In this paper, it is shown that uniqueness, bifurcation and stability in the sense of Hill can be obtained for associated friction, via the established asymptotic equivalence with elastic-perfect plasticity, when the intermediate elastic-plastic layer tends towards the contact interface. The problem formulation and its discretization by the finite element method then lead to the solving of an eigenvalue problem in the vicinity of the limit state for which a static condensation can be performed on the discrete contact interface.

In this paper, a comprehensive nonlinear model of an imbalanced flexible rotor system is proposed, in which translational–torsional coupling and angular–torsional coupling are introduced simultaneously. Based on the model, the lateral–torsional coupling features are discussed, and the lateral as well as the torsional vibration behaviors are further analyzed in detail. The results show that the lateral–torsional coupling factors only exist under the nonsynchronous whirl condition. Thus, if the imbalance is small, the lateral vibration exhibits the linear feature of a traditional unbalanced response, and the torsional vibration does not occur in steady state. However, under substantially unbalanced conditions, the vibration responses are significantly changed. In lateral vibration, many combined frequency components between rotation frequency (<em>f</em><sub>u</sub>) and torsional natural frequency (<em>f</em><sub>t1</sub> and <em>f</em><sub>t2</sub>) such as <em>f</em><sub>u</sub>-<em>f</em><sub>t1</sub>, <em>f</em><sub>u</sub>-2<em>f</em><sub>t1</sub> and <em>f</em><sub>u</sub>-<em>f</em><sub>t2</sub> can be induced, which can lead to combined resonance phenomena and many additional resonance peaks. The lateral–torsional coupling effect is strong at that time. Both the lateral translational–torsional coupling excitation and lateral angular–torsional coupling excitation exhibits the multiple harmonics whose frequencies are closely related to <em>f</em><sub>t1</sub> and <em>f</em><sub>t2</sub>. Consequently, the torsional vibration in those combined resonance regions can be very high.
