Nonlinear vibration behaviors of marine rotor system coupled with floating raft-airbag-displacement restrictor under ship heaving motion
To study the nonlinear vibration behaviors of rotor system coupled with floating raft-airbag-displacement restrictor under ship heaving motion, the dynamic model is established considering the effect of heaving motion, its steady-state responses are numerically obtained using Runge-Kutta method and the results are surveyed by tools such as the spectrum waterfall diagram, time-domain response, frequency-domain response, axis orbit, and Poincaré map. The effects of rotating speed, ship heaving amplitude, and its frequency on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the system are mainly studied. The results show that the responses of the rotor and raft are of obvious nonlinear behaviors such as amplitude jumping, bifurcation, and chaos due to the effects of nonlinear oil film force and ship heaving motion. With the increase of rotating speed, the motion of rotor and raft presents quasi-periodic and chaotic vibrations. Ship heaving amplitude and its frequency all have great effect on the vibration of rotor and raft; as heaving amplitude or frequency increases, the motion state of rotor and raft changes, and the amplitude of raft increases significantly. The displacement restrictor can effectively limit the vibrating displacements of the raft when ship heaving amplitude or its frequency is large.
