This paper presents a method for quickly evaluating the effect of changes in bearing location on bearing design for stability of rotating machinery. This method is intended for use by rotating machinery designers to select the “best” bearing locations prior to the bearing design process. The purpose of the method is to improve the design process by separating the problem of determining the “best” bearing locations from that of determining the actual bearing design. The method is independent of the type of bearing employed. For each candidate bearing configuration, the method provides a scalar measure of the relative ability of bearings to meet stability specifications. Within certain limits, the stability specifications are defined by the designer. The scalar measure is used to rank the candidate bearing locations and thereby select the best one. The scalar measure is compared to a practical measure of magnetic bearing design such as the infinity norm of the controller for an example design of a multi-stage centrifugal compressor.

Flywheel Rotor

In the high-speed, gyroscopic effects of the flywheel rotor greatly influence the rotor stability. The pole-zero points move to right of s-plane and the damping terms of the pole points become smaller. The stability of the system will get worse with the increasing of rotor speed when the traditional decentralized PD controller is used only. In the paper, a cross-feedback control with decentralized PD control is used for compensating gyroscopic effect. The simulation results show that the system stability is better using the cross-feedback control with decentralized PD control than using the traditional decentralized PD control.

Cross Waves

Luke's (1967) variational formulation for surface waves is extended to incorporate the motion of a wavemaker and applied to the cross-wave problem. Whitham's average-Lagrangian method then is invoked to obtain the evolution equations for the slowly varying complex amplitude of the parametrically excited cross-wave that is associated with symmetric excitation of standing waves in a rectangular tank of width π/k, length l and depth d for which kl = O(1) and kd [Gt ] 1. These evolution equations are Hamiltonian and isomorphic to those for parametric excitation of surface waves in a cylinder that is subjected to a vertical oscillation, for which phase-plane trajectories, stability criteria and the effects of damping are known (Miles 1984a). The formulation and results differ from those of Garrett (1970) in consequence of his linearization of the boundary condition at the wavemaker and his neglect of self-interaction of the cross-waves in the free-surface conditions (although Garrett does incorporate self-interaction in his calculation of the equilibrium amplitude of the cross-waves). These differences have only a small effect on the criterion for the stability of plane waves, but the self-interaction is crucial for the determination of the stability of the cross-waves.

Gyroscopic Effects

Dynamic stability is investigated for a mechanical seal configuration in which both seal elements are flexibly mounted to independently rotating shafts. The analysis is applicable to systems with both counterrotating and corotating shafts. The fluid film effects are modeled using rotor dynamic coefficients, and the equations of motion are presented including the dynamic properties of the flexible support. A closed-form solution for the stability criteria is presented for the simplifled case in which the support damping is neglected. A method is presented for obtaining the stability threshold of the general case, including support damping. This method allows instant determination of the stability threshold for a fully-defined seal design. A parametric study of an example seal is presented to illustrate the method and to examine the effects of various parameters in the seal design upon the stability threshold. The fluid film properties in the example seal are shown to affect stability much more than the support properties. Rotors having the form of short disks are shown to benefit from gyroscopic effects which give them a larger range of stable operating speeds than long rotors. For seals with one long rotor, counterrotating operation is shown to be superior because the increased fluid stiffness transfers restoring moments from the short rotor to the long.

The Stability

In this paper, the energy exponent is used to study the instability of parametrically excited systems governed by the damped Mathieu equation. Through the numerical tests, an energy-growth exponent (EGE) is adopted to evaluate the instability intensity and instability boundary of the system. The EGE can be expressed as a product of the modal frequency and a dimensionless coefficient, defined as the energy-growth coefficient (EGC). Based on the Floquet theory, the relationship between the EGE, Floquet exponent and Lyapunov exponent are derived. An energy criterion of parametric instability is proposed by using the EGE. Using a simple pendulum as an example, the geometric characteristics of the EGC are investigated, and approximate analytical formulae of the EGC/EGE for three different unstable patterns are developed. The EGC/EGE formulae are applicable to the parametrically excited systems governed by the damped Mathieu equation. The unstable behaviors and properties of parametric vibrations are analyzed and discussed in details with EGE/EGC for three systems including a triple pendulum, two-dimensional sloshing fluid, and a two-span continuous beam. The stability boundaries established by using EGE/EGC agree well with those by the conventional theory and experiment. As a practical tool, the EGE/EGC formulae can be easily applied to analyzing the unstable intensities and boundaries of the parametrically excited systems.

The Stability

On the basis of the linearized fluid forces acting on the rotor obtained directly by using the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, the stability of symmetrical rotors with a cylindrical chamber partially filled with a viscous incompressible fluid is investigated in this paper. The effects of the parameters of rotor system, such as external damping ratio, fluid fill ratio, Reynolds number and mass ratio, on the unstable regions are analyzed. It is shown that for the stability analysis of fluid filled rotor systems with external damping, the effect of the fluid viscosity on the stability should be considered. When the fluid viscosity is included, the adding external damping will make the system more stable and two unstable regions may exist even if rotors are isotropic in some casIs.

Abstract The stability behavior of a cantilevered shaft, rotating at a constant speed and subjected to a follower force at the free end, is studied by the finite element method. The equations of motion for such a gyroscopic system are formulated by using deformation shape functions developed from Timoshenko beam theory. The effects of translational and rotatory inertia, gyroscopic moments, bending and shear deformations are included. In order to determine the critical load of the present nonconservative system more quickly and efficiently, a simple and direct method that utilizes the eigenvalue sensitivity with respect to the follower force is introduced. The numerical results show that for the present nonconservative system, the onset of flutter instability occurs when the first and second backward whirl speeds are coincident. And also, due to the effect of the gyroscopic moments, the critical flutter load decreases as the rotational speed increases.
