Singularity analysis of Jeffcott rotor-magnetic bearing with time delays

Abstract

A Jeffcott rotor-magnetic bearing with time delays is investigated in this paper. Firstly, it is found that the characteristic equation of the system satisfies the conditions of the singularity. Secondly, the center manifold reduction and normal form are employed to study the bifurcation from simple zero and zero-purely imaginary singularities. The results of this paper will help to understand the influence of the time delays in feedback loop on the dynamics of rotor-magnetic bearing system.
