A direct numerical method for the determination of instability threshold and stability boundaries of flexible rotor-bearing systems is presented. The proposed procedure can also be used to improve the system stability by considering the design variables as operating parameters. The finite element method is utilized in the formulation of system equations of motion. The numerical algorithm is based on nonlinear optimization techniques. Two examples are presented to illustrate the feasibility, desirability, and ability of the proposed algorithm. A simple journal bearing system is used for the parametric study. An industrial high-speed compressor is employed to demonstrate the ability of this algorithm to deal with practical applications. The stability boundaries calculated from this algorithm are in agreement with the experimental results.

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.

High velocity and stability are the development trend and inevitable requirement, but the clearance would make the stability of mechanical system deceased, especially in high speed. To the folder mechanism with clearances in high velocity, combined with the definition of sensitivity and the kinematics analysis, the kinematics sensitivity analysis model is derived by the matrix analysis method. Through the sensitivity analysis model, it can be easy to get the relationship of the design variables and the mechanism’s robustness, which provides the base to design the folder mechanism in high velocity.

Multibody dynamics analysis is advantageous in that it uses real dimensions and design parameters. In this study, the stability analysis of a railway vehicle based on multibody dynamics analysis is presented. The equations for the contact points and contact forces between the wheel and the rail are derived using a wheelset model. The dynamics equations of the wheelset are combined with the dynamics equations of the other parts of the railway vehicle, which are obtained by general multibody dynamics analysis. The equations of motion of the railway vehicle are linearized by using the perturbation method. The eigenvalues of these linear dynamics equations are calculated and the critical speed is found.

The stability of the high-speed running vehicle subjected to seismic excitations considering passengers' dynamics are considered. A vehicle consists of one body, two trucks and four wheel sets. A passenger is modeled by simple two degree of freedom vibration system. The equations of motion of the vehicle and passengers are calculated by Lagrangian equation of motion. Combining two models, the behavior of the vehicle subjected to actual seismic input considering passengers' dynamics are calculated by numerical simulation. The stability of the vehicle is evaluated by using the risk rate of rollover. We investigate the possibility of the rollover of the vehicle. We focus on the effect of the dynamic characteristics of the human and the number of the passengers when the vehicle is subjected to the seismic excitation.

An analysis of the steady state and dynamic characteristics of floating ring journal bearings has been performed. The stability characteristics of the bearing, based on linear theory, are given. The transient problem, in which the equations of motion for the bearing system are integrated in real time was studied. The effect of using finite bearing theory rather than the short bearing assumption was examined. Among the significant findings of this study is the existence of limit cycles in the regions of instability predicted by linear theory. Such results explain the superior stability characteristics of the floating ring bearing in high speed applications. An understanding of this nonlinear behavior, serves as the basis for new and rational criteria for the design of floating ring bearings.

The phenomenon of oil-film whirl in bearings subjected to steady external loads is analyzed. The journal, assumed to be a particle mass, is subjected to the action of two forces; namely, the external load acting on the bearing and the hydrodynamic force developed in the fluid film. The resulting equations of motion for a full-film bearing and a 180-deg partial-film bearing are developed as pairs of second-order nonlinear differential equations. In evaluating the hydrodynamic force, the contribution of the shear stress on the journal surface is found to be negligible for the full-film bearing, whereas for the partial-film bearing it is found to be significant at small attitude values. The equations of motion are linearized and the coefficients of the resulting characteristic equations are studied for the stability of the static-equilibrium positions. The full-film bearing is found to have no stable static-equilibrium position, whereas the 180-deg partial-film bearing is found to have stable static-equilibrium positions under certain parametric conditions. The equations of motion for the full-film bearing are integrated numerically on a digital computer. The results show that the journal center, depending on the parametric conditions, acquired either an orbital motion or a dynamical path of increasing attitude terminating in bearing failure.

Because of the high speed, strong coupling between aerodynamics and propulsion system, complex environmental conditions and new propulsion system, the airbreathing hypersonic vehicles have a complex dynamics characteristic. This paper use the generic hypersonic vehicle model (CSULA-GHV) to research this issue. The nonlinear longitudinal equations of motion are linearized based on the assumption of little perturbation. Analyze the dynamic characteristic on a feature point selected. The results show that, the stability of this model is poor. It has to design an efficient controller to adjust the poor stability.

This paper evaluates the stability of the single mass rotor with internal friction on damped, anisotropic supports. The paper shows under what conditions the rotor stability may be improved by an undamped support with anisotropic stiffness properties. A three dimensional model is presented to show the influence of rotor and support stiffness characteristics on stability. Curves are also presented on how support damping may also improve or even reduce rotor stability. An analog computer solution of the governing equations of motion is presented showing the shaft transient motion for various speed ranges, and also plots of the rotor steady state motion are given for various speeds up to and including the stability threshold. The analysis is used to explain many of the experimental observations of B. L. Newkirk concerning stability due to internal rotor friction.

We present a single-input single-output multimode delayed-feedback control methodology to mitigate the free vibrations of a flexible cantilever beam. For the purpose of controller design and stability analysis, we consider a reduced-order model consisting of the first n vibration modes. The temporal variation of these modes is represented by a set of nonlinearly-coupled ordinary-differential equations that capture the evolving dynamics of the beam. Considering a linearized version of these equations, we derive a set of analytical conditions that are solved numerically to assess the stability of the closed-loop system. To verify these conditions, we characterize the stability boundaries using the first two vibration modes and compare them to damping contours obtained by long-time integration of the full nonlinear equations of motion. Simulations show excellent agreement between both approaches. We analyze the effect of the size and location of the piezoelectric patch and the location of the sensor on the stability of the response. We show that the stability boundaries are highly dependent on these parameters. Finally, we implement the controller on a cantilever beam for different controller gain-delay combinations and assess the performance using time histories of the beam response. Numerical simulations clearly demonstrate the controller ability to mitigate vibrations emanating from multiple modes simultaneously.
