Research of the internal resonances on a nonlinear dual-rotor based on the energy tracks shifting

摘要

The complex coupling characteristics of a dual-rotor system make the mechanism of nonlinear vibrations different from that of a single rotor system. Research of nonlinear vibration of the dual-rotor is beneficial to improve the stability of an aero-engine. Based on nonlinear spring characteristics of rotors, a novel nonlinear dual-rotor dynamics model coupled by the inter-shaft bearing is proposed, and internal resonances on the dual-rotor system are systematically studied. Considering nonlinearities, internal resonance phenomena occurring in the vicinity of the coupling critical rotational speed are systematically analyzed by numerical simulation results such as time histories, Poincare maps, bifurcation maps and largest Lyapunov exponents. Theoretical solutions are calculated based on the improved shooting method and stabilities of theoretical solutions are investigated by using the Floquet theory. The theoretical solutions are consistent with numerical simulation results well. The concepts of the energy track shifting, the energy-Poincare map, stabilities of energy tracks and the energy supplying function are introduced to analyze nonlinear vibration characteristics for the first time. The internal resonance phenomena of the low pressure rotor and the complex nonlinear vibrations of the high pressure rotor are qualitatively analyzed based on the energy viewpoint, and the energy tracks are verified by experiments. Research shows that energy tracks can characterize vibration characteristics well and the energy supplying function provide a possible way to quantify the energy transfer between rotors in the multi-rotor system.
