The nonlinear dynamic behavior of a rotor-bearing system is analyzed with its continuum model based on the analysis of the discrete model, with considering some other important influencing factors besides the nonlinear factors of the bearing, such as, the effect of inertia distribution and shear, transverse-torsion, structural geometric parameters of the system, which make the description of the system more embodiment and avoid the casualness of selection of system parameters. The dynamic responses of the continuum system and discrete system in the same unbalance condition are approached by the Runge-Kutta method and Newmark-β method. With the comparison of the results, significant difference about the dynamic characteristics is found with the addition of the considered factors. It is suggested that the substitution of discrete model by the continuum ones can get more accurate and abundant results. Furthermore, these results can provide more accurate verification and reference for the experiment and nonlinear dynamic design of the more complicated rotor system.

With the comparison of the results on the bifurcation map and three-dimensional spectrum, significant difference is appeared with the addition of the considered factors. It is suggested that the substitution of continuum model for the discrete ones can get more accurate and abundant results. Furthermore, these results can provide more accurate verification and reference for the experiment and nonlinear dynamic design of the complex rotor system.

The gear mesh stiffnesses have been regarded as constants in most previous models of geared rotor-bearing systems. In this paper, a dynamic analysis of a spur geared rotor-bearing system with nonlinear gear mesh stiffness is presented. The nonlinear gear mesh stiffness is accounted for by bending, fillet-foundation and contact deflections of gear teeth. A finite element model of the geared rotor-bearing system is developed, the equations of motion are obtained by applying Lagrange’s equation, and the dynamic responses are computed by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical method. Numerical results indicate that the proposed gear mesh stiffness provides a realistic dynamic response for spur geared rotor-bearing system.

In the case of considering the shear effect and gyroscopic effect, a finite element model is developed to study the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a double-disk isotropic rotor- bearing system with axial rub-impact in this paper. The influences of rotational speed and initial phase difference on the operation stability of the rotor-bearing system are discussed. It transpires that the response of the rotor system with axial rub- impact is mainly synchronous periodic motion. The vibration signals of axial rub-impact include such as the synchronous signal and the multiple frequencies, in which the synchronous signal is dominating signal. There is no weakening wave phenomenon in time wave plot. All the results are in reasonable good agreement with those observed in engineering. The results of this paper could provide certain reference for fault diagnosis and self-healing of large high-speed rotating machinery system, thus ensuring the safe operation of the system.

Abstract This paper describes a method with which the nonlinear dynamic response and the natural features of rotor-bearing systems in large hydro-units can be estimated on a personal computer. The key step of this process is to estimate the dynamic eccentricity of the journal center in every guide bearing when the system is subjected to dynamic loads. As an example, the nonlinear dynamic responses, the natural frequencies and the critical speeds of the rotor-bearing system of a 240MW hydro-unit are calculated. The calculated dynamic responses agree well with the ones measured in the field.

Nonlinear damping suspension has gained attention owing to its excellent vibration isolation performance. In this paper, a cubic nonlinear viscous damping suspension was introduced to a rotor bearing system for vibration isolation between the bearing and environment. The nonlinear dynamic response of the rotor bearing system was investigated thoroughly. First, the nonlinear oil film force was solved based short bearing approximation and half Sommerfeld boundary condition. Then the motion equations of the system was built considering the cubic nonlinear viscous damping. A computational method was used to solve the equations of motion, and the bifurcation diagrams were used to display the motions. The influences of rotor-bearing system parameters were discussed from the results of numerical calculation, including the eccentricity, mass, stiffness, damping and lubricating oil viscosity. The results showed that: (1) medium eccentricity shows a wider stable speed range; (2) rotor damping has little effect to the stability of the system; (3) lower mass ratio produces a stable response; (4) medium suspension/journal stiffness ratio contributes to a wider stable speed range; (5) a higher viscosity shows a wider stable speed range than lower viscosity. From the above results, the rotor bearing system shows complex nonlinear dynamic behavior with nonlinear viscous damping. These results will be helpful to carrying out the optimal design of the rotor bearing system.

The harmonic vibration characteristics of a deeply buried spherical methane tank in viscoelastic soil subjected to cyclic loading in the frequency domain are investigated. The dynamic behavior of the soil is described based on the theory of fractional derivatives. By introducing potential functions, the closed-form expressions for the displacement and the stress of the viscoelastic soil surrounding the deeply buried spherical methane tank are obtained. Two die structures are considered: a homogeneous elastic medium and a shell structure. Based on the theory of elastic motion and the Flügge theory, analytic solutions for the dynamic responses of the spherical methane tank in a fractional-derivative viscoelastic soil are derived explicitly. Analytic solution expressions of the undetermined coefficients are determined by using the continuum boundary conditions. The system dynamic responses to the homogeneous elastic medium and the shell structure and the influences of the parameters of the fractional derivative, soil, and die on the dynamic characteristic of the system are compared and analyzed. The results indicate a significant difference between the dynamic responses of the die structures for the two models.

Dynamic model and equation of a nonlinear flexible rotor-bearing system are established based on rotor dynamics. A local iteration method consisting of improved Wilson-θ method, predictor-corrector mechanism and Newton-Raphson method is proposed to calculate nonlinear dynamic responses. By the proposed method, the iterations are only executed on nonlinear degrees of freedom. The proposed method has higher efficiency than Runge-Kutta method, so the proposed method improves calculation efficiency and saves computing cost greatly. Taking the system parameter ‘s’ of flexible rotor as the control parameter, nonlinear dynamic responses of rotor system are obtained by the proposed method. The stability and bifurcation type of periodic responses are determined by Floquet theory and a Poincaré map. The numerical results reveal periodic, quasi-periodic, period-5, jump solutions of rich and complex nonlinear behaviors of the system.

Unbalanced response of cracked rotor-bearing system under time-dependent base movements is studied in this paper. Three base angular motions, including the rolling, pitching and yawing motions, are assumed to be sinusoidal perturbations superimposed upon constant terms. Both the open and breathing transverse cracks are considered in the analysis. The finite element model is established for the base excited rotor-bearing system with open or breathing cracks. Considering the time-varying base movements and transverse cracks, the second order differential equations of the system will not only have time-periodic gyroscopic and stiffness coefficients, but also the multi-frequency external excitations. An improved harmonic balance method is introduced to obtain the steady-state response of the system under both base and unbalance excitations. The whirling frequencies of the equivalent time-invariant system, orbits of shaft center, response spectra and frequency response characteristics, are analyzed accordingly. The effects of various base angular motions, frequency and amplitude of base excitations, and crack depths on the system dynamic behaviors are considered in the discussions.
