The results of analytical and experimental research on rotor-to-stationary element rubbing in rotating machines are presented. A characterization of physical phenomena associated with rubbing, as well as a literature survey on the subject of rub is given. The experimental results were obtained from two rubbing rotor rigs: one, which dynamically simulates the space shuttle main engine high pressure fuel turbopump (HPFTP), and the second one, much simpler, a two-mode rotor rig, designed for more generic studies on rotor-to-stator rubbing. Two areas were studied: generic rotor-to-stator rub-related dynamic phenomena affecting rotating machine behavior and applications to the space shuttle HPFTP. An outline of application of dynamic stiffness methodology for identification of rotor/bearing system modal parameters is given. The mathematical model of rotor/bearing/seal system under rub condition is given. The computer program was developed to calculate rotor responses. Compared with experimental results the computed results prove an adequacy of the model.read more

Effect of gravity-induced asymmetry on the nonlinear vibration of an overhung rotor
TL;DR: The bifurcation plots show that gravity plays a crucial role in the nonlinear dynamics of an aero-engine systems and the dynamics observed are much richer and show additional multi-periodic and chaotic solutions in the stationary frame and continuous contact.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the numerical modeling of thermal effects within the abradable layer during contact interactions and compare it with experimental data using a dedicated thermal finite element mesh.
Flexible Multi-Body Simulation of a Complex Rotor System Using 3D Solid Finite Elements
TL;DR: The current thesis investigates the question of whether general-purpose FE-codes currently offer sufficient capabilities to perform challenging rotordynamic analyses and uses ABAQUS to set up a flexible multi-body simulation using 3D solid finite elements.

Dynamic stress prediction method for rubbing blades
TL;DR: The transient nonlinear finite element analysis was transformed into the static analysis in the present method, so it significantly raised the solution efficiency and dynamic stress prediction and parameter analysis of a rubbing blade were studied.
