Failure Analysis and Optimization of the Rotor System in a Diesel Turbocharger for Rotor Speed-Up Test

During turbocharger rotor speed-up tests, the sensor installed in the compressor greatly affects the rotor dynamics. The effect of the floating bearing stiffness coefficient on the critical rotational speeds and the shaft dynamic response due to the unbalanced mass were both analyzed using rotor dyn...
