Nonlinear Vibrations of Rotor-Bearing Systems Supported by Squeeze Film Dampers Due to Unbalance Excitation

2021-11-01
In this paper, nonlinear dynamic behaviors of a multi-mass flexible rotor-bearing system supported by short length Squeeze Film Damper (SFD) due to the unbalance excitation are presented. The rotordynamic model of the system is developed by using 1D Timoshenko beam elements for flexible shafts, lumped inertias for disks, linear springs and viscous dampers for bearings and structural damping for the system. The nonlinear SFD model is based on the analytical solution of Reynolds equation for open ends short length SFDs assuming circular-centered orbit motion. The SFD’s nonlinear damping coefficient matrix and mass coefficient matrix generated because of fluid inertia are obtained. In this model, rotor system matrices and nonlinear SFD coefficient matrices are incorporated to obtain the full system mass, gyroscopic, damping and stiffness matrices. Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) is used to represent the resulting nonlinear differential equations of motion as a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. Newton’s Method with arc-length continuation is utilized as the solution method for the set of nonlinear algebraic equations obtained. A rotor of a small turbojet engine, details of which is available in the literature, is considered as an example. Different nonlinear responses of the rotordynamic system are investigated in order to observe the effects of SFD’s diameter, clearance and length parameters and the amount of unbalance loadings and their locations.

In this thesis, nonlinear vibration analysis of both fixed L-shaped beam and L-shaped beam attached to a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system is performed for several cases with different structural parameters to observe the effect of these parameters. Then these beams are proposed to reduce the vibration amplitudes of certain structures, and the nonlinear effects on the dynamic responses of these structures are investigated. The nonlinear dynamic model of the L-shaped beam is obtained by using Euler-Bern...

A three dimensional finite element modeling approach is used to evaluate the effects of preliminary design variables on the performance of tapered composite laminates under tensile loading. Hashin failure criteria combined with a progressive failure algorithm is used for in-plane failure mechanisms and cohesive zone method is used for out-of-plane failures. The modeling approach is validated by a comparison with experimental results from literature. The validated model is used to examine various design vari...

Karaağaçlı, Taylan; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-12-24)
In this work, two novel nonlinear system identification methods are proposed in both the modal and spatial domains, respectively, based on response-controlled stepped-sine testing (RCT) where the displacement amplitude of the excitation point is kept constant throughout the frequency sweep. The proposed nonlinear modal identification method, which is also a nonlinear experimental modal analysis technique, applies to systems with several nonlinearities at different (and even unknown) locations (e.g. joint no...
