Abstract

A new method for analyzing periodic response of rotor dynamic system with nonlinear supports is presented in this paper. Based on a finite element formulation in the time domain, this method transforms nonlinear differential equations governing the dynamic behavior of rotor-bearing system into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations that can be reduced and calculated by the characteristic set of Wu elimination method. The analytic solution of the nodal displacement has been obtained finally. According to this result the behavior of periodic response is analyzed. The feasibility and advantage of the proposed method are illustrated with an example of flexible Jeffcott rotor-bearing system with nonlinear supports.
