The nonlinear dynamic characteristics of three-dimensional rod-fastening rotor bearing system are investigated in this paper. The rod-fastening rotor includes discontinuous shaft, rotating disks, circumferentially distributed rods, and macrointerfaces between disks. The first three parts are discretized by three dimensional elements, and the macrointerfaces are connected by some springs whose stiffness is determined by a proposed linear partition method. For comparison, the three-dimensional dynamic model of a corresponding complete rotor bearing system is also built. After the rod-fastening and complete rotor bearing system are reduced by a component mode synthesis, periodic motions and stability margins are calculated by using the shooting method and path-following technique, and the local stability of system is obtained by using the Floquet theory. Comparative results show the both systems have a resemblance in the bifurcation features when mass eccentricity and rotating speed are changed. The vibration response has the identical frequency components when typical bifurcations occur. The dynamic stress is obtained by regarding the displacements of all nodes as load. Moreover, the unbalanced and insufficient of the pre-tightening forces lead to obvious disadvantageous influence on the stability and vibration of the both systems. Generally, this paper considers the interfacial effect of the rod-fastening rotor bearing system and the relative nonlinear dynamic features are obtained.

The effects of typical machining errors on the dynamic features of rod-fastened rotor bearing system (RBS) are studied in this paper. Three micron-sized machining errors are considered in a three-dimensional (3D) rod-fastened model. The static effects of machining errors are investigated by applying finite element method. Results demonstrate that machining errors not only bring about mass eccentricity but also cause obvious rotor bending due to large pretightening force. Then, nonlinear dynamic features such as stability and bifurcation are analyzed by using target-shooting technique, track-following method, and Floquet theory. Analysis data indicate that rotor bending originated from machining errors reduces the system stability evidently. It is also observed that the vibration value continues to go up after critical speed as rotating speed increases. It is a particular property compared with integral rotor. It explains the reason why the machining precision of rod-fastened rotor is much higher than that of the corresponding integral rotor to some extent. Moreover, differences between machining errors are compared and the results show that the machining precision of axial assembly interfaces should be paid more attention in the rod-fastened rotor design.

The coupled heave and pitch motions of a ship sailing in head waves affect the stability of the marine rotor-bearing system. Based on the theory of analytical mechanics, this study establishes a dynamic model of the rotor-bearing system subjected to the coupled motions of heave and pitch, considering nonlinear oil film moments produced by the tilting of the rotor in the bearings. The nonlinear dynamic behaviours of the system are analysed using numerical methods to obtain Poincaré sections, bifurcation diagrams, and the largest Lyapunov exponents. The results show that dynamic bifurcation characteristics reveal complex quasi-periodic motion of upper and lower branches after the initial instability of the system, and the speed of second instability increase markedly. At high speeds, the amplitude of the rotor system increases sharply, which can cause the rotor to touch the inner wall of the bearings in the quasi-periodic state and a failure to transition to the chaotic state. Additionally, the effects of heave and pitch amplitude variations on the dynamic characteristics of the system are also discussed.

The dynamic model of two-span rotor-bearing system with three-coupling faults of rub-impact, crack and pedestal looseness faults was set up, and the influences of faults to nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system were studied by mapping and continuation comprehensive method. There are many harmonic elements of 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1, 3/2 and 2 et al within the sub-critical rotate speed range. But the 3/2 and 2-harmonic elements decrease within the super-critical rotate speed range. It may the main characteristics of the system with three-coupling faults of rub-impact, crack and pedestal looseness. It should notice to diagnosis the three-coupling faults of the system when running within the super-critical rotate speed range.

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.

In this paper, the influence of the heaving motion on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the rotor-bearing system is considered. First, a mathematic model of the marine rotor-bearing system is developed on the short bearing theory in the noninertial reference system, in which the heaving motion is taken into account. Then its dynamic characteristics are analyzed based on the numerical integration method, such as the bifurcation diagram, the largest Lyapunov exponents (LLE), the steady-state response, and the rotor orbit and its Poincaré map. The results indicate that heaving motion has a great effect on the dynamics of the rotor system, which exhibits a period 1 motion at low rotating speed, with the increase of the rotating speed, the phenomena of the quasiperiodic, period 2, and double Hopf bifurcations appear. Its dynamic performance presents a period 1 motion, period 2, quasiperiodic, and chaotic oscillation.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the dynamic behaviours of a three-dimensional (3D) rod-fastening rotor bearing system (RFBS) with a crack in a fastening rod. Design/methodology/approach Based on the 3D finite element method model and stress analysis of a cracked RFBS, a 3D dynamic model of the RFBS with a crack in a fastening rod is established with considering the initial bending and stress redistribution caused by the crack. A combined numerical simulation technology is used to investigate the dynamic behaviours of the system. Findings The distribution of contact stress between the two disks will be not uniform, and the initial bending of the system will occur due to the presence of a crack. This will lead to the change of system stiffness and the dynamic behaviours such as vibration amplitude, and motion orbits will change significantly. Research limitations/implications A 3D finite element method dynamic model is proposed for the study of dynamic characteristics of complex combined rotor bearing system with cracks. Practical implications It is helpful and significant to master the dynamic behaviours of cracked RFBS. It is helpful to detect the presence of a crack of the rotor bearing system. Social implications Some of the losses caused by crack failure may be reduced. Originality/value The proposed 3D method can provide a useful reference for the study of dynamic characteristics of complex combined rotor bearing system with cracks.

This paper is concerned the stability and bifurcation of a flexible rod-fastening rotor bearing system (FRRBS). Here the shaft is considered as an integral or continuous structure and be modeled by using Timoshenko beam-shaft element which can take the effects of axial load into consideration. And using Hamilton’s principle, model tie rods distributed along the circumference as a constant stiffness matrix and an add-moment which caused by unbalanced pre-tightening forces. Then the model is reduced by a component mode synthesis method, which can conveniently account for nonlinear oil film forces of the bearing. This study focuses on the influence of nonlinearities on the stability and bifurcation of T periodic motion of the FRRBS subjected to the influence of mass eccentricity. The periodic motions and their stability margin are obtained by shooting method and path-following technique. The local stability and bifurcation behaviors of periodic motions are obtained by Floquet theory. The results indicate that mass eccentricity and unbalanced pre-tightening forces of tie rods have great influence on nonlinear stability and bifurcation of the T periodic motion of system, cause the spillover of system nonlinear dynamics and degradation of stability and bifurcation of T periodic motion.
