dynamic analysis of a spur geared rotor-bearing system with nonlinear gear mesh stiffness is presented. The nonlinear gear mesh stiffness is accounted for by bending, fillet-foundation and contact deflections of gear teeth. A finite element model of the geared rotor-bearing system is developed, the equations of motion are obtained by applying Lagrange’s equation, and the dynamic responses are computed by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical method. Numerical results indicate that the proposed gear mesh stiffness provides a realistic dynamic response for spur geared rotor-bearing system.

In this paper the nonlinear dynamic responses of a rigid rotor supported by ball bearings due to surface waviness of bearing races are analyzed. A mathematical formulation has been derived with consideration of the nonlinear springs and nonlinear damping at the contact points of rolling elements and races, whose stiffnesses are obtained by using Hertzian elastic contact deformation theory. The numerical integration technique Newmark-β with the Newton–Raphson method is used to solve the nonlinear differential equations, iteratively. The effect of bearing running surface waviness on the nonlinear vibrations of rotor bearing system is investigated. The results are mainly presented in time and frequency domains are shown in time-displacement, fast Fourier transformation, and Poincaré maps. The results predict discrete spectrum with specific frequency components for each order of waviness at the inner and outer races, also the excited frequency and waviness order relationships have been set up to prognosis the race defect on these bearing components. Numerical results obtained from the simulation are validated with respect to those of prior researchers.

Nonlinear dynamic characteristics of a rotor-bearing system with cubic nonlinearity are investigated. The comprehensive effects of the unbalanced excitation, the internal clearance, the nonlinear Hertzian contact force, the varying compliance vibration, and the nonlinear stiffness of support material are considered. The expression with the linear and the cubic nonlinear terms is adopted to characterize the synthetical nonlinearity of the rotor-bearing system. The effects of nonlinear stiffness, rotating speed, and mass eccentricity on the dynamic behaviors of the system are studied using the rotor trajectory diagrams, bifurcation diagrams, and Poincaré map. The complicated dynamic behaviors and types of routes to chaos are found, including the periodic doubling bifurcation, sudden transition, and quasiperiodic from periodic motion to chaos. The research results show that the system has complex nonlinear dynamic behaviors such as multiple period, paroxysmal bifurcation, inverse bifurcation, jumping phenomena, and chaos; the nonlinear characteristics of the system are significantly enhanced with the increase of the nonlinear stiffness, and the material with lower nonlinear stiffness is more conducive to the stable operation of the system. The research will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the nonlinear dynamics of the rotor-bearing system.

This paper provides a time transient method for solving coupled lateral and torsional analysis of a flexible rotor–bearing system including gyroscopic effects, nonlinear short journal bearings, nonlinear short squeeze film dampers (SFDs), and external nonlinear forces/torques. The rotor is modeled as linear, and the supporting components, including bearings and dampers, are modeled as nonlinear. An implicit Runge–Kutta method is developed to solve the nonlinear equations of motion with nonconstant operating speed since the unbalance force and the gyroscopic effect are related to both the rotational speed and the acceleration. The developed method is compared with a previous torsional analysis first to verify the nonlinear transient solver. Then the coupled lateral and torsional analysis of an example flexible three-disk rotor, perhaps representing a compressor, with nonlinear bearings and nonlinear dampers driven by a synchronous motor is approached. The acceleration effects on lateral and torsional amplitudes of vibration are presented in the analysis. The developed method can be used to study the rotor motion with nonconstant rotational speed such as during startup, shutdown, going through critical speeds, blade loss force, or other sudden loading.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a motorized spindle with externally pressurized air bearings. The externally pressurized air bearings consist of a journal bearing and a double pad thrust bearing with orifice restrictors. The equations of motion for the rotor-bearing system are established considering five degrees-of-freedom (DOF). The perturbation method and the finite difference method are introduced to calculate the static and dynamic characteristics of the air bearings; and the effects of the rotating speed and tilt angle of the rotor on the dynamic characteristics of the air bearings are analyzed. With the dynamic coefficients of the air bearings and the 5DOF rotor-dynamic model obtained, the stability, the unbalance response, and the forced response of the rotor-bearing system are investigated. Finally, the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle are verified by an experimental study.

AbstractHydrodynamic journal bearings are used in many applications which involve high speeds and loads. However, they are susceptible to oil whirl instability, which may cause bearing failure. In this work, a flexible Jeffcott rotor supported by two identical journal bearings is used to investigate the stability and bifurcations of rotor bearing system. Since a closed form for the finite bearing forces is not exist, nonlinear bearing stiffness and damping coefficients are used to represent the bearing forces. The bearing forces are approximated to the third order using Taylor expansion, and infinitesimal perturbation method is used to evaluate the nonlinear bearing coefficients. The mesh sensitivity on the bearing coefficients is investigated. Then, the equations of motion based on bearing coefficients are used to investigate the dynamics and stability of the rotor-bearing system. The effect of rotor stiffness ratio and applied load on the Hopf bifurcation stability and limit cycle continuation of the system are investigated. The results of this work show that evaluating the bearing forces using Taylor’s expansion up to the third-order bearing coefficients can be used to profoundly investigate the rich dynamics of rotor-bearing systems.

In the last few decades, intensive research has been carried out on viscoelastic materials. Among them, most importantly polymers and composites thereof find extensive applications in engineering structures and rotors primarily due to quite high strength to weight ratio in comparison with metals. In dynamic modeling of rotor bearing system, incorporation of damping is very important as stationary (external) damping always helps in stability, however rotary damping (internal) promotes instability of rotors above a certain speed. Therefore for modeling point of view, it is very important to consider both internal or external damping effect. For this reason, the dissipation mechanism has been handled in such a way that it provides proper forces irrespective of its presence in a stationary or a rotary frame. Also in present work, both classical method and operator multiplier method are suggested to derive the equations of motion. The analysis also shows the stability zones of the rotor bearing system for various parametric values of different viscoelastic supports. It is found that choosing a right viscoelastic support can increase the stability criteria of the system to some extent.
