Multiple freedom degrees model of rotor-bearing system taking many factors into account is established, the Newmark-β and shooting method are combined during the stability analysis of periodic motion in such system. The paper focused on the influence law of two eccentric phase difference on the instability speed of rotor-bearing system. The results have shown that the instability speed rises constantly with the eccentric phase difference angle increasing in small eccentricity system. When the two unbalance be in opposite direction, the system reached its maximum instability speed. However, the unstable bifurcation generates mutation phenomenon for large eccentricity system with the eccentric phase difference angle increasing. In summary, the larger initial phase angle can inhibit system instability partly. The conclusions have provided a theoretical reference for vibration control and stability design of the more complex rotor-bearing system.

Multi-DOF model of double-disc rotor-bearing system taking crack and oil film support into account is established, and the continuation shooting method combined with Newmark is also applied to stability analysis of continuous system. This paper mainly studied the variation law of five parameters domain in crack depth and location, then a number of conclusions are found: first, it’s feasible to study the stability of nonlinear rotor-bearing system with crack faults using FEM; secondly, the crack depth and location has a certain impact on instability speed, but the impact is not great and owns its certain law. As the crack depth and location is getting close to the middle position of rotor, due to its impact on the oil film support, the instability speed of system increases. This method and results in this paper provides a theoretical reference for stability analysis and vibration control in more complex relevant rotor-bearing system with crack fault.

A rotor supported by fluid dynamic bearings (FDBs) has a whirling motion by centrifugal force due to the mass unbalance or by the flexibility of shaft. This whirling motion also generates periodic time-varying oil-film reaction and dynamic coefficients even in case of the stationary grooved FDBs. This paper proposes a method to determine the stability of a whirling rotor supported by stationary grooved FDBs considering five degrees of freedom of a general rotor-bearing system. Dynamic coefficients are calculated by using the finite element method and the perturbation method, and they are represented as periodic harmonic functions by considering whirling motion. Because of the periodic time-varying dynamic coefficients, the equations of motion of the rotor supported by FDBs can be represented as a parametrically excited system. The solution of the equations of motion can be assumed as the Fourier series so that the equations of motion can be rewritten as simultaneous algebraic equations with respect to the Fourier coefficients. Hill’s infinite determinant is calculated by using these algebraic equations in order to determine the stability. The stability of the FDBs decreases with the increase of rotational speed. The stability of the FDBs increases with the increase of whirl radius, because the average and variation of Cxx increase faster than those of Kxx. The proposed method is verified by solving the equations of motion by using the forth Runge-Kutta method to determine the convergence and divergence of whirl radius.

The dynamic model of nonlinear stiffness rotor-bearing system with pedestal looseness fault was set up, taking the linearity and cube item as the physics nonlinear factors. The periodic solution of system was analyzed by continuation-shooting algorithm for periodic solution of nonlinear non-autonomous system, and the stability of system periodic motion and unsteady law are discussed by Floquet theory. The unstable form of it is Hopf bifurcation. In the region of critical rotate speed, the main motion of the system is periodic-4; and it of ultra critical rotate speed, the main motion of the system is periodic-3 and chaotic motion. The conclusions provide theoretic basis reference for the fault diagnosis of the rotor-bearing system.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of turbulence on the stability characteristics of finite hydrodynamic journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid. Design/methodology/approach The non-dimensional transient Reynolds equation has been solved to obtain the non-dimensional pressure field which in turn used to obtain the load carrying capacity of the bearing. The second-order equations of motion applicable for journal bearing system have been solved using fourth-order Runge–Kutta method to obtain the stability characteristics. Findings It has been observed that turbulence has adverse effect on stability and the whirl ratio at laminar flow condition has the lowest value. Practical implications The paper provides the stability characteristics of the finite journal bearing lubricated with micropolar fluid operating in turbulent regime which is very common in practical applications. Originality/value Non-linear stability analysis of micropolar fluid lubricated journal bearing operating in turbulent regime has not been reported in literatures so far. This paper is an effort to address the problem of non-linear stability of journal bearings under micropolar lubrication with turbulent effect. The results obtained provide useful information for designing the journal bearing system for high speed applications.
