Abstract

Rotating machinery is widely used in civilian, aviation, aerospace, navigation, and other fields, and the stability behavior of the system dynamics is a prerequisite guaranteeing safe operation. In this paper, by using nonlinear dynamics theories, complicated transformation of the dynamic behaviors, Hopf bifurcation and 1■2 sub-harmonic resonance, was investigated on a rotor-seal system, and the conditions and mechanism of the dynamic behavior were obtained. Furthermore, the evolution of subharmonic resonance dynamics in the nonlinear rotor-seal system caused by self-excited vibration was analyzed. Based on the theoretical analysis, it is observed that the damping and stiffness parameters of the nonlinear rotor-seal system affect its system stability dynamics. Finally, numerical calculation verifies the results from the theoretical analysis. It is significant that the results of the theoretical analysis can explain the vibration behavior of the system and guide the structural design of the system in practical engineering.
