In this study, the nonlinear dynamic analysis of the hybrid squeeze film damper mounted on a gear-rotor-bearing system is presented. The strong nonlinear oil film force, nonlinear rub-impact force between the rotor and stator, and the gear meshing force are considered in this study. The bifurcation diagrams are plotted using a dimensionless imbalance factor, damping coefficient, and speed ratio as control parameters in this study. The beginning of chaotic motion is identified by phase diagrams, power spectrum, Poincaré maps, bifurcation diagrams, maximum Lyapunov exponent, and the fractal dimension of the system. The numerical results provide useful insights into the design and development of a gear-rotorbearing system for rotating machinery that operates at high speeds and highly nonlinear conditions. Hybrid squeeze film damper is used to suppress irregular dynamic behaviors and reduce greater amplitude, even if the rotational speed of the rotating machine is higher, which is also confirmed in this study.
IntroductionGears play an important role in the transmission system, especially for rotor bearing systems and turbomachinery, therefore, the consideration of gears transmission in rotor-bearing systems is needed. The rub-impact effect is a common and important phenomenon that occurs between the rotor and the stator. These effects may cause the rotating system to become instable. The dynamic analysis of the gear-rotor-bearing system with rub-impact effect is therefore important for analyzing rotating machinery. In order to control the dynamic stability of the gearrotor-bearing system with the shock effect, we take the hybrid squeeze film damper (HSFD) to control this kind of system. The HSFD is actually a useful tool, and has been well developed and used in many fields. A squeeze-film damper bearing is actually a special type of journal bearing with its journal mechanically prevented from rotating, but it is free to vibrate within the clearance space. The squeezing action produces hydrodynamic forces in the fluid film. A squeeze-film damper bearing can be designed such that the journal can statically find its own position within the clearance, or be held centrally within the clearance, by retaining the springs. If the retaining springs are
