Abstract

Rubbing occurs when a rotor contacts with a stator during whirling motion of the rotor. Compared to full annular rub, partial rub against a nonrotating part is more common in practice. In this study, several partial rubbing phenomena of superharmonic and subharmonic vibrations and jump phenomenon are demonstrated experimentally for the cases of light and heavy rub for a flexible rotor. The orbit patterns of forward or backward whirling are also calculated using directional spectrum analysis. The occurrence if subharmonic vibration during heavy rub is demonstrated as one impact per two rotations both experimentally and numerically.
