Abstract
Abstract
In this paper different lumped parameters models are presented for the stability analysis of rotors supported on gas bearings. The analysis is carried out taking into account the damping and stiffness coefficients of journal bearings, calculated with the perturbation method. Lumped parameters models of different complexity are discussed for the description of the main rigid modes of the spindle. In case of symmetric systems, it is shown that the complexity of the model can be reduced by halving the number of the degrees of freedom. The analogy with the single mass approach is demonstrated. The considerations discussed in the paper are preliminary for the stability analysis of more complex systems, such as the ones with non-fixed bushes.
