Vibration Suppression of Nonlinear Rotor Systems Using a Dynamic Damper

Abstract

Due to the inevitable imbalance of rotating machinery, resonance occurs when the rotational speed is in the vicinity of the critical speed. A rotor system supported by a single-row deep groove ball bearing shows nonlinear spring characteristics due to the clearance of bearings. In this article, passive vibration control of nonlinear rotor systems using a dynamic damper is studied. Theoretical analysis is performed to investigate the influence of nonlinearity on the vibration characteristics of controlled rotor systems, and the theoretical results obtained are confirmed by experiments. An example shows that the fixed-point theorem for optimization of the dynamic damper cannot be used when the rotor system has an isotropic symmetrical nonlinearity. The Newton-Raphson method is used to determine the optimal parameters of the dynamic damper for the nonlinear rotor, and passive vibration control utilizing the dynamic damper is achieved in the nonlinear rotor system.
