The purpose of present paper is to prove an improvement on stability of plane Journal bearing due to the leaf spring damper(LSD) experimentally A flexible rotor system is designed and manufackuea in order to generate oil whip instability of journal bearing at relative lower rotating speed. Vibration amplitude and instability onset speeds are investigated for a conventional plane journal bearing and plane journal bearing with LSD. To investigate the damping effects of LSD on stability of bearing, experiments are also conducted on the leaf spring dampers with and without working oil. It is found that the leaf spring damper can considerably increase the instability onset speed of a plane journal bearing.

This paper presents a finite element method to analyze the free vibration of a flexible HDD composed of the spinning disk-spindle system with fluid dynamic bearings(FDBs), the head-suspension-actuator with pivot bearings, and the base plate with complicated geometry. Experimental modal testing shows that the proposed method well predicts tue vibration characteristics of a HDD. This research also shows that even the vibration motion of the spinning disk corresponding to half-speed whirl and the pure disk mode are transferred to a head-suspension-actuator and base plate through the air bearing and the pivot bearing consecutively. The proposed method can be effectively extended to investigate the forced vibration of a HDD and to design a robust HDD against shock.

The critical speeds and mode shapes are most important to determine the behaviors of rotor in designing rotating machinery. As the capacity and span of turbine-generator increases, the turbine-generator system is composed of many components such as bearings, pedestal, turbine and hood and so on. Also, it is getting flexible and has many critical speeds. Especially, as the characteristics of bearing-pedestal are very complicated, they affect the entire vibration characteristics of turbine-generator system. In this paper, it is observed how to determine the equivalent dynamic stiffness of bearing-pedestal by analytical and experimental method.

Four new types of squeeze film dampers have been experimentally investigated to develop a practical and effective damper for flexible rotors. The cylindrical bush damper was selected as the best one among them and applied in a test rotor supported on ball bearings. A stable running of the rotor exceeding the critical speed was observed.

In this paper, the finite element modeling of the RK4 rotor kit system (RK4) and then frequency analysis and transient analysis, and was compared with the actual experimental results. RK4 manufactured by General Electric for the purpose of education and research. It is composed of two shaft, Two shaft is connected using a flexible coupling, one disk is mounted. The analytical model is modeled by using the ANSYS finite element analysis program commercially available. Based on impact hammer test results, material properties and the stiffness of the bearing and coupling was tuned. Considering the operating conditions and the vibration response of the analytical model were compared with experimental results.

A disk rotor dynamic analysis program called by DR. DAP is developed for disk drive spindle systems to analyze dynamic characteristics in operation and to estimate the effects of excitation sources. It is applicable to design for stabilization and to select parts of disk drive spindle systems. The disk drive spindle system in this program is modeled as a flexible shaft with multiple flexible disks, which is supported by bearings and driven by electric motor, and its complicated coupled vibration characteristics are analyzed by using a substructure synthesis technique with the assumed-modes method. All the coupled modes of interest can be well predicted by the example of a three disk hard disk drive with the three tuning parameters. It is also shown that, with the introduction of the excitation sources associated with the defects of ball bearing systems, the magnetic unbalance of spindle motor, the program can well predict the stability of the system, i.e., the possibility of resonance.

The classical spectral analysis of random vibration is not applicable to the random vibration of nonlinear structures or the dynamic response of active mechanical systems whose governing equations contain random parametric and inhomogeneous excitations. If the random load is simulated, dynamic responses can be obtained with the application of numerical integration schemes to the governing equations of above problems. Thus, in this paper, efficient and practical methods of simulating nonstationary random seismic ground accelerations are presented by using the fast Fourier transform technique. Typical applications of the simulated ground accelerations are the simulations of the dynamic response of rotor-bearing systems under earthquake excitations. The study of accuracy is presented to determine the applicability and practicality of methods of simulation.
