The causative phenomena of subsynchronous vibration, or re-excitation of the critical speed of a rotor, are discussed. Two rotor systems designed to control this type of vibration are presented. One system employs tuned, oil film damper bearings while the other features a stiffened rotor geometry. Stability thresholds of each design are compared based on high-pressure closed loop testing.

An experiment rig was set up to simulate coupling faults with oil-film instability and local rub-impact. The collected vibration signals were roughly analyzed by 3-D waterfall spectra. In complicated frequency components domain, the vibration signals were analyzed with wavelet scalogram and reassigned wavelet scalogram. Results show that reassigned wavelet scalogram has higher time-frequency resolution than wavelet scalogram and can well identify such close low-frequency components. The analysis results also indicated rub-impact faults induced by oil-film instability can produce some low-frequency components with small amplitude and oil whip can produce half frequency component; rub-impact with a common extent exerts a light influence on rotor systems and nonlinear oil-film force plays a decisive role in rotor systems.

As the rotational speed of conventional rotor systems supported by oil-film bearings has increased, vibration problems such as oil whip and oil whirl have become apparent. Our group proposed the use of active magnetic bearings (AMBs)/bearingless motors (BELMs) to stabilize these systems. In such a system, measuring the variable stiffness and damping of the oil-film bearings, the current-force and displacement-force parameters of the AMBs/BELMs, and the residual unbalanced force is necessary to satisfy the stability of the rotor system. These parameters are the foundation for the rotor dynamics analysis and optimization of the control strategy. In this paper, we propose a method to simultaneously identify the parameters of the oil-film bearings and AMBs/BELMs along with the residual unbalanced forces during the unbalanced vibration of the rotor. The proposed method requires independent rotor responses and control currents to form a regression equation to estimate all the unknown parameters. Independent rotor responses are realized by changing the PID control parameters of the AMBs/BELMs. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed method is highly accurate and has good robustness to measurement noise. The experimental results show that the unknown parameters identified by the responses generated by different controller parameters are similar. To confirm that the identification results are correct, verification experiments were carried out. The vibration amplitude of the rotor was successfully suppressed by applying a force to the rotor in the opposite direction to the residual unbalanced force. The frequency response characteristics and unbalanced responses of the rotor estimated by the values of the parameters identified show good consistency with the measured results.
