Abstract: This paper considers two issues in the vibration of rotating machines, namely, control of rotor vibration and control of the forces transmitted to the base. An adaptive multi-objective method ...

Abstract: Auxiliary bearings are used to prevent rotor/stator contact in active magnetic bearing systems. They are sacrificial components providing a physical limit on the rotor displacement. During ...

Abstract: To prevent rotor/stator contact in a rotor/magnetic bearing system, auxiliary bearings may be located along the shaft and at the magnetic bearings. Rotor responses after a contact event may ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental assessment of the transient performance of a multi-objective adaptive approach to the control of flexible rotors. This is applicable to any arrangement of ...

Abstract: The paper considers three issues in flexible rotor and magnetic bearing systems, namely, the control of rotor vibration, control of transmitted forces, and prevention of rotor contact with ...
