Eliminating the Fluid-Induced Vibration and Improving the Stability of the RotorSeal System Using the Inerter-Based Dynamic Vibration Absorber

Abstract EN

A theoretical research on eliminating the instability vibration and improving the stability of the rotor/seal system using the inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber (IDVA) is presented in this paper.

The modified Jeffcott rotor and Muszynska nonlinear seal force models are employed.

The proposed IDVA is the damping element of the traditional dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) replaced by one of the six configurations of the inerter.

The instability threshold speed of the system is obtained by applying the Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion.

The quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) method is utilized to optimize the parameters of the IDVA.

The numerical method is applied to investigate the nonlinear dynamic responses and stability.

The results show that the IDVA can effectively improve the stability and reduce the instability vibration of the rotor/seal system.

Furthermore, the performance of the IDVA is more effective than that of the traditional DVA.
