Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Rotor-Bearing System with Cubic Nonlinearity

Figure 3

Bifurcation diagrams of the nondimensional displacement in x-direction X1 versus the rotational speed Ω1 rad/s for the clearance  = 10 μm. The jumping phenomenon occurs in the orange circles; chaotic motion occurs in the green circles. (a)  = 0 N/m3; (b)  = 3 × 1015 N/m3; (c)  = 3 × 1016 N/m3; (d)  = 3 × 1017 N/m3.
