Abstract
The performance and efficiency of the mechanical system usually depend on the coordination between the rotor and other mechanical components. Due to the sliding motion between the coupling teeth, investigating the instability of the rotor is essential. The action of the coupling can cause changes in the seal performance. The article establishes a nonlinear dynamic rotor model that considers the coupling of internal friction and labyrinth seal, which is a dimensionless treatment and seeks to use the numerical method. The study investigated the impact of various parameters such as axial pressure drops, seal clearance, and seal length. Exploring the change of rotor system stability under the coupling effect of internal friction and labyrinth seal. By combining time history, bifurcation, and axis center trajectory analyze the dynamic characteristics, motion state, and seal force. The results indicate that the rotor system's stability decreases as speed increases with increased vibration amplitude. The increase in axial pressure drop causes the rotor system motion bifurcation point to advance, but it can suppress the offset at the first-critical speed. The increase in seal length can improve the seal effect, but the unstable speed becomes advanced, and the system stability is reduced. This study considers multiple factors and provides theoretical support for the dynamic design of the rotor system.
