Abstract

Rotor-stator rubbing phenomenon is a very common fault in various engineering applications. Usually, the stator supports are assumed to be symmetric, however, in some conditions, the stator support stiffness is anisotropic in nature. In this paper, an approximate analytical solution for the rub interactions between a Jeffcott rotor and an asymmetrically supported stator is introduced. The present problem is a good example of piecewise nonlinear dynamics in which contact causes the system to switch between linear and nonlinear dynamic behavior. To evaluate an analytical solution to the contact equations, Taylor’s expansion is used to linearize the contact forces. Then, an analytical solution is introduced based on this approximation. To investigate the validity of the present model, the proposed approximate analytical solution is compared with the numerical solution obtained using direct numerical integration for the same problem. The results show that the proposed piecewise analytical solution is efficient in evaluating the system response for both periodic and chaotic responses.
