Abstract
This paper presents a mathematical model to investigate a nonlinear vibration behavior of a rotor-bearing system due to combined localized defect of inner race and outer race. Here shaft-rotor bearing system is modeled as a seven degree of freedom. In the mathematical formulation, contacts between rolling elements and inner and outer races are considered as nonlinear springs as well as hysteretic damping is also taken into consideration. The governing equations of motion are formulated using energy approach. Contact force calculation having nonlinearity are solved by using Newton–Raphson method for n-unknown nonlinear simultaneous equations. Equations of motions are solved by implicit type numerical integration method by Newmark integration algorithm. A computer code is developed to simulate the results in the form of time domain and frequency domain. Results are obtained in the form of time domain and frequency domain. The analytical results are also compared with the experimental results.
