Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Porous Air Bearing System

Abstract:

The chaos and nonlinear dynamic behaviors of porous air bearing system are studied by a hybrid numerical method combining the finite difference method (FDM) and differential transformation method (DTM). The numerical results are verified by two different schemes including hybrid method and FDM and the current analytical results are found to be in good agreement. Furthermore, the results reveal the changes which take place in the dynamic behavior of the bearing system as the rotor mass is increased. From the dynamic responses of the rotor center, they reveal complex dynamic behaviors including periodic, sub-harmonic motion and chaos. The results of this study provide an understanding of the nonlinear dynamic behavior of PAB systems characterized by different rotor masses. Specifically, the results have shown that system exists chaotic motion over the ranges of rotor mass 10.66≤ M_r<13.7kg. The proposed method and results provide an effective means of gaining insights into the porous air bearing systems.
