RESUMO

In this investigation, the analysis and validation of rotative system supported by hydrodynamic journal bearings was accomplished. A non-linear hydrodynamic bearing model was considered. The rotary shaft and rotor mass were modeled by The Finite Element Method. The combination of these models is able to simulate the system response to the auto-excitation caused by the oil film instabilities in the journal bearing. In order to calibrate the model, a metaheuristic method, based in Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing, was applied. After the model fitting, the simulation results, taking into account the fitting results, and experimental results acquired from the experimental set-up at the Rotating Machine Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Design of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty at UNICAMP. A special attention was directed to the hydrodynamic forces, because the dynamic bearing coefficients (stiffness and damping coefficients) were evaluated through simulated and experimental results. Moreover, non-linear coefficients of the forces were also estimated. These coefficients are related to quadratic terms of displacements and velocities and ççtheir combinations, highlighting the non-linear feature of this kind of bearing. The results showed hat the non-linear journal bearing model is able to represent the fluid-induced instability
