Fundamental Equations

The ball balancer has been used as a vibration suppression device in rotor systems. It has a superior characteristic that the vibration amplitude is reduced to zero theoretically at a rotational speed range higher than the critical speed. However, the ball balancer causes a self-excited vibration near the critical speed when the balls rotate in the balancer. This self-excited vibration may occur in the wide rotational speed range with a large amplitude vibration, and in such a case, escaping from it becomes difficult. In this paper, the occurrence region and the vibration characteristics of the self-excited vibration caused by the ball balancer are investigated. The nonlinear theoretical analysis is performed and a set of the fundamental equations governing the self-excited vibration is obtained. The influences of the parameters of the ball balancer, such as, the damping of the ball’s motion, the ball’s mass, and radius of the balls’ path, are explained and they are also validated experimentally.

An automatic ball balancer is a unique vibration suppression device for rotor systems. Theoretically, two balls in a cylindrical chamber of the rotor are located at the optimal positions on the opposite side to the unbalance and cancel the unbalance automatically in the super-critical speed range. However, this device is not used widely due to two malfunctions. One is the influence of friction. Due to the inevitable friction between the balls and the inside wall of the channel, the balls stop near the optimal positions and do not balance the rotor perfectly. The other is the self-excited oscillation which occurs near and above the major critical speed. The objectives of the present paper are to clarify the fundamental characteristics of a ball balancer and to introduce some simple methods to eliminate these malfunctions.

The squeeze film damper is usually adopted in the rotor system to suppress the vibrating motion of the rotor system. In this work, not only are the physical parameters of the squeeze film damper analyzed but also the system parameters, like the number of squeeze film dampers used and squeeze film damper implementation positions, are analyzed. The amplitude-frequency curves are obtained by conducting the simulation of a dual-rotor, intershaft, and oil film force concatenated model. Through the analysis and comparisons of the results, the vibration suppression effects of the squeeze film damper with different parameter configurations are analyzed and summarized. This work contributes to further optimization and dynamical analysis work on rotor systems with the application of the squeeze film damper.

Stiffness And Damping

Squeeze film damper (SFD) is widely used in the vibration suppression of aeroengine rotor systems, but will cause complex motions of the rotor system under specific operating conditions. In this paper, a lumped-mass dynamic model of the high-pressure rotor system in an aeroengine is established, and the nonlinear stiffness and damping formula of SFD are introduced into the above model. The vibration responses of the rotor system under different rotating speeds and with different unbalances are investigated numerically, and the influence of SFD on the rotor system vibration and the change of suppression ability are compared and analyzed. The results show that in the case of high speed, together with a small unbalance, the rotor system will perform a complex vibration or a bistable vibration due to SFD. If the unbalance is properly increased under the same case of high speed, the vibration of the rotor becomes single-harmonic and the bistable vibration disappears. The research results can provide a helpful reference for analyzing complex vibration mechanisms of the rotor system with SFD and achieving an effective vibration suppression through unbalance regulation.

Abstract The standard techniques used to detect the misalignment in rotor systems are loopy orbits, multiple harmonics with predominant 2X component, and high axial vibration. This paper develops a new approach for the identification of misalignment in coupled rotor systems modelled using 2-node Timoshenko beam finite elements. The coupling connecting the turbine and generator rotor systems is modelled by a stiffness matrix, which has both static and additive components. While the magnitude of static stiffness component is fixed during operation, the time varying additive stiffness component displays a multi-harmonic behaviour and exists only in the presence of misalignment. To numerically simulate the multi-harmonic nature coupling force/moment as observed in experiments, a pulse wave is used as the steering function in the mathematical model of the additive coupling stiffness (ACS). The representative TG system has two-rotor systems, each having two discs and supported on two flexible bearings - connected by coupling. An active magnetic bearing (AMB) is used as an auxiliary bearing on each rotor for the purposes of vibration suppression and fault identification. The formulation of mathematical model is followed by the development of an identification algorithm based on the model developed, which is an inverse problem. Least-squares linear regression technique is used to identify the unbalances, bearing dynamic parameters, AMB constants and importantly the coupling static and additive stiffness coefficients. The sensitivity of the identification algorithm to signal noise and bias errors in modelling parameters have been tested. The novelty of paper is the representation and identification of misalignment using the ACS matrix coefficients, which are direct indicators of both type and severity of the misalignment.

Persistent Disturbances

Recent work in the area of adaptive control has seen the development of techniques for the adaptive rejection of persistent disturbances for structural systems. They have been implemented and tested for large-scale structural systems, with promising results, but have not been widely applied to smallerscale systems and devices. Rotor systems are subject to a variety of persistent disturbances (for example, due to mass imbalance, blade-pass effects) that occur at the rotor running speed or multiples of the running speed. The frequencies of such disturbance forces are generally known, but their magnitudes tend to vary over time. Adaptive techniques to counter the effects of such disturbances would appear to be a promising strategy in this regard. In order to assess the effectiveness of adaptive disturbances rejection for rotor applications and identify issues associated with implementation, and adaptive disturbance rejection control is developed, implemented, and tested for a magnetic-bearing-supported rotor system. Some conclusions and insights concerning the application of this method to rotor system vibration suppression are presented and discussed.

Flexible Rotor Systems

A method suggested in the past to suppress the vibrations of flexible rotor systems passing through critical speeds is reconsidered. An appropriate switching of the system stiffness (by using shape memory alloys, for instance) is utilized. To model the nonstationary system behavior more realistically, the rotor is driven by a limited power supply. A special feature is the inclusion of unequal bending stiffnesses of the shaft. The stationary and transient behavior of the motor and system characteristic and the deformation amplitudes and phase angles, are examined. Attention is focussed on the strategy for switching the stiffness to yield small resonance deflections.
