Abstract:Based on the limiting shear stress model, we used a multi-linearity finite element algorithm and quadratic programming technique to study the influence of wall slip (boundary slip) on the operation stability of a rigid rotor-bearing system. The shaft surface is designed as a no-slip surface. The bearing sleeve surface is designed as three types of surfaces: (a) no slip is allowed (traditional no-slip rotor-bearing system), (b) the entire sleeve surface has the same slip property (the homogeneous slip bearing), and (c) the sleeve surface is optimized to have an optimized slip zone (the optimized slip bearing). It is found that if the sleeve surface has a single slip property, the wall slip generally reduces the system operation stability, as well as the load-carrying capacity. However, if the sleeve surface is designed as the optimized slip surface, the wall slip enhances the system operation stability as well as the load-carrying capacity. Furthermore, the smaller the surface limiting shear stress, the better the dynamic stability and the higher the load-carrying capacity.
