This paper presents a novel dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) to suppress the unbalance response of flexible rotor-bearing systems. The DVA unit consists of two DVAs, an adapter to place the DVAs and an adapter frame to locate the adapter. The essential feature of the proposed DVA unit is to place itself on any desirable location of the shaft without disassembling the rotor-bearing system under consideration. A simulation with a 3D element based commercial rotor dynamic software is made to test the possibility of the proposed DVA on the suppression of unbalance response in rotor-bearing systems. Experiments are performed to validate the proposed DVA unit. The simulation and experiments show that the proposed DVA unit is very effective to suppress the unbalance response in rotor-bearing system at designated rotational speeds of interest.

Steam turbines, gas turbines, multistage centrifugal compressors are operated over the range of the first critical speed. In these rotors flexible rotor balancing technique is necessary. In such balancing, influence coefficients are measured by rotating a rotor with trial weight. But for the large rotor, the measurement of influence coefficient takes much time and it reduces the cost efficiency. In this paper the new influence coefficient with rotation of rotor is proposed. First the theoretical background of the method is presented and it is applied to the simple flexible rotor model. Then the experiments are performed and the results of presented method are compared with those of analytical method. By using the obtained influence coefficient, balancing of the flexible rotor is performed.
