Abstract

The global dynamics of a continuum rotor excited by nonlinear oilfilm force and electromagnetic force is investigated. The governing equation of the system is obtained using the Galerkin’s method. The dynamical systems are reduced into two 2-dimensional systems in Yand Z-directions. The analytical conditions for global transversality and tangency to the separatrix are presented. The global and local dynamics of the system is determined through the G-function and G(1)-function and is compared to numerical solution. The periodicity of periodic flow of the rotor is determined by the L-function. The complexity of the nonlinear continuum rotor system is demonstrated through global transversality and tangency of the periodic motions to separatrix.
