Abstract In many cases, ships will encounter special conditions, such as bad sea conditions, and the effect of various disturbance factors, such as wind and waves, will cause low-frequency longitudinal and transverse rocking motion of ships. This would affect the rotor-bearing system of the power plant, which is directly attached to the hull of the ship, and would roll along with the hull in the same longitudinal and transverse motion. This will have a significant impact on the stability of the rotor bearing system of the ship power plant and the safety of the ship. In this paper, a rotor-bearing test rig is mounted on a multi-degree-of-freedom swing test rig simulating sea conditions. The multi-degree-of-freedom rocking test bed simulates sea conditions. The rotor-bearing test bed is equipped with an eddy current sensor and an acceleration sensor to obtain experimental data. The programmable loader is used to control the rotor speed so as to carry out the experiment process at different speeds. Finally, the dynamic characteristics of rotor-bearing system under swinging condition are obtained.

The test rig of two-span rotor-bearing system with rub-impact and crack faults was constructed. The vibration of the rotor-bearing system was observed for different conditions, such as single rub-impact fault, double rub-impact faults and coupling faults of rubbing and crack. The 3D-waterfall spectrum of rotor system was used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the system during faults. The results indicate there appears 6-superharmonic frequency component on double rub-impact faults. The amplitudes of subharmonic frequencies decrease obviously and it of superharmonic frequencies increases on coupling faults of rubbing and crack, and the superharmonic frequency components are different obviously in different span.

Purpose This study aims to study the dynamic characteristics of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts. Design/methodology/approach A finite element model of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts is developed, in which the rotating shafts of the system are composed of composite material and modeled as Timoshenko beam; a rigid mass is used to represent the gear and their gyroscopic effect is taken into account; bearings are modeled as linear spring-damper; and the equations of motion are obtained by applying Lagrange’s equation. Natural frequencies, mode description, lateral responses, axial responses, lamination angles, lamination numbers, gear mesh stiffness and bearing damping coefficients are investigated. Findings The desired mechanical properties could be constructed using different lamination numbers and fiber included angles by composite rotating shafts. The frequency of the lateral module decreases as the included angle of the fibers and the principal shaft of the composite material rotating shaft increase. Because of the gear mesh stiffness increase, the resonance frequency of the coupling module of the system decreases, the lateral module is not influenced and the steady-state response decreases. The amplitude of the steady-state lateral and axial responses gradually decreases as the bearing damping coefficient increases. Practical implications The model of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts is established in this paper. The dynamic characteristics of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite rotating shafts are investigated. The numerical results of this study can be used as a reference for subsequent personnel research. Originality/value The dynamic characteristics of the geared rotor-bearing system had been reported in some literature. However, the dynamic analysis of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts is still rarely investigated. This paper shows some novel results of lateral and axial response results obtained by different lamination angles and different lamination numbers. In the future, it makes valuable contributions for further development of dynamic analysis of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts.

Rotor rub-impact has a great influence on the stability and safety of a rotating machine. This study develops a dynamic model of a two-span rotor-bearing system with rubbing faults, and numerical simulation is carried out. Moreover, frictional screws are used to simulate a rubbing state by establishing a set of experimental devices that can simulate rotor-stator friction in the rotor system. Through the experimental platform and its analysis system, the rubbing experiment was conducted, and the vibration of the rotor-bearing system before and after the critical speed is observed. Rotors running under normal condition, local slight rubbing, and severe rubbing throughout the entire cycle are simulated. Dynamic trajectories, frequency spectrum diagrams, chart of axis track, and Poincare maps are used to analyze the features of the rotor-bearing system with rub-impact faults under various parameters. The vibration characteristics of rub impact are obtained. Results show that the dynamic characteristics of the rotor-bearing system are affected by the change in velocity and degree of impact friction. The findings are helpful in further understanding the dynamic characteristics of the rub-impact fault of the two-span rotor-bearing system and provide reference for fault diagnosis.

Many rotor assemblies of industrial turbomachines are supported by oil-lubricated bearings. It is well known that the operation safety of these machines is highly dependent on rotors whose stability is closely related to the whirling motion of lubricant oil. In this paper, the problem of transverse motion of rotor systems considering bearing nonlinearity is revisited. A symmetric, rigid Jeffcott rotor is modeled considering unbalanced mass and short bearing forces. A semi-analytical, seminumerical approach is presented based on the generalized harmonic balance method (GHBM) and the Newton–Raphson iteration scheme. The external load of the system is decomposed into a Fourier series with multiple harmonic loads. The amplitude and phase with respect to each harmonic load are solved iteratively. The stability of the motion response is analyzed through identification of eigenvalues at the fixed point mapped from the linearized system using harmonic amplitudes. The solutions of the present approach are compared to those from time-domain numerical integrations using the Runge–Kutta method, and they are found to be in good agreement for stable periodic motions. It is revealed through bifurcation analysis that evolution of the motion in the nonlinear rotor-bearing system is complicated. The Hopf bifurcation (HB) of synchronous vibration initiates oil whirl with varying mass eccentricity. The onset of oil whip is identified when the saddle-node bifurcation of subsynchronous vibration takes place at the critical value of parameter.

Purpose This study aims to obtain the dynamic behaviours of cracked rod-fastening rotor bearing system (RFBS), and experimental investigation was carried out to examine the dynamic characteristics of this kind of assembled rotor bearing system with a transverse crack passing through the critical speed. Design/methodology/approach An experimental test rig of cracked RFBS was established for examining the vibration behaviours between intact and cracked system. The crack on the surface of a fastening rod was simulated by wire-electrode cutting processing method. The comprehensive analysis method of vibration was used to obtain the dynamic characteristics such as vibration amplitude, acceleration and whirling orbits before and after the critical speed as well as the instantaneous response in the process of speed up. Findings Some experimental vibration datum is obtained for cracked RFBS. The appearance of a crack will introduce the initial bending and make the vibration amplitude, acceleration and instant response in the process of speed up increase greatly as well as the change of whirling orbits. Originality/value The actual vibration characteristics for this complex assembled rotor system with a transverse crack are given passing through the critical speed. It can provide some useful help for monitoring the vibration behaviours of this kind of assembled rotor system as well as the detection of the crack fault.
