In this paper, the nonlinear vibration behavior of a rotor with asymmetric shaft considering misalignment is studied. The system consists of a rectangular shaft and a disk which is connected to a motor through a flexible coupling. In order to consider higher order deformations, nonlinear Bernoulli beam is used for modeling the shaft. Gibbons’ equations are utilized to apply misaligned coupling ...

This paper presents the discussion of experimental results and numerical simulation of nonlinear phenomena in a flexible rotor system under mechanical resonance. The whirling motion of the first flexural mode of the rotor causes the hunting of its rotating speed. Hysteretic jump phenomena exist between the charge and the discharge of the rotation. It is shown that the quasi-periodicity of the w...

Dynamic interaction between two bodies, where one is significantly more flexible than the other, is common (e.g. rotor-casing contact). This paper presents a linear model for simulating contact between rigid and flexible bodies. The motion between contacts is predicted by modal superposition, using separate models for the two components. During contact, the models are coupled via a linear conta...

A Multivariable Control System is designed for an Electromagnetic Bearing and Rotating Shaft System. The Linear Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery (LQG/LTR) methodology is used to design a robust Model Based Compensator (MBC). The electromagnetic bearing consists of an electromagnetic actuator, operated in magnetic "attractive" force mode, with permanent magnet biased coils. The per...

Abstract Offshore extreme-scale turbines of 20–25 MW in size may offer reduced energy costs. The technical barriers at these extreme scales include escalating blade masses with increased flexibility as well high gravity loads and tower-strike issues. These be addressed a load-aligning downwind turbine. To investigate this type design, field test campaign was conducted an aeroelastically scaled ...

this work deals with effects of asymmetric stiffness on the dynamic behaviour of the rotor system. the analysis is presented through an extended lagrangian hamiltonian mechanics on the asymmetric rotor system, where symmetries are broken in terms of the rotor stiffness. the complete dynamics of asymmetries of rotor system is investigated with a case study. in this work, a mathematical model is ...
