Bearing System

An analytical study of the dynamic characteristics of a geared rotor-bearing system by the transfer matrix method is presented. Rotating shafts of the system are modeled as Timoshenko beams with effects of shear deformation and gyroscopic moment taken into account. The gear mesh is modeled as a pair of rigid disks connected by a spring-damper set along the pressure line and the transmission error is simulated by a displacement excitation at the mesh. The transfer matrix of a gear mesh is developed. The coupled lateral-torsional vibration of a geared rotor-bearing system is studied. Natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes, and whirl frequencies under different spin speeds are determined. In addition, steady-state responses due to the excitation of mass unbalance, geometric eccentricity and transmission error of gear mesh are obtained. Effect of the time-varying stiffness of the gear mesh is investigated.

A modified transfer matrix method (MTMM) is developed to analyze rotor-bearing systems with an asymmetric shaft and asymmetric disks. The rotating shaft is modeled by a Rayleigh-Euler beam considering the effects of the rotary inertia and gyroscopic moments. Specifically, a transfer matrix of the asymmetric shaft segments is derived in a continuous-system sense to give accurate solutions. The harmonic balance method is incorporated in the transfer matrix equations, so that steady-state responses of synchronous and superharmonic whirls can be determined. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

Abstract In this paper, an analytical study of the dynamic characteristics of geared rotor-bearing systems by the transfer matrix method is presented. Rotating shafts are modeled as Timoshenko beam with shear deformation and gyroscopic effects taken into account. The gear mesh is modeled as a pair of rigid disks connected by a spring-damper set and a transmission-error exciter. The transfer matrix of a gear mesh is developed. The coupling motions of the lateral and torsional vibration are studied. In free vibration analysis of geared rotor systems, natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes, and the whirl frequencies under different spin speeds are determined. Effects of bearing stiffness, isotropic and orthotropic bearings, pressure angle of the gear mesh are studied. In steady-state vibration analysis, responses due to the excitation of mass unbalance and the transmission error are studied. Parametric characteristics of geared rotor systems are discussed.

The steady-state responses of linear flexible rotor-bearing systems are analyzed by the modified transfer matrix method. The transfer matrix has the advantage of solving the problems in frequency domain with fixed matrix size. This makes the method more economical in analyzing a large degree-of-freedom rotor system than many time-marching integrating methods. In this paper, the modifications of transfer matrix method include that the transfer matrix of shaft is derived from the “continuous system” concept instead of conventional “lumped system” concept, and the paper tries to extend the transfer matrix method to fit synchronous elliptical orbit and nonsynchronous multi-lobed whirling orbit. To demonstrate the applications of the method, three examples are presented; two synchronous and one nonsynchronous.

State Responses

A general transfer matrix method (GTMM) is developed in the present work for analyzing the steady-state responses of rotor-bearing systems with an unbalancing shaft. Specifically, we derived the transfer matrix of shaft segments by considering the state variables of shaft in a continuous system sense to give the most general formulation. The shaft unbalance, axial force, and axial torque are all taken into consideration so that the completeness of transfer matrix method for steady-state analysis of linear rotor-bearing systems is reached. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, a numerical example is presented to estimate the effect of three-dimensional distribution of shaft unbalance on the steady-state responses by GTMM and finite element method (FEM).

Rotor Bearing

An improved transfer matrix method is developed to analyze nonlinear rotor-bearing systems. The rotating shaft is described by the Timoshenko beam theory which considers the effect of the rotary inertia and shear deformation. A typical roller bearing model is assumed which has cubic nonlinear spring and linear damping characteristics. Transfer matrices for the Timoshenko shaft element, disk element, and nonlinear bearing element are derived and the global transfer matrix is formed. The steady-state response of synchronous, subharmonic, and superharmonic whirls is determined using the harmonic balance method. Two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

Rotor Bearing

The transfer matrix method together with a digital computer form the foundation of the dynamic analysis of rotor-bearing systems. The properties of each segment of the rotating shaft are expressed in simple matrix form and the overall dynamic behaviour is then obtained by successive multiplication of the element matrices. The main drawback associated with this method is the numerical instability in calculating natural frequencies for complex systems. The finite element method, on the other hand, uses the element stiffness and mass matrices to form the global equation of motion for the complete system. This avoids the numerical problems of the transfer matrix method at the expense of the computer memory requirements. The new method described in this paper combines the transfer matrix and finite element techniques to form a powerful algorithm for vibration analysis of rotor-bearing systems. It is shown that the accuracy improves significantly when the transfer matrix for each shaft segment is obtained from finite element techniques. The accuracy and efficiency of the hybrid method are compared with the transfer matrix method for a simply supported uniform rotating shaft where an analytical solution for the critical speeds and mode shapes is available. The method is then applied to a flexibly supported uniform shaft and a non-uniform shaft with a large disc to show the capability of the method for finding the critical speeds of complex rotor-bearing systems.
