Description
Summary:A nonlinear dynamic model of a rotor supported by the turbulent journal bearing with quadratic damping under nonlinear suspension is presented in this study, and the lubricating oil is assumed to be temperature-dependent. The bifurcation diagrams, dynamic trajectories, power spectra, Poincaré map, Lyapunov exponent, and fractal dimension are used to verify the dynamic characteristics of the rotor-bearing system, and abundant subharmonic, and even chaotic motions are found. Temperature is one of the key parameters affecting the dynamic responses of the system, and the dynamic responses will perform non-periodic or even chaotic motions with higher working temperatures of lubricant fluid, as proved in this study. Nonlinear dynamic simulation analysis results will help engineers avoid unnecessary trial and error when designing and applying rotating machinery systems.
