There are several non-linear and time variant effects in a rotor-bearing dynamic system. The non-linear characteristics of the rolling element bearing, internal damping, unsymmetrical stiffness of the shaft, cracks on the shaft, and the radial clearance are the typical root causes of these effects [1]. As rotating speeds increase and rotor weights decrease, these non-linear and time variant eff...

A rotor-journal bearing system for a twin rotary compressor has been nlliDerically analyzed to estimate the reliability and to optimize the bearing design. For rotary compressors, large dynamic loads act on the rotor. They are unbalanced forces due to eccentric rotation parts and gas forces induced by the difference in pressure between compression and suction gases. In such a case, the rotor-jo...

Turbochargers are widely used on commercial automotive vehicles, power generation and marine applications. A comprehensive model for a turbocharger would be an effective tool for fault detection. In this paper, research focus on mathematical modelling of turbochargers supported on floating ring bearings in rotordynamics. Nonlinear hydrodynamic forces are considered in order to describe the dyna...

Aerodynamic bearings with elastically supported tilting pads have operational properties comparable with widely-used foil journal bearings. They combine the excellent stability of tilting pad bearings, as a result of very small cross-coupling stiffness terms, with the positive properties of foil bearings, namely their ability to adapt to changing operating conditions and presence of additional ...

Rotor dynamics plays an important role in many engineering fields such as gas turbine, steam turbine, reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, the spindle of machine tools, and so on. Owing to the growing demands for high power, high speed, and light weight of the rotor-bearing system, computations of critical speeds and steady-state response at synchronous and sub critical resonances become ...
