Dynamic Response Analysis of a Magnetically Suspended Dual-Rotor System Considering the Uncertainty of Interference-Fit Value

Abstract

Interference fit is often used in rotating machinery to transmit torque and force. The actual interference value is uncertain due to factors such as manufacturing errors and operating conditions, resulting in a gap between the response of the system and theoretical results. Therefore, the interval method is used to study the magnetically suspended dual-rotor system (MSDS) with uncertainty of interference-fit value. Firstly, a theoretical model of the MSDS was established using the finite element method, and the influence mechanism of the interference value on the rotor bending stiffness was derived. Then, the rotor stiffness range was obtained from the uncertain range of interference value. Finally, the dynamic response of the MSDS was studied based on the Chebyshev interval method. The research results indicate that the uncertainty of interference value has an effect on the vibration response of the MSDS. The vibration response of the system is most affected near the first-order bending critical speed, and the effect on rotor response is relatively small in other angular speed regions. The research results can provide a basis for the design of rotor systems.
