Abstract
A dynamic model of a rotor-blade system is established considering the effect of nonlinear supports at both ends. In the proposed model, the shaft is modeled as a rotating beam where the gyroscopic effect is considered, while the shear deformation is ignored. The blades are modeled as Euler–Bernoulli beams where the centrifugal stiffening effect is considered. The equations of motion of the system are derived by Hamilton principle, and then, Coleman and complex transformations are adopted to obtain the reduced-order system. The nonlinear vibration and stability of the system are studied by multiple scales method. The influences of the normal rubbing force, friction coefficient, damping and support stiffness on the response of the rotor-blade system are investigated. The results show that the original hardening type of nonlinearity may be enhanced or transformed into softening type due to the positive or negative nonlinear stiffness terms of the bearing. Compared with the system with higher support stiffness, the damping of the bearing has a more powerful effect on the system stability under lower support stiffness. With the increase in rubbing force and support stiffness, the jump-down frequency, resonant peak and the frequency range in which the system has unstable responses increase.
