A misaligned rigid rotor system with flexible supports differing from the traditional system, which refers to its practical rotating center line determined by offset theoretical one, often suffers support structure damage risk. In present work, dynamic characteristics of a squirrel cage are focused, and vibrations stress structures under different offsets investigated experimental simulated ana...

tip leakage loss introduces major part of losses of the rotor in axial gas turbines. therefore, the rotor blade tip has a considerable effect on rotor efficiency. to understand the flow physics of the rotor tip leakage, we solve the flow field for different tip platforms (passive flow control) and by considering coolant tip injection (active flow control). various blade tip configurations such ...

This paper describes a revolutionary, fully-integrated approach for modeling the noise characteristics of maneuvering rotorcraft. The primary objective of this effort is the development of a physics-based software tool that enables the design of quiet rotors without performance penalties. This tool shall accurately predict the rotorcraft flight state and rotor trim, the unsteady aerodynamic loa...

This paper is concerned with modeling and active vibration control of a 1.23-m long flexible shaft on active magnetic bearings that is designed to model a small industrial compressor and to serve as a platform for investigating emerging control schemes. Aerodynamic cross-coupled stiffness is one of the main contributors to rotordynamic instability in modern turbo-machines. The destabilizing eff...
