In many cases of rotating systems, such as jet engines, two or more coaxial shafts are used for power transmission between a high/low-pressure turbine and a compressor. The major purpose of this study is to predict the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a coaxial rotor system supported by two active magnetic bearings (AMBs) and contact with two auxiliary bearings. The model of the system is formulated by ten degrees-of-freedom in two different planes. This model includes gyroscopic moments of disks and geometric coupling of the magnetic actuators. The nonlinear equations of motion are developed by the Lagrange's equations and solved using the Runge–Kutta method. The effects of speed parameter, speed ratio of shafts, and gravity parameter on the dynamic behavior of the coaxial rotor–AMB system are investigated by the dynamic trajectories, power spectra analysis, Poincaré maps, bifurcation diagrams, and the maximum Lyapunov exponent. Also, the contact forces between the inner shaft and auxiliary bearings are studied. The results indicate that the speed parameter, speed ratio of shafts, and gravity parameter have significant effects on the dynamic responses and can be used as effective control parameters for the coaxial rotor–AMB system. Also, the results of analysis reveal a variety of nonlinear dynamical behaviors such as periodic, quasi-periodic, period-4, and chaotic vibrations, as well as jump phenomena. The obtained results of this research can give some insight to engineers and researchers in designing and studying the coaxial rotor–AMB systems or some turbomachinery in the future.

Abstract Present research inspects the performance of rotor–bearing–coupling system in the presence of active magnetic bearings (AMBs). A methodology is suggested to quantify various fault characteristics along with AMB characteristic parameters of a coupled turbine generator system. A simplest possible turbogenerator system is modeled to analyze coupling misalignment. Conventional methodology to estimate dynamic system parameters based on forced response information is not enough for AMB-integrated rotor system because it requires current information along with displacement information. The controlling current of AMB is tuned and controlled with a controller of proportional–integral–derivative (PID) type. A numerical technique (Lagrange's equation) is applied to get equations of motion (EOM). Runge–Kutta technique is used to obtain EOM to acquire the time domain responses. The fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is applied on obtained responses to acquire responses in the frequency domain, and full spectrum technique is applied to propose the methodology. A methodology that depends on the least squares regression approach is proposed to evaluate the multifault parameters of AMB-integrated rotor system. The robustness of the algorithm is checked against various levels of noise and modeling error and observed efficient. An appreciable reduction in misalignment forces and moments is observed by using AMBs.

Abstract This paper focusses on analysing the vibration behaviour of a rigid rotor levitated by active magnetic bearings (AMB) under the influence of unbalance and misalignment parameters. Unbalance in rotor and misalignment between rotor and both supported AMBs are key fault parameters in the rotor system. To demonstrate this dynamic analysis, an unbalanced rigid rotor with a disc at the middle levitated by two misaligned active magnetic bearings has been mathematically modelled. One of the novel concepts is also described as how the force due to active magnetic bearings on the rigid rotor is modified when the rotor is parallel misaligned with AMBs. With inclusion of inertia force, unbalance force and force due to misaligned AMBs, the equations of motion of the rigid rotor system are derived and converted into dimensionless form in terms of various non-dimensional system and fault parameters. Numerical simulations have been performed to yield the dimensionless rotor displacement and controlling current responses at AMBs. The prime intention of the present paper is to study the effect on the displacement response of the rigid rotor system and the current consumption of AMBs for different ranges of disc eccentricities and rotor-AMB misalignments.

Abstract The dynamic analyses of rotating systems are always a testing task to obtain the definite results. This paper carries the dynamic modelling, analysis and identification of coupled flexible rotor system supported by an auxiliary Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs). An identification algorithm is used to estimate the dynamic parameters of AMB, and rotor residual mass imbalance. The proposed algorithm is a right method for the analysis of fully levitated rotor on AMBs. Finite element method is used to model the dynamic flexible rotor system with PID controller. A conventional dynamic condensation technique is implemented in the development of identification algorithm to overcome the difficulty in numerical simulation. The least-squares fit technique is deployed to estimate the dynamic parameters in frequency domain. Then the algorithm is extended to find the misalignment forces and moments at the coupling point. Numerical study is carried to check the correctness of the algorithm. The proposed algorithm is yet to be tested to experimental results from a fully levitated rotor test rig supported with AMBs.
