This paper presents the vibration of a transversely cracked rotor supported by anisotropic journal bearings, where the speed-dependent characteristic of bearing is considered. A 3D finite element model and the contact-based approach are employed for the shaft and crack. The governing differential equations of the whole cracked rotor-bearing system were obtained by synthesizing the equations of the cracked shaft, the breathing crack and the journal bearings. In order to solve the computational difficulties caused by the high dimensions of model, the free-interface complex component mode synthesis method (CMS) is employed to reduce the order of the model. On this basis, the eigenvalue and the steady-state forced response of the cracked rotor-bearing system are obtained by the Hill’s method. Finally, the effects of the anisotropic and speed-dependent characteristics of bearings on the vibration of the system are studied. Numerical results show that both the two characteristics can significantly affect the response of the system. The anisotropy in the bearing leads to the split of resonant peaks and influence the amplitudes of the peaks. The speed-dependent characteristic mainly affects the responses at the speeds close to the resonant regions, because the parametric excitation effect of the resonance region is greater than other speeds.

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.

Main Influence

A dynamic model was set up for the two-span rotor-bearing system with coupling faults of crack and pedestal looseness supported on three plain journal bearings. The nonlinear dynamic behaviors that induced by crack, pedestal looseness and coupling faults are numerically studied. There is quasi-periodic motion appearing in the cracked rotor-bearing system, and it within the sub-critical speed range in the pedestal looseness rotor-bearing system. There is chaotic motion appearing within the supper-critical speed range in the pedestal looseness rotor-bearing system. The pedestal looseness fault is the main influence on the coupling faults system, and there is Period-3 motion appearing in the system. The results may bring up theoretical references for fault diagnoses, dynamic design, and security running to rotor-bearing system.

The steady-state response and breathing mechanism of a cracked rotor supported by flexible bearings are investigated in this paper. The generalized and efficient method proposed in this paper can be used to study the dynamics of complicated cracked structures without much modification. First, a three-dimensional finite element model of the cracked rotor-bearing system is established in the rotating frame and a general contact model for modeling the breathing crack is proposed. A component mode synthesis is used to form a reduced-order model. Then, a procedure combining multi-harmonic balance method with arc-length method is used to search the response solution. To accelerate the calculation, the analytical formulations for calculating the tangent stiffness matrix are used. Finally, the gravity induced response and breathing mechanism of a cracked rotor-bearing system are obtained. Interesting result is that the rotational speed and the crack depth will influence the breathing mechanism even if the load remains unchanged.

Bearing System

To determine the bifurcation types in a rotor-bearing system, it is required to find higher order derivatives of the bearing forces with respect to journal velocity and position. As closed-form expressions for journal bearing force are not generally available, Hopf bifurcation studies of rotor-bearing systems have been limited to simple geometries and cavitation models. To solve this problem, an alternative nonlinear coefficient-based method for representing the bearing force is presented in this study. A flexible rotor-bearing system is presented for which bearing force is modeled with linear and nonlinear dynamic coefficients. The proposed nonlinear coefficient-based model was found to be successful in predicting the bifurcation types of the system as well as predicting the system dynamics and trajectories at spin speeds below and above the threshold speed of instability.

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.

Abstract The rotordynamic analysis of a high speed multistage centrifugal compressor supported on radial magnetic bearings, which has been running successfully in the field for 9000 hours to date, is presented. Iterations required to achieve an acceptable rotor configuration using magnetic bearings are discussed. The results of the rotor-bearing system on standard fluid film five shoe tilting pad journal bearings are compared to the dynamics of the rotor on magnetic bearings. Correlation of the observed peak responses with those predicted on magnetic bearings is presented. The actual orbit plots and frequency plots during the coastdown of the rotor-bearing system on auxiliary ball bearings are discussed.
