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.

In recent years, the desire for increased engine performance has led to technology that increasingly relies on robust and reliable turbocharging solutions. The rotor-bearing system (RBS) operates under extreme oil conditions of low viscosity, high temperatures, low HTHS (high temperature high shear) value and low pressure, while the demand for maximum turbocharger speed and variable geometry technology continues to increase. The rotordynamics instability is a potential issue and the development of RBS is becoming a challenge for design optimization at the development stage. It is further complicated by a lack of industrial standards to guide design practices related to the dynamics and the effort to combine high performance with low cost. This paper concerns the progress on nonlinear dynamic behavior modeling of turbocharger rotor-radial bearing system with fully floating bearing design. A developed fluid dynamics code predicts bearing rotational speed, operating inner and outer bearing clearances, effective oil viscosity taking into account the shear effect and hydrostatic load. The data are input to a rotordynamics code which predicts nonlinear lateral response (total shaft motion) of the rotor-bearing system. The model is validated with a high speed turbocharger RBS of 7.9 mm journal diameter running up to 160,000 rpm (maximum speed) with oil 0W30, 100 °C oil inlet temperature and 4 bar oil feed pressure. The test is conducted on a rotordynamics technology cell. An advanced data acquisition system is implanted and a powerful code is developed for automated data reduction. Prediction/test data show good correlation with the respect of synchronous response and total motion. The predictive model helps the development of high performance RBS with faster development cycle times and increased reliability.

The nonlinear dynamic behavior of a rotor-bearing system is analyzed based on a continuum model. The finite element method is adopted in the analysis. Emphasis is given on the so called “Oil-Whirl phenomena” which might lead to the failure of the rotor system. The dynamic response of the system in unbalanced condition is approached by direct integration method and mode superposition method, it is found that a typical “Oil-Whirl phenomenon” is successfully produced. Furthermore, the bifurcation behavior of the Oil-Whirl phenomenon that is much concerned in recent nonlinear dynamics research is analyzed. The rotor-bearing system is also examined by the simple discrete model. Significant differences are found between these two models. It is suggested that a careful examination should be made in modeling such nonlinear dynamic behavior of the rotor system.

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.

Rigid rotor roller bearing system displays complicated nonlinear dynamic behavior due to nonlinear Hertzian force of bearing. Nonlinear bearing forces of roller bearing and dynamic equations of rotor bearing system are established. The bifurcation and stability of the periodic motion of the system in radial clearance-rotating speed and ellipticity-rotating speed parametric domains are studied by use of continuation-shooting algorithm for periodic solutions of nonlinear non-autonomous dynamics system. Results show that the parameters of rotor bearing system should be designed carefully in order to obtain period-1 motion.

Ball bearings are important mechanical components in high-speed turbomachinery that is liable for severe vibration and noise due to the inherent nonlinearity of ball bearings. Using experiments and the numerical approach, the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a flexible rotor supported by ball bearings is investigated in this paper. An experimental ball bearing-rotor test rig is presented in order to investigate the nonlinear dynamic performance of the rotor systems, as the speed is beyond the first synchroresonance frequency. The finite element method and two-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of a ball bearing are employed for modeling the flexible rotor system. The discrete model of a shaft is built with the aid of the finite element technique, and the ball bearing model includes the nonlinear effects of the Hertzian contact force, bearing internal clearance, and so on. The nonlinear unbalance response is observed by experimental and numerical analysis. All of the predicted results are in good agreement with experimental data, thus validating the proposed model. Numerical and experimental results show that the resonance frequency is provoked when the speed is about twice the synchroresonance frequency, while the subharmonic resonance occurs due to the nonlinearity of ball bearings and causes severe vibration and strong noise. The results show that the effect of a ball bearing on the dynamic behavior is noticeable in optimum design and failure diagnosis of high-speed turbomachinery.

The dynamic model of the three-span rotor-bearing system with rub-impact fault was set up. The influence to nonlinear dynamics behaviors of the rotor-bearing system that induced by rub-impact of one disc, two discs and three discs were numerically studied. The main influence of the rotor system response by the rub-impact faults are in the supercritical rotate speed. There are mutations of amplitudes in the responses of second and third spans in supercritical rotate speed when rub-impact with one disc, and there are chaotic windows in the response of first span, and jumping changes in second and third spans when rub-impact with two or three discs.

An investigation is carried out the analysis of nonlinear dynamic behavior on effects of rub-impact caused by oil-rupture in a multi-shafts turbine system with a squeeze film damper. Main components of a multi-shafts turbine system includes an outer shaft, an inner shaft, an impeller shaft, ball bearings and a squeeze film damper. In the squeeze film damper, oil forces can be derived from the short bearing approximation and cavitated film assumption. The system equations of motion are formulated by the global assumed mode method (GAMM) and Lagrange’s approach. The nonlinear behavior of a multi-shafts turbine system which includes the trajectories in time domain, frequency spectra, Poincaré maps, and bifurcation diagrams are investigated. Numerical results show that large vibration amplitude is observed in steady state at rotating speed ratio adjacent to the first natural frequency when there is no squeeze film damper. The nonlinear dynamic behavior of a multi-shafts turbine system goes in its way into aperiodic motion due to oil-rupture and it is unlike the usual way (1T = >2T = >4T = >8T etc) as compared to one shaft rotor system. The typical routes of bifurcation to aperiodic motion are observed in a multi-shafts turbine rotor system and they suddenly turn into aperiodic motion from the periodic motion without any transition. Consequently, the increasing of geometric or oil parameters such as clearance or lubricant viscosity will improve the performance of SFD bearing.
