Abstract

A cracked rotor on flexible bearings is studied in this paper. The vibration of such a system has many complexities because of the crack and bearing flexibility. However, if the properties of the bearings are known, the system can be simplified by supposing that, the vibration due to weight is dominant. Equations of motion are derived, and a linear system in which the crack has been considered as an external disturbance described by a series of trigonometric functions is obtained. Consequently, the quasi-periodic vibrations of the rotor and bearings are established by harmonic balance method and approximate values of the vibration determined by truncating the higher order terms. It is believed that the simulated results will be useful for crack detection in the case of weight-dominant rotors.
