Abstract
The non-linear dynamic behaviors of a rotor-bearing-seal coupled system are investigated by using Muszynska’s non-linear seal fluid dynamic force model and non-linear oil film force, and the result from the numerical analysis is in agreement with the one from the experiment. The bifurcation of the coupled system is analyzed under different operating conditions. It is indicated that the dynamic behavior of the rotor-bearing-seal system depends on the rotation speed, seal clearance and seal pressure of the rotor-bearing-seal system. The system state trajectory, Poincare maps, frequency spectra and bifurcation diagrams are constructed to analyze the dynamic behavior of the rotor center. Various non-linear phenomena in the coupled system, such as periodic motion and quasi-periodic motion are investigated. The results show that the system has the potential for chaotic motion. The study may contribute to a further understanding of the non-linear dynamics of such a rotor-bearing-seal coupled system.
