Simulation And Experiment Analyses On Resonance For A Rotor System With Elastic Supports

There exist different vibration patterns when a rotor system runs up and down through its critical speed, in one of them, is the interesting phenomenon called frequency capture. Based on a specially designed rotor system which is supported by elastic supports, the resonance vibrations of frequency capture and pass-through are discussed both in time and frequency domains. The nonlinear dynamical equations are described in details for the system. The vibrations of capture, when the rotating speed is locked, are compared with normal pass-through by numerical simulations and experiments. Also the instantaneous displacement trajectories, 3D FFT waterfalls and phase space portraits are calculated and demonstrated for the above two resonance vibrations. In addition, the periodical motions are discussed for capture motions using both amplitude spectra and pseudo-Poincare mappings of simulation and experiment data.
