Based on the structural and dynamic characteristics of aero-engine rotor system, we used Lagrange method to develop a two-bearing and a multi-bearing rotor model with misalignment. An equation of motion was derived with features of response examined. Due to the uncertainty of mechanical parameters, interval method was adopted to investigate the dynamic response of rotor system with misalignment. Dynamic response and influence of the key mechanical parameters will be obtained in further research. The two times harmonic was found as a distinctive feature of misalignment and the magnitude of it in spectrum is closely related to some key mechanical factors. We also found interval method outstandingly performed in investigating dynamic response when some key parameters are uncertain.

A comprehensive multi-objective optimisation methodology is presented and applied to a practical aero engine rotor system. A variant of Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA) is employed to simultaneously minimise the weight and unbalance response of the rotor system with restriction imposed on critical speed. Rayleigh beam is used in Finite Element Method (FEM) implemented in-house developed MATLAB code for analysis. The results of practical interest are achieved through bearing-pedestal model and eigenvalue based Rayleigh damping model. Pareto optimal solutions generated and best solution selected with the help of response surface approximation of the Pareto optimal front. The outcome of the paper is a minimum weight and minimum unbalance response rotor system which satisfied the critical speed constraints.

Spline is a kind of typical joint structures widely used in the aero-engine rotor system. The stiffness distribution of the spool is affected by the spline joint’s stiffness directly. Therefore, it is significant to investigate the spline joint’s stiffness characteristics and its influences on the dynamic characteristics of the rotor system. To figure out the factors that affect the bending stiffness of the spline joint, a mechanical model which takes contact state into account was built based on the structure analysis and force state analysis. In addition, an actual rotor with a spline joint was established to measure the stiffness under different loads, and the results were compared with the analysis by three modeling methods. Furthermore, the natural frequencies of the rotor were tested. Obtained results indicate that the structural discontinuity, the surface stiffness and the clearance fit cause the loss of local angular stiffness and linear stiffness. Meanwhile, the stiffness of the rotor with the spline joint is weaker along with the increase of the load/deformation, and become stable when undergoing the huge load/deformation. Besides, the local blending stiffness is presented as nonlinear and uncertainty subjected to an interval, which further affected the dynamic characteristics of rotor system.

Based on the structural and mechanics analysis of aero-engines rotor system, the dynamic model of the flexible rotor system with multi-supports are presented in order to solve the bearing misalignment problem of rotor system in aero-engines. The motion equations are derived through Lagrange method. The relationship between structural and mechanics characteristics parameters are built up. Finally, the dynamic influence of bearing misalignment on rotor system is divided into three kinds: additional rotor bending rigidity, additional bearing misalignment excitation force and additional imbalance. The equations suggest that additional imbalance excitation force activates the nonlinearity on rotor system and an additional 2× excitation force might appear.
