Abstract: The Morton effect (ME) is a thermally induced vibration problem observed in a rotor supported by hydrodynamic bearings. The journal’s synchronous orbiting induces nonuniform viscous heating on its circumference, and the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the journal asymmetric temperature-induced thermal bow vibration of a rotor, as supported by a flexure pivot journal bearing (FPJB). Thermal bow-induced vibration, known as the Morton effect (ME), ...

Abstract: Nonlinear elements found in fluid film journal bearings and their surrounding structures are known to induce sub- and super-synchronous, chaos and thermally induced instability responses in rotor-bearing systems. The current ...

Abstract: Supercritical CO2 (SCO2) power cycles offer significant advantages in terms of thermal efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits. However, the successful implementation of these cycles depends on the design ...

Abstract: The Morton effect (ME) is a synchronous vibration problem in turbomachinery caused by the nonuniform viscous heating around the journal circumference, and its resultant thermal bow (TB) and ensuing synchronous vibration. ...
