In order to improve the thrust-weight ratio, modern aeroengines generally adopt a coaxial dual-rotor system. Factors such as manufacturing errors, assembly errors, bearing wear, and structural deformation can cause misalignment failures in a dual-rotor system. Supporting misalignment is one of the common types of misalignments in a dual-rotor system. To analyze the vibration characteristics of misalignment faults, in this study, we aim to build a finite element model of a dual-rotor system with supporting misalignment. The bearing loads caused by supporting misalignment are calculated using the three-bending moment equation method. Bearing loads are introduced into the dynamic model of the dual-rotor system. The influence of supporting misalignment at different bearings on the dynamic characteristics of the rotor system is investigated based on the supporting misalignment model. Studies have shown that supporting misalignment at different bearings has similar effects on the dynamic characteristics of the dual-rotor system. The proposed supporting misalignment model is more adaptable than the coupling misalignment model. It indicates that the damping of a rolling bearing should be considered in the dynamic analysis of a dual-rotor system although the value of the damping is not large. An experimental analysis is carried out. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract Labyrinth seals are widely used to prevent fluid leakage in high-low pressure areas of the rotating machinery. However, the rub-impact fault easily occurs in labyrinth seals. Considering the influence of gyroscopic effect, a finite element model of seal-rubbing rotor system is established in this study based on the Muszynska seal force model, the rolling bearing force model and the nonlinear rubbing force model. The vibration characteristics under the coupling faults of airflow excitation and rub-impact are analyzed. Firstly, the response of the system without rub-impact fault is numerically simulated and verified by experiments. Subsequently, the dynamic characteristics of the rotor under the conditions of slight rub-impact and severe rub-impact faults are analyzed. Finally, the influence of the rub-impact parameters is further studied. The results indicate that when the rub-impact fault is absent, airflow excitation occurs at a certain speed, which exhibits the characteristics of frequency locking and combination frequency. The coupling dynamic responses of airflow-induced vibration and rub-impact fault show a rich spectrum of nonlinear phenomena, which is closely related to the degree of rub-impact. This study may provide a theoretical basis for the detection and diagnosis of fluid-induced rub-impact fault in labyrinth seal-rotor systems.

Abstract The rotor misalignment fault, which occurs only second to unbalance, easily occurs in the practical rotating machinery system. Rotor misalignment can be further divided into coupling misalignment and bearing misalignment. However, most of the existing references only analyze the effect of coupling misalignment on the dynamic characteristics of the rotor system, and ignore the change of bearing excitation caused by misalignment. Based on the above limitations, a five degrees of freedom nonlinear restoring force mathematical model is proposed, considering misalignment of bearing rings and clearance of cage pockets. The finite element model of the rotor is established based on the Timoshenko beam element theory. The coupling misalignment excitation force and rotor unbalance force are introduced. Finally, the dynamic model of the ball bearing-coupling-rotor system is established. The radial and axial vibration responses of the system under misalignment fault are analyzed by simulation. The results show that the bearing misalignment significantly influences the dynamic characteristics of the system in the low-speed range, so bearing misalignment should not be ignored in modeling. With the increase of rotating speed, rotor unbalance and coupling misalignment have a greater impact. Misalignment causes periodic changes in bearing contact angle, radial clearance, and ball rotational speed. It also leads to reciprocating impact and collision between the ball and cage. In addition, misalignment increases the critical speed and the axial vibration of the system. The results can provide a basis for health monitoring and misalignment fault diagnosis of the rolling bearing-rotor system.

Rub-impact fault model for dual-rotor system was further developed, in which rubbing board is regarded as elastic sheet. Sheet elastic deformation, contact penetration, and elastic damping support during rubbing of sheet and wheel disk were considered. Collision force and friction were calculated by utilizing Hertz contact theory and Coulomb model and introducing nonlinear spring damping model and friction coefficient. Then kinetic differential equations of rub-impact under dry rubbing condition were established. Based on one-dimensional finite element model of dual-rotor system, dynamic transient response of overall structure under rub-impact existing between rotor wheel and sheet was obtained. Meanwhile, fault dynamic characteristics and impact of rubbing clearance on rotor vibration were analyzed. The results show that, during the process of rub-impact, the spectrums of rotor vibration are complicated and multiple combined frequency components of inner and outer rotor fundamental frequencies are typical characteristic of rub-impact fault for dual-rotor system. It also can be seen from rotor vibration response that the rubbing rotor’s fundamental frequency is modulated by normal rotor double frequency.

Cantilevered shaft-rotor systems consisting of multi disks and multi profiled shafts are considered. In this paper the procedures for the determination of the deflection, slope, shear force and bending moment at the extremities of the shaft are employed. Critical speeds or whirling frequency conditions are computed using transfer matrix method (TMM). For particular shaft-lengths, rotating speeds and shaft-profiles, the response of the system is determined for the establishment of the dynamic characteristics. A built-in shaft-rotor system consisting of two disks and two different profiled shafts is investigated for illustration purposes. Step response of the multi profiled shaft-rotor system is also found out.

This paper presents a finite element model of a rotor system with pedestal looseness stemming from a loosened bolt and analyzes the effects of the looseness parameters on its dynamic characteristics. When the displacement of the pedestal is less than or equal to the looseness clearance, the motion of the rotor varies from period-one through period-two and period-three to period-five with the decreasing of stiffness of the non-loosened bolts. The similar bifurcation phenomenon can be also observed during the increasing process of the rotational speed. But the rotor motion is from period-six through period-three to period-four with the decreasing of the foundation stiffness. When the stiffness of the foundation is small and the displacement of pedestal is greater than the looseness clearance, the response of the rotor exhibits period-one and high order harmonic components with the decreasing of looseness clearance, such as 2X, 3X etc. However, when the stiffness of the foundation is great, the spectrum of the response of the rotor will be from combined frequency components to the continuous spectrum with the decreasing of the looseness clearance.

The shafting of large steam turbine generator set is composed of several rotors which are connected by couplings. The computing method of shafting with different structure under specific installation requirement is studied in this paper. Based on three-moment equation, shafting alignment mathematical model is established. The computing method of bearing elevations and loads under corresponding installation requirements, where bending moment of each coupling is zero and there exist preset sag and gap in some couplings, is proposed, respectively. Bearing elevations and loads of shafting with different structure under specific installation requirement are calculated; calculation results are compared with installation data measured on site which verifies the validity and accuracy of the proposed shafting alignment computing method. The above work provides a reliable approach to analyze shafting alignment and could guide installation on site.

Abstract With the increasing requirements of aeroengine performance and working stability, the primary research task of the rotor system dynamics is to build a rotor system model that can reflect the actual situation and obtain the calculation results which can reflect the real dynamic characteristics of the rotor system. In this paper, the finite element analysis model of a power turbine rotor was established, and the dynamic model and dynamic characteristics of the complex rotor system were studied. The results indicated that the finite element model could reflect the real dynamic characteristics of the power turbine rotor. For the given design rotational speed, the critical speed had enough margin and the rotor system worked safely and smoothly. This research provided a reference and theoretical basis for the calculation of the dynamic characteristics of the similar rotor system.

The magnetic suspended dual-rotor system (MSDS) can effectively increase the thrust weight ratio of aeroengines. However, the MSDS dynamic characteristics have rarely been investigated. In this research, a MSDS with the outer rotor supported by two active magnetic bearings (AMBs) is designed, and the PID control is employed. The Riccati transfer matrix method using complex variables is adopted to establish the MSDS dynamic model. Subsequently, the influences of AMBs’ control parameters on the MSDS dynamic characteristics are explored. According to the analysis, two rigid mode shapes remain unchanged with the variation of the relationship between their corresponding damped critical speeds (DCSs). Moreover, the rigid DCSs disappear with large derivative coefficient. Eventually, the validity of the dynamic model and the appearance of rigid DCSs are verified.

This paper focuses on the effects of the off-design operation of CAES on the dynamic characteristics of the triple-gear-rotor system. A finite element model of the system is set up with unbalanced excitations, torque load excitations, and backlash which lead to variations of tooth contact status. An experiment is carried out to verify the accuracy of the mathematical model. The results show that when the system is subjected to large-scale torque load lifting at a high rotating speed, it has two stages of relatively strong periodicity when the torque load is light, and of chaotic when the torque load is heavy, with the transition between the two states being relatively quick and violent. The analysis of the three-dimensional acceleration spectrum and the meshing force shows that the variation in the meshing state and the fluctuation of the meshing force is the basic reasons for the variation in the system response with the torque load. In addition, the three rotors in the triple-gear-rotor system studied show a strong similarity in the meshing states and meshing force fluctuations, which result in the similarity in the dynamic responses of the three rotors.
