An experimental rotor rig was developed to investigate nonlinear vibration characteristics of rotor bearing system with coupling fault of rub-impact and oil whirl. It was found that when the effect of oil film force on a rub-impact rotor system is comparatively weak, the rotor/stator rub-impact will cause the system to give rise to sub- and super-harmonic vibration components. In a rub-impact rotor system with oil whirl fault, super-harmonic vibration components were excited, when rotor/stator rub-impact happens before oil film whirl because of small rotor/stator clearance. When the rotor/stator clearance is comparatively large, the rub-impact happens after oil film whirl, and the effect of rub-impact on the rotor system will be very weak.

As sophisticated mechanical equipment, the rotor system of aero-engine is assembled by various parts; bolted flange joints are one of the essential ways of joints. Aiming at the analysis of the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the rotor-bearing system with bolted flange joints, in this paper, a finite element modeling method for a rotor-bearing system with bolted flange joints is proposed, and an incremental harmonic balance method combined with arc length continuation is proposed to solve the dynamic solution of the rotor system. In order to solve the rotor system with rolling bearing nonlinearity, the alternating frequency/time-domain process of the rolling bearing element is deduced. Compared with the conventional harmonic balance method and the time-domain method, this method has the characteristics of fast convergence and high computational efficiency; solving the rotor system with nonlinear bearing force; overcome the shortcoming that the frequency–response curve of the system is too sharp to continue solving. By using this method, the influence of bearing clearance and stiffness on vibration characteristics of the rotor system with bolted flange joints is studied. The evolution law of the state of the rotor system with bolt flange is investigated through numerical simulation and experimental data. The results indicated that the modeling and solving method proposed in this paper could accurately solve the rotor-bearing system with bolted flange joints and analyze its vibration characteristics.

The vibrations of parallel geared rotor—bearing system have been intensively discussed; however, little attention has been paid to the dynamic analysis of angled bevel-geared system supported on journals. In the present work, the non-linear dynamics of a bevel-geared rotor system on oil film bearings is studied. First, the dynamic model is developed under some assumptions, such as rigid rotors, short-bearings, small teeth errors, and so forth. Then, the non-linear dynamic behaviours of both the balanced and unbalanced rotor system are analysed, respectively, in which the equilibrium points, limit cycles, their stability, and bifurcations are paid more attention. Numerical results show that in the bevel-geared rotor system under the action of non-linear oil film forces there exists a series of complex non-linear dynamic phenomena of rotor orbits, such as Hopf bifurcation, torus-doubling bifurcation, and jump phenomenon. All these features can help us to understand the dynamic characteristics of bevel-geared rotor—bearing system at design stage and during running period. Finally, some concerned problems during the investigation are also present.

The nonlinear vibration of a rotor excited by transverse electromagnetic and oil-film forces is presented in this paper. The rotor-bearing system is modeled as a continuum beam which is loaded by a distributed electromagnetic load and is supported by two oil-film bearings. The governing equation of motion is derived and discretized as a group of ordinary differential equations using the Galerkin's method. The stability of the equilibrium of the rotor is analyzed with the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and the occurrence of the Andronov-Hopf bifurcation is pointed out. The approximate solution of periodic motion is obtained using the averaging method. The stability of steady response is analyzed and the amplitude-frequency curve of primary resonance is illustrated. The Runge-Kutta method is adopted to numerically solve transient response of the rotor-bearing system. Comparisons are made to present influences of electromagnetic load, oil-film force and both of them on the nonlinear vibration response. Bifurcation diagrams of the transverse motion versus rotation speed, electromagnetic parameter and bearing parameters are provided to show periodic motion, quasi-periodic motion and period-doubling bifurcations. Diagrams of time history, shaft orbit, the Poincaré section and fast Fourier transformation of the transverse vibration are presented for further understanding of the rotor response.

For the diagnosis of looseness-rubbing coupling fault of rotor-sliding bearing system caused by bolt looseness fault, the mechanical model and finite element model of dual-disc rotor system with looseness-rubbing coupling fault are established based on the nonlinear finite element method, nonlinear oil film force, looseness stiffness model, and Hertz contact theory. With the augmented Lagrange method, contact constraint conditions are dealt with to ensure that the rotary disk and casing contact with each other meeting boundary penetrating depth within the prescribed tolerance range. And then the dynamics characteristics of the health rotor system supported by sliding bearing are studied. Combined with experimental study and simulation analysis, it is found that the looseness-rubbing coupling fault is often characterized by rubbing fault, the lower part of the time-domain fluctuated shape is denser, while the upper part is relatively loose, and multiple nested half ellipse is shown in orbit diagram. Because of the loosing stiffness and rubbing force, the phenomenon of unstable oil film is depressed. The appearance of the first- and second-order oil film oscillation phenomenon is delayed. It could be used as a theoretical basis for diagnosing looseness-rubbing coupling fault of rotor-sliding bearing system.

The nonlinear dynamic behavior of a rotor-bearing system is analyzed based on a continuum model. The finite element method is adopted in the analysis. Emphasis is given on the so called “Oil-Whirl phenomena” which might lead to the failure of the rotor system. The dynamic response of the system in unbalanced condition is approached by direct integration method and mode superposition method, it is found that a typical “Oil-Whirl phenomenon” is successfully produced. Furthermore, the bifurcation behavior of the Oil-Whirl phenomenon that is much concerned in recent nonlinear dynamics research is analyzed. The rotor-bearing system is also examined by the simple discrete model. Significant differences are found between these two models. It is suggested that a careful examination should be made in modeling such nonlinear dynamic behavior of the rotor system.

An experimental setup of rotor-bearing system is installed and vibration characteristics of the system with pedestal looseness are investigated. The pretightening bolt between the bearing house and pedestal is adjusted to simulate the pedestal looseness fault. The vibration waveforms, spectra and orbits are used to analyze the nonlinear response of the system with pedestal looseness. Different parameters, including speed, looseness gap, imbalance mass and disk position are changed to observe the nonlinear vibration characteristics. The experiments show that the system motion generally contains the 1/2X fractional harmonic component and multiple harmonic components such as 2X, 3X, etc. Under some special conditions, the pedestal looseness occurs intermittently, that is, occurs in some periods and doesn’t in other periods.

Multi-DOF model of double-disc rotor-bearing system taking oil film support into account is established, and Newmark method is also applied to dynamic response of continuous system. To simplify the calculation in double-disc eccentric situation, the research aims at time domain, frequency response and bifurcation solution, simultaneously qualitative experiments are also carried out on the experiment bench. Experiments show that the numerical algorithm and calculation results are credible. The conclusions conclude: For the rotor system shown in the paper, with the other parameters constant, small eccentricity system is prone to appear quasi-periodic instability, but for big eccentricity system it is period-doubling instability, and the instability speed will increase with eccentricity enlargement; initial eccentric phase has severe effects on the dynamic characteristic of system, so it is worth studying it more in depth. This method and results in this paper provides a theoretical reference for stability analysis and vibration control in more complex relevant rotor-bearing system.

Purpose This paper aims to study a dynamic analysis of a double-helical geared rotor system with oil-film bearing. Design/methodology/approach A finite element model of a double-helical geared rotor system with oil-film bearing is developed, in which a rigid mass is used to represent the gear and the Timoshenko beam finite element represents the shaft; the equations of motion are obtained by applying Lagrange’s equation. Natural frequencies, Campbell diagram, lateral responses, axial responses, bearing stiffness coefficients, bearing damping coefficients and bearing force are investigated. Findings Natural frequencies and Campbell diagram of a double-helical geared rotor system with oil-film bearing are investigated. An increased helical angle enhanced the axial response of the system and reduced its lateral response. The distance between the node and bearing affected the lateral response magnitude on the node. The farther away the gear pair was from the central part of the shaft, the higher the system’s resonance frequency became. The different gear pair position has a significant influence on the bearing stiffness coefficient and bearing force, but it just has a little effect on the bearing damping coefficient. Practical implications The model of a double-helical geared rotor system with oil-film bearing is established in this paper. The dynamic characteristics of a double-helical geared rotor system with oil-film bearing are investigated. The numerical results of this study can be used as a reference for subsequent personnel research. Originality/value Although the dynamics characteristics of geared rotor bearing system have been reported in some literature, the dynamic analysis of a double-helical geared rotor-bearing system is still rarely investigated. This paper showed some novel results that lateral and axial response results are obtained by the different helical angle and different gear positions. In the future, it makes valuable contributions for further development of dynamic analysis of a double-helical geared rotor-bearing system.

Abstract It is well known that the coupled fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is a challenging task, which is mainly due to the complexity of the vibration signals and the interaction of multiple fault components. In order to study the coupling vibration characteristics from unbalance and bearing fault in rotor-bearing system, A dynamic model of the coupled fault is performed to explore the phenomena of multi-fault in the rotor-bearing system in this paper. An experimental study, including seven working conditions, is also examined to further indicate the vibration response of coupling fault with unbalance and bearing fault. The influence of the rotor unbalance on the bearing vibration characteristics and the vibration rules of the coupling fault are proposed in this paper.
