In this paper, a pedestal looseness fault model of a rotor-bearing-seal system is established. Under two working conditions of the same direction eccentricity (Working Condition 1) and reverse eccentricity (Working Condition 2), rotor orbits, vibration waveforms, spectrum cascade, and Poincaré maps are used to study the dynamic characteristics of the system when the sliding bearing support is loosened. The influence of speed, the unbalance of two discs, the looseness clearance, and the mass of bearing support on system characteristics are analyzed. The study found that Working Condition 2 is more likely to cause looseness of the bearing support. Moreover, for the rotor system in this paper, the pedestal looseness fault is more likely to occur near the second-order critical speed. Through analysis of the spectrum, it is found that the spectrum of the looseness fault will show multiple frequencies or continuous spectra, and the rotor orbits will appear “cylindrical.”

Purpose High power and speed are new demands for rotating machinery which needs the journal bearings with high dynamic characteristics. The critical speed of the rotor-bearing system is one of the most significant parameters to evaluate the dynamic characteristics. This paper aims to investigate the theoretical and experimental analysis of a rotor system supported by large diameter elliptical bearings. Design/methodology/approach To obtain the theoretical and experimental support for rotor-bearing system design, dynamic characteristics theoretical analysis based on the finite difference method is given and an experiment focuses on critical speed identification is carried out. Findings The theoretical calculation results indicate that the critical speed is near to 800 rpm and there is no large vibration amplitude round working speed (1,500 rpm). Using the test bench in the factory unit, vibration data including three experimental processes are obtained. According to the vibration data, the critical speed is identified which also indicates that it is stable when working at 1,500 rpm.

Rotor rub-impact has a great influence on the stability and safety of a rotating machine. This study develops a dynamic model of a two-span rotor-bearing system with rubbing faults, and numerical simulation is carried out. Moreover, frictional screws are used to simulate a rubbing state by establishing a set of experimental devices that can simulate rotor-stator friction in the rotor system. Through the experimental platform and its analysis system, the rubbing experiment was conducted, and the vibration of the rotor-bearing system before and after the critical speed is observed. Rotors running under normal condition, local slight rubbing, and severe rubbing throughout the entire cycle are simulated. Dynamic trajectories, frequency spectrum diagrams, chart of axis track, and Poincare maps are used to analyze the features of the rotor-bearing system with rub-impact faults under various parameters. The vibration characteristics of rub impact are obtained. Results show that the dynamic characteristics of the rotor-bearing system are affected by the change in velocity and degree of impact friction. The findings are helpful in further understanding the dynamic characteristics of the rub-impact fault of the two-span rotor-bearing system and provide reference for fault diagnosis.

Purpose This study aims to obtain the dynamic behaviours of cracked rod-fastening rotor bearing system (RFBS), and experimental investigation was carried out to examine the dynamic characteristics of this kind of assembled rotor bearing system with a transverse crack passing through the critical speed. Design/methodology/approach An experimental test rig of cracked RFBS was established for examining the vibration behaviours between intact and cracked system. The crack on the surface of a fastening rod was simulated by wire-electrode cutting processing method. The comprehensive analysis method of vibration was used to obtain the dynamic characteristics such as vibration amplitude, acceleration and whirling orbits before and after the critical speed as well as the instantaneous response in the process of speed up. Findings Some experimental vibration datum is obtained for cracked RFBS. The appearance of a crack will introduce the initial bending and make the vibration amplitude, acceleration and instant response in the process of speed up increase greatly as well as the change of whirling orbits. Originality/value The actual vibration characteristics for this complex assembled rotor system with a transverse crack are given passing through the critical speed. It can provide some useful help for monitoring the vibration behaviours of this kind of assembled rotor system as well as the detection of the crack fault.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of pivot stiffness on the dynamic characteristics of tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs) and the stability of the bearing-rotor system. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical numerical model is established, and the influences of pivot stiffness on TPJBs and a bearing-rotor system are analyzed. Then, two kinds of pivot structures with different stiffness are designed and the vibration characteristics are tested on the vertical rotor bearing test bench. Findings The pivot stiffness has an obvious effect on the dynamic characteristics of the TPJBs and the stability of the bearing-rotor system. As a result of appropriate pivot stiffness, the critical speed and the vibration amplification factor can be reduced, the logarithmic decay rate and the stability of the rotor system can be effectively increased. While the journal whirl orbit is smoother and the rubbing is obviously reduced when the bearings have flexible pivots. Originality/value The influence of pivot stiffness on TPJBs and a vertical rotor-bearing system is studied by theoretical and experimental methods.

This study is focused on the dynamic characteristics of a vertical turbomolecular pump (TMP) rotor-bearing system. The research methods can be divided into two parts, which are numerical analysis and experimental measurements. In numerical analysis, we use the finite element analysis software DyRoBeS and ANSYS to construct a two- and three-dimensional models of the rotor-bearing system. In the analysis process, by using the pump system assembly testing data, we can verify the rotor-bearing system finite element models under different boundary conditions. Next, we calculate the Campbell diagram to study the dynamic characteristics of the rotor-bearing system, and to compare with the experimental results to verify the models. Finally, we found the relationship between the rotor critical speed and the bearing stiffness in order to study the design of the molecular pump rotor and the bearing system. Experimental measurements were divided into two parts: static modal tests and dynamic measurements. Static modal tests can provide the natural frequencies of the rotor-bearing system. Waterfall diagrams of the dynamic tests can measure the pump system critical speed from zero speed up to the working speed crossing, and to insure that the pump working speed is far from the critical speed of at least 10% in the safe margin. In summary, the results of the experimental measurements and numerical analysis can provide the basis for the design tool for turbomolecular pump rotor-bearing system in order to identify and prevent pump vibrations.

In this paper, a simplified dynamic model of a dual-rotor system coupled with blade disk is built, and the effects of blade parameters of an aircraft engine on the dynamic characteristics of a dual-rotor system are studied. In the methodology, the blade is simplified as a cantilever structure, and the dynamical equations are obtained by the means of a finite element method. The amplitude-frequency response curves and orbits of shaft centre-vibration shape diagram are used to analyze the effects of blade parameters on dynamic characteristics of a dual-rotor system. The results indicate that the properties of the blades have huge impacts on the critical speed and other dynamic characteristics of the system. With an increase of the length of the blade, the second-order critical speed decreases obviously, but the first-order critical speed is almost invariant; this means that the blades attached on the low-pressure compressor do not affect the first-order critical speed of the dual-rotor system. Meanwhile, note that the high-pressure rotor and low-pressure turbine rotor can excite the first-order resonance of the dual-rotor system, while the low-pressure compressor rotor can only excite the second-order resonance, and then the dynamic model of this six-point support dual-rotor system can further be simplified as a relatively independent single-rotor system with one disk and a four-support dual-rotor system with dual disks.

An investigation of the compound texture effect on the dynamic characteristics of the journal bearing film is conducted. In this work, eight dynamic coefficients of the compound textured journal bearing and critical speed of the rotor supported by textured bearings are obtained and compared. Meanwhile, the elastic deformation effect of the bearing and rotor is obtained using the continuous convolution fast Fourier transform (CC-FFT) method. It is found that the reasonably arranged compound texture brings out an obvious increment in the direct stiffness coefficients and damping coefficients compared with the simple one, which results in the high critical speed of the bearing-rotor system. The above changes are close to the texture distribution, second-layered texture length, and width-length ratios of the compound texture. Moreover, there exists a critical compound texture depth to improve the critical speed of the bearing-rotor system.

This paper investigates the dynamic characteristics of a composite rotor fastened by rods. Contact stiffness and equivalent bending stiffness between discs with different rod preloads of the rotor are obtained respectively by using the elastic and elastic-plastic contact theory. The finite element model of rotor-bearing system is built with Timoshenko beam elements. Critical speeds are respectively calculated with and without the consideration of contact effect, including the changing bearing dynamic coefficients. A test rig of rod fastening rotor-bearing system has been constructed to verify the numerical model results. The results show that the critical speed increases with rod preload and it keeps almost constant when the rod preload reaches a certain value, called preload saturation. The experiments demonstrate that the rod fastening rotor under preload saturation has the similar dynamic characteristics as integral rotor, such as the critical speed and backward whirl with asymmetric support stiffnesses. This kind of rotors which are under preload saturation can be analyzed and designed as an integral one without considering the contact effect. The study gives referential recommendations for analysis and design of a class of composite rotors which contain discs and rods.
