Rotor bearing systems on ships usually work in inclined states when ships are swaying in wave and wind. The inclined status will affect the lubricant condition of journal bearing and bring about changes of the dynamic characteristics of the rotor system. To study the periodic solution stability of inclined rotor journal bearing system, Capone’s short bearing model is employed to describe the journal bearing support properties. Considering the inclination induced change of bearing radial load, the dynamic equation of inclined rotor system is established by using finite element method. The periodic solution stability is discussed based on bifurcation and response analysis. With the increase of rotating speed, instability of period-1 motion happens and oil whirl occurs. The motion then develops into a kind of quasi-periodic motion. Two special cases of inclined rotor system, the horizontal and the vertical cases, are compared and discussed. Both of the numerical and the experimental results show that the periodic solution unstable threshold decreases with the increase of rotor inclination angle. At last, some experimental results about influences of experiments conditions on rotor system stability are given.

The nonlinear dynamics theory is increasingly applied in the dynamics analysis of tilting pad journal bearing-rotor system. However, extensive work on system dynamics done previously neglects the influence caused by the moment of inertia of the pad. In this paper, a comparison is made between the responses of the rotor in the bearings with and without pad inertia effect. Taking the Jeffcott rotor system as an example, the characteristics of bearing-rotor system, such as bifurcation diagram, cycle response, frequency spectrum, phase trajectories, and Poincaré maps, were attained within a certain rotation rate range. The pivotal oil-film force of tilting pad journal bearing was calculated by database method. The results directly demonstrate that considering the influence of the pad moment of inertia, system dynamics characteristics are found more complicated when rotor-bearing system works around natural frequency and system bifurcation is observed forward when rotor-bearing system works on high-speed range.

This paper is an attempt to provide a dynamic analysis of a rigid rotor-gear pair-hydrodynamic bearing system with journal motions in the oil film space of the bearings. A mathematical model has been developed considering the kinematics of the gear pair as affected by journal motions and using a concept of an instantaneous line of action. Effects of bearing parameters on dynamic tooth loads have been studied. The load-speed environment of hydrodynamic bearings supporting the geared rotors is shown to be affected by journal motions in bearings. Results indicate that, for the given gear pair and the given static load-speed conditions, dynamic increments in gear tooth loads and bearing loads vary with bearing parameters (viz. clearances and oil viscosities).
