Bifurcation analysis for a modified Jeffcott rotor with bearing clearances

A HB (Harmonic Balance)/AFT (Alternating Frequency/Time) technique is developed to obtain synchronous and subsynchronous whirling motions of a horizontal Jeffcott rotor with bearing clearances. The method utilizes an explicit Jacobian form for the iterative process which guarantees convergence at all parameter values. The method is shown to constitute a robust and accurate numerical scheme for the analysis of two dimensional nonlinear rotor problems. The stability analysis of the steady-state motions is obtained using perturbed equations about the periodic motions. The Floquet multipliers of the associated Monodromy matrix are determined using a new discrete HB/AFT method. Flip bifurcation boundaries were obtained which facilitated detection of possible rotor chaotic (irregular) motion as parameters of the system are changed. Quasi-periodic motion is also shown to occur as a result of a secondary Hopf bifurcation due to increase of the destabilizing cross-coupling stiffness coefficients in the rotor model.     

A new nonlinear force model to replace the Hertzian contact model in a rigid-rotor ball bearing system

A new nonlinear force model based on experimental data is proposed to replace the classical Hertzian contact model to solve the fractional index nonlinearity in a ball bearing system. Firstly, the radial force and the radial deformation are measured by statics experiments, and the data are fitted respectively by using the Hertzian contact model and the cubic polynomial model. Then, the two models are compared with the approximation formula appearing in Aeroengine Design Manual. In consequence, the two models are equivalent in an allowable deformation range. After that, the relationship of contact force and contact deformation for single rolling element between the races is calculated based on statics equilibrium to obtain the two kinds of nonlinear dynamic models in a rigid-rotor ball bearing system. Finally, the displacement response and frequency spectrum for the two system models are compared quantitatively at different rotational speeds, and then the structures of frequency-amplitude curves over a wide speed range are compared qualitatively under different levels of radial clearance, amplitude of excitation, and mass of supporting rotor. The results demonstrate that the cubic polynomial model can take place of the Hertzian contact model in a range of deformation.

Nonlinear dynamical stability analysis of the circular three-dimensional frame

The three-dimensional frame is simplified into flat plate by the method of quasiplate. The nonlinear relationships between the surface strain and the midst plane displacement are established. According to the thin plate nonlinear dynamical theory, the nonlinear dynamical equations of three-dimensional frame in the orthogonal coordinates system are obtained. Then the equations are translated into the axial symmetry nonlinear dynamical equations in the polar coordinates system. Some dimensionless quantities different from the plate of uniform thickness are introduced under the boundary conditions of fixed edges, then these fundamental equations are simplified with these dimensionless quantities. A cubic nonlinear vibration equation is obtained with the method of Galerkin. The stability and bifurcation of the circular three-dimensional frame are studied under the condition of without outer motivation. The contingent chaotic vibration of the three-dimensional frame is studied with the method of Melnikov. Some phase figures of contingent chaotic vibration are plotted with digital artificial method.     

内圈离心位移对高速角接触球轴承刚度的影响

以弹性力学理论、滚动轴承动力学和沟道控制理论为基础,计算了角接触球轴承内圈在离心力作用下的径向位移,给出了计及内圈离心位移影响时,高速角接触球轴承滚动体与内、外圈的接触刚度与轴承整体的径向刚度、轴向刚度、角刚度的计算方法和相应程序。对7012/CD轴承的计算结果表明,轴承内圈外径的离心位移随转速增加而增大,在高速条件下其值较大,不容忽视;轴承内圈离心位移对内圈接触刚度和轴承径向刚度影响较大,导致内圈接触刚度和轴承径向刚度相对增大;对外圈的接触刚度、轴承轴向刚度和角刚度的影响很小;随着转速的增加与内圈离心位移的增大,对轴承内圈接触刚度与轴承径向刚度的影响会更加明显。因此,为使高速角接触球轴承的刚度分析更加精确、更加接近实际,必须考虑内圈离心位移的影响。

The dynamics of a bouncing ball with a sinusoidally vibrating table revisited

The dynamical behavior of a bouncing ball with a sinusoidally vibrating table is revisited in this paper. Based on the equation of motion of the ball, the mapping for period-1 motion is constructured and thereby allowing the stability and bifurcation conditions to be determined. Comparison with Holmes's solution [1] shows that our range of stable motion is wider, and through numerical simulations, our stability result is observed to be more accurate. The Poincaré mapping sections of the unstable period-1 motion indicate the existence of identical Smale horseshoe structures and fractals. For a better understanding of the stable and chaotic motions, plots of the physical motion of the bouncing ball superimposed on the vibration of the table are presented.

Double Hopf Bifurcations and Chaos of a Nonlinear Vibration System

A double pendulum system is studied for analyzing the dynamic behaviour near a critical point characterized by nonsemisimple 1:1 resonance. Based on normal form theory, it is shown that two phase-locked periodic solutions may bifurcate from an initial equilibrium, one of them is unstable and the other may be stable for certain values of parameters. A secondary bifurcation from the stable periodic solution yields a family of quasi-periodic solutions lying on a two-dimensional torus. Further cascading bifurcations from the quasi-periodic motions lead to two chaoses via a period-doubling route. It is shown that all the solutions and chaotic motions are obtained under positive damping.     

多种非线性力作用下不平衡弹性转子的分岔特性

研究了4自由度不平衡弹性转子在非线性油膜力、非线性内阻力和非线性弹性力联合作用下的动力学特性。结果表明，当只有非线性油膜力作用时，转子只存在由于油膜失稳而导致的倍周期分岔。而当非线性油膜力与非线性内阻力共同作用时，在油膜失稳后，转子产生低频振动。转速继续增加，还会诱发内阻失稳，产生概周期运动。在倍周期分岔中，存在分岔激变现象。本文发现的由于油膜涡动而导致的内阻失稳(概周期运动)是一种未见报道的转子失稳模式(组合失稳)，它与油膜失稳(倍周期运动)一起可作为转子故障诊断的典型失稳模式。     

Nonlinear resonances and self-excited oscillations of a rotor caused by radial clearance and collision

This paper investigates oscillations in a flexible rotor system with radial clearance between an outer ring of the bearing and a casing by experiments and numerical simulations. The mathematical model considers the collisions of the bearing with the casing. The following phenomena are found: (1) Nonlinear resonances of subharmonic, super-subharmonic and combination oscillation occur. (2) Self-excited oscillation of a forward whirling mode occurs in a wide range above the major critical speed. (3) Entrainment phenomena from self-excited oscillation to nonlinear forced oscillation occur at these nonlinear resonance ranges. Moreover, this study analyzes periodic solutions of the mathematical model by the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM). As the results, the nonlinear resonances of subharmonic oscillation and its entrainment phenomenon can be explained theoretically by investigating the stability of the periodic solutions. The influence of the static force and the bearing damping on these oscillation are also clarified.     

汽轮机转子在气流力和油膜力作用下的非线性动力学特性

为了分析转子在油膜力和气流激振力共同作用下的非线性振动特性，本文以短轴承支撑的不平衡刚性对称Jeffcott转子系统为研究对象，首先分析转子在非稳态油膜力作用下的振动特性，然后分析转子在油膜力和气流激振力共同作用下的非线性振动特性。采用数值模拟的方法研究了系统的分岔和混沌特性，计算结果表明，考虑气流激振力和油膜力共同作用下的转子系统与仅考虑油膜力的转子系统相比，在相对进气速度v=30m／s时，随着无量纲转速ω的增加。二者都出现了周期运动和混沌运动多次交替出现的复杂运动特性，但是前者首次出现倍周期分岔和混沌运动时的转运提前，在定转速情况下，随着v的增大，系统最终在经历周期运动之后进入混沌运动，而且圆盘中心的最大振幅随着v的增大而增大。     

Dynamics of a Jeffcott rotor-magnetic bearing system with time delays

A Jeffcott rotor with an additional magnetic bearing locating at the disc is employed to investigate the effect of time delays on the non-linear dynamical behavior of the system. The time delays are presented in the proportional and derivative feedback, respectively. For the corresponding autonomous system, a linear stability analysis is performed for the system with two identical time delays in the control loop. The nature of a single Hopf bifurcation is determined by constructing a center manifold. For the non-autonomous system, the primary resonance response is studied for its small non-linear motions using the method of averaging. The effects of time delays and control gains, as well as excitation amplitude, on the amplitude of the steady-state response are investigated. Finally, experiments are carried out to validate the theoretical predictions.
