Synchronous Thermal Instability Evaluation of Medium Speed Turbocharger Rotor-Bearing Systems

Rotors in fluid-film bearing supported turbomachinery are known to develop elliptical orbits as a result of rotor-bearing interactions, mass unbalance within the rotor, gravitational bending of the shaft and external excitation. In synchronous whirl, where the speed at which the shaft travels about...
