“…Many theoretical studies, numerical calculations and measurements have been carried out to determine the effect of the self-excited vibration due to seals or bearings, for example, in papers by Qin et al [1], Jing et al [2], Jiao et al [3], Xia et al [4], Akhmetkhanov et al [5], Hua et al [6], Ding et al [7] and Li et al [8]. However, in the published papers, only a single factor, bearing or seal fluid force, is taken into account in studying the dynamics of a rotor system.…”
