Abstract
Under certain circumstances, the Alford force might induce instability of the rotor system. The mechanism and influence factors of the Alford force induced instability were analyzed with the Jeffcott rotor. Then a method for calculating the instability threshold was proposed. Finally, the optimization model of a high-speed micro-turbojet engine was established to optimize the instability threshold. The results show that the anisotropy of support stiffness and the damping ratio can both improve the threshold of instability. The instability threshold can be greatly improved by optimizing bearing stiffness and diameter of the rotor system.
