| Abstract: | In this paper, the response characteristics of dry friction backward whirl of a general rotor/stator model, which accounts for both the dynamics of the rotor and the stator as well as the friction and the deformation at the contact surfaces, are investigated. The existence boundaries and the whirl frequencies of the dry friction backward whirl are determined analytically. It is found that there are two or three existence boundaries of the dry friction backward whirl that usually form two existence regions, ... |
