Abstract
Using a lumped mass model of a single rub-impact rotor system considering the gyroscopic effect, the stability and steady-state response of the rotor system are investigated in this paper. The contact between the rotor and the stator is described by the simple Coulomb friction and piecewise linear spring models. An algorithm combining harmonic balance method with pseudo arc-length continuation is adopted to calculate the steady-state vibration response of a nonlinear system. Meanwhile, Hill’s method is used to analyze the stability of the system. The nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system are investigated when the gap size, stator stiffness and unbalance are regarded as the control parameters. The results show that the gap size determines the location of the rub-impact; besides, the smaller gap can improve the stability of the system. The unsteady motion can be found as the stator stiffness increases. Moreover, the unbalance directly affects vibration amplitude, which becomes greater with the increasing imbalance.
