In real-life applications, multi-disk-rotor systems are supported on bearings with nonlinear flexibility. The balancing of such systems at high speeds is a challenging task. This work presents a method of balancing such systems. The dynamic equations of motion for a nonlinear system are derived first using the influence coefficient method and then Lagrangian equations. An equivalent linear system is found using the optimization principles. Finally, the correct balance weights for the nonlinear system are obtained based on the equivalent linear system. The results thus obtained establish the utility of such a method of balancing nonlinear systems.

An analysis is made of the response of a system with bilinear hysteresis to random excitation. It is shown that for moderately large inputs, the additional damping created by the bilinear hysteresis decreases the mean squared deflection compared with that for a linear system with the same viscous damping. However, for large inputs, the decrease in the stiffness of the system due to the bilinear hysteresis causes the mean squared deflection to increase over that for the equivalent linear system.

The nonlinear dynamic behaviors of rotor-bearing system for ball end milling are studied in this paper. The rotor system is supported by bearings with nonlinear spring effects. The nonlinear cutting force can be calculated by using the Tlusty proposed 3/4 rule for chip thickness. The effects of design parameters on system dynamic behaviors including critical speeds and stability under the dynamic cutting forces are numerically investigated in the time domain. For linear system case or the nonlinear system with small depth-of-cut or feed per tooth under linear cutting force, the results show that the critical speeds of system are proportional to the corresponding system natural frequencies, but inversely to the cycle number of tool vibration multiplying by the number of flutes during the cutting time from one flute to another. With large depth-of-cut or feed per tooth, the differences of the critical speeds become larger between linear and nonlinear rotor systems and so are the dynamic responses at critical speeds milling. The critical speed under nonlinear cutting force milling is found to be always higher than that under linear cutting force. Furthermore, the chatter stability lobes are studied for various cutting conditions. The intervals between critical speeds increase gradually, and the axial depths of cut of nonlinear system for stability are lower than those of linear system.

In this paper, two controllers with a compound disturbance observer are proposed for a two-wheeled inverted robot (TWIR) with model uncertainty and unknown input disturbance. First, an equivalent linear model of the TWIR with uncertainty and input disturbance is proposed using the Taylor series expansion for the nonlinear model of the TWIR at an equilibrium point, in which the nonlinear part of the Taylor series and the model uncertainty are combined with unknown input disturbance as compound input disturbance. Then, the compound input disturbance is estimated by using the Newton method and reference model. As the estimated compound disturbance is used to compensate for the compound disturbance, the equivalent linear system becomes closely definite without compound input disturbance. Finally, two controllers are proposed using the equivalent linear system. Stability analysis of the proposed control methods is also given. To illustrate the proposed methods, some simulations for the TWIR are performed and compared with the existing methods. The main contribution of this work includes the following: (i) simple controllers based on compound input disturbance observer for trajectory tracking and balancing of TWIRs with unknown input disturbance and model uncertainty are proposed; (ii) the stability of proposed closed-loop control systems is proved; (iii) our proposed methods are simulated and compared with the existing methods.
