Abstract
The whirling behavior in rotor systems is an indicator for rotor health monitoring. The abnormal whirling is the first sign for faults appearance in rotor systems. The excitation of backward whirling is associated with the shaft or bearing stiffness content. Nonsynchronous whirl near resonance speeds significantly affects rotor faults in rotor systems. The response of intact and cracked rotors in the presence of rotor-stator rubbing is significantly altered by the nonsynchronous whirling which further complicates the dynamical behavior of the rotor during its transient operation. In cracked rotors, the post-resonance backward whirl (Po-BW) excitation was proven to exist due to crack propagation and bearing anisotropy. Therefore, the influence of nonsynchronous whirl in association with rub-impact and breathing crack on the presence of Po-BW in intact and cracked rotor systems is numerically and experimentally investigated in the present research. The Jeffcott rotor and the finite element models are employed for numerical simulation during transient operation conditions. According to the obtained numerical and experimental whirl response results, the backward whirl phenomena can be now classified into three categories - pre-resonance, resonance and post-resonance backward whirls. Robust experimental evidence of the presence of Resonance-BW and Po-BW excitations in cracked and healthy rotor systems with rub-impact is analyzed which provides further insights on the effect of multiple faults on BW excitations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sound and Vibration (JSV) is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers, both theoretical and experimental, that provide new information on any aspect of sound or vibration. There is an emphasis on fundamental work that has potential for practical application.
JSV was founded and operates on the premise that the subject of sound and vibration requires a journal that publishes papers of a high technical standard across the various subdisciplines, thus facilitating awareness of techniques and discoveries in one area that may be applicable in others.
