Abstract: Parameter identification procedures and model validation are major steps toward intelligent machines supported by active magnetic bearings (AMB). The ability of measuring the electromagnetic bearing ...

Abstract: The static and dynamic properties of tilting-pad journal bearings with controllable radial oil injection are investigated theoretically. The tilting pads are modeled as flexible structures and ...

Abstract: In this paper the feasibility of actively suppressing rotor and blade vibration via shaft-based actuation is studied. A mathematical model is derived, taking into account the special dynamical ...

Abstract: The possible contact between rotor and stator can for some cases be considered a serious malfunction that may lead to catastrophic failure. Rotor rub is considered a secondary phenomenon caused ...
