Nonlinear Vibration of Rotor Rubbing Stator Caused by Initial Perturbation

IntroductionThe rubbing ofa rotor on its stator has long been aserious problem in rotating machinery.Muszynska[1] gave a detailed discussion in1 989ofboth the major physical phenomena and thepublications to date. As pointed out in the survey,the literature on this subject was relatively scarceand incoherent at that time. Since then,thedevelopment of nonlinear theory has led to a seriesof works studying the rubbing problem by usingthe conceptof chaos[2 7] .Many papers focus on thechaotic behav…
