Abstract
Loosening of multiple tie rods in a circumferential rod-fastening rotor caused by thermal deformation and centrifugal loads is very common in engineering. The relative position of loose tie rods in the circumferential direction will also have an important impact on rotor dynamics. The relevant research has not been done yet. In this paper, a contact model of the rough machined surface is firstly established by combining the probability functions describing rough surfaces and fractal contact theory of asperities, then the contact stiffness model between disks is established based on the contact model. Finally, the dynamic model of the circumferential rod-fastening rotor-bearing-seal system is established and solved. The effect of relative phase of loose tie rods on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of rod-fastening rotor-bearing-sealing system is studied. It can be concluded that relative phase of the loose tie rod has an important influence on the frequency, bifurcation, and periodic motion of the rotor system. At lower speed, the anisotropy of contact stiffness caused by loose tie rods has little effect on the rotor trajectory, while the generalized bending moment has a greater influence on dynamics of the system. At higher speed, the anisotropy of contact stiffness has a great influence on the axis rail of the rod-fastening rotor.
