Dynamical Behavior Analysis of Rubbing Rotor System under Asymmetric Oil Film Force

Abstract EN

Rubbing is one of the most common and significant faults that exist in the rotor system.

It exhibits extremely complicated dynamic behavior.

Existing dynamic models are primarily based on the symmetrical rotor structure, in which the oil film forces at both ends of support are considered identical.

However, in practice, the oil film force may be differently affected by multiple factors (e.g., viscosity of lubricants, the thickness of oil film, and clearance of journal bearing).

In this study, a novel dynamic model of the rubbing rotor system under asymmetric oil film force was developed.

Furthermore, based on the nonlinear rotor dynamic theory, its dynamic behavior with different parameters was analyzed, and the corresponding chaotic features were extracted.

The results indicated that the evolution law of chaotic motion was more complicated, and the chaotic region of system response was obviously wider under the asymmetric oil film force than the symmetrical oil film force.
