Abstract
Due to the compressibility of gas, the aerodynamic bearings supported rotor system has strong nonlinearity. In this paper, the finite difference method is adopted to solve the Reynolds equation of the compressible fluid and obtain the forces of the gas film. Then the dynamic model of the aerodynamic bearing-rotor system is established, and the Runge-Kutta method is applied to solve the nonlinear equations of motion. With theories of nonlinear dynamics, the bifurcation characteristics of the rotor system supported by aerodynamic bearings are studied. Results show that the rotational speed and the unbalance has great influence on the nonlinear characteristics of the rotor, both periodic and non-periodic responses might emerge.
