Abstract
- A numerical analysis of a rigid rotor supported by relatively short externally pressurized porous gas journal bearings is presented for nonlinear dynamic behavior and bifurcation. The compressible Reynolds' equation is solved by the finite differences method, and the successive over relaxation method and a time-dependent mathematical model for porous gas journal bearings are studied. A comparison of the results for the system state trajectory, Poincaré maps, power spectra, and bifurcation diagrams is made, and the dynamic behavior of the rotor center in the horizontal and vertical directions under different operating conditions is analyzed. The analysis shows the existence of a complex dynamic behavior comprising periodic and quasi-periodic response of the rotor center. This paper shows how the dynamic behavior of this type of system varies with changes in rotor mass and bearing number. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
