Sl. Chen et M. Geradin, FINITE-ELEMENT SIMULATION OF NONLINEAR TRANSIENT NONLINEAR TRANSIENT-RESPONSE RESPONSE DUE TO ROTOR-STATOR CONTACT, Engineering computations, 14(6-7), 1997, pp. 591
The non-linear dynamics due to rotor-stator contact is simulated using
the finite element method. Develops and describes a general contact f
inite element. By implementing this element into a powerful multibody
dynamics software, different rotor global motions are analysed. Specia
l attention is also given to determine the effects of rotation speed a
nd friction on the rotor orbit during contact.
