Bearing Dynamic Parameters Identification For A Sliding Bearing-Rotor System With Uncertainty

Bearing dynamic parameters of a sliding bearing-rotor system are important factors to the vibration absorbing characteristics. It is a valuable method to identify bearing dynamic parameters based on the unbalance response. Nevertheless, in Engineer, the unbalance parameters are uncertain due to the structural complexity and manufacturing or measuring error. Thus, developing an efficient method to estimate the bearing dynamic parameters for the uncertain unbalance parameters seems more important and necessary. This paper presented an inverse method for identifying stably the bounds of bearing dynamic parameters with uncertain unbalance parameters based on dynamic load identification method and the interval analysis .In the method, bearing dynamic parameters identification problem is formulated as the oil film force reconstruction by considering the oil film supports as rotor load boundary conditions; the midpoint oil film force and the first derivative to each uncertain unbalance parameter need be calculated with the interval analysis; the bounds of bearing dynamic parameters can be finally identified based on the interval mathematics. Finally, the efficiency and robustness of the proposed method are verified by a numerical example.
