This paper presents an analysis of the steady-state unbalance response of a dual-rotor gas turbine engine with a flexible intershaft squeeze film damper using a simplified transfer matrix method. The simplified transfer matrix method is convenient for the evaluation of the critical speed and response of the rotor system with various supports, shaft coupling, intershaft bearing, etc. The steady-state unbalance response of the rotor system is calculated for different shaft rotation speeds. The damping effects of an intershaft squeeze film damper with different radial clearances under various levels of rotor unbalance are investigated.

Abstract This paper proposes a new method for steady-state, large-order nonlinear rotordynamic calculations: it uses a method called the transfer coefficient method (TCM), which is more convenient than the transfer matrix method. Since TCM calls for only the displacement as the independent variable, whereas both the displacement and the force are needed as the state variables in the conventional transfer matrix method, TCM promises a substantial saving of computation time without incurring loss in the accuracy of calculation. First, the outline of TCM is explained, then the nonlinear calculations for a rotor of many degrees of freedom are presented. This steady-state nonlinear calculation method is based on the discreet Fourier transform (DPT, FFT) and substructure synthesis. As an example, the nonlinear response due to unbalance mass is calculated and discussed in the case of the rotor which is supported by three bearings with two nonlinear squeeze film dampers.

Abstract A nonlinear multi-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of a coupled dual-rotor system with an intershaft bearing and uncentralized squeeze film damper is established by using finite element method. Based on the model, the critical speed characteristic diagram and vibration modes of the system were calculated. The steady-state unbalance response is obtained by using Newmark-β algorithm. The numerical results show the effect of SFD position in the dual-rotor system on response amplitude. It is found that with the decrease of radial clearance and the increase of length-diameter ratio and lubricating oil viscosity, the damping effect of SFD is enhanced and the bistable state phenomenon can be suppressed. The transient response of the system in case of sudden unbalance occurring at the fan was simulated by applying a step function. It is demonstrated that the SFD can effectively reduce the duration and maximum amplitude of the transient process, but at certain speeds, the SFD will increase the amplitude after the system returns to steady state, the damping effect on the transient response is also enhanced with the increase of length-diameter and the decrease of radial clearance, and with the increase of the sudden unbalance value, the response is more likely to stabilized at the high amplitude state of the bistable state.

A method is presented for calculating the dynamics of a dual-rotor gas turbine engine equipped with a flexible intershaft squeeze-film damper. The method is based on the functional expansion component synthesis method. The transient response of the rotor due to a suddenly applied unbalance in the high-pressure turbine under different steady-speed operations is calculated. The damping effects of the intershaft damper and stability of the rotor system are investigated.

In this paper, a new electro-rheological multi-layer squeeze film damper (ERMSFD in short) is designed first and the constitutional Reynolds equation is established. Then the behavior of the rotor system is analyzed, the vibration around the first critical speed is suppressed and an on/off control is proposed to control the large amplitude around the first critical speed. A control method is used to suppress the sudden unbalance response. Finally, experiments are carried out to investigate the behavior of the rotor system to prove the effectiveness of the ER damper to suppress the vibration around the critical speed and the sudden unbalance response.
