Abstract:
Gas turbine generator sets are widely used in IGCC system, gas-steam combine cycle, distributed energy system et al. for its advantages of low pollution, high efficiency, quick start and stop. The structure of gas turbine rotor can be divided into integral rotor and rod-fastened rotor. Experimental study shows that the vibration signal, especially the displacement signal, of the rod-fastened rotor will increase/decrease greatly in a small interval of rotating speed. The reason for this phenomenon is the unique structure of the rod-fastened rotor, namely the interfaces between discs. In this paper, based on the Lagrange equation, the equation of motion of a rod-fastened rotor-bearing system considering the damping of the contact interface is established. The bistable behaviour and hysteretic cycle, also called the jumping phenomenon in engineering, are revealed. In addition, a test bench of the rod-fastened rotor-bearing system is built. The bistable behaviour and hysteretic cycle are experimentally proven, and the effect of the eccentric distance of the rotor on the bistable behaviour is experimentally explored.
