Radial gap function ℎ(1199091) could be determined geo-metrically (see Figure 1) (coordinates and velocities of thecenter of the rotor are indicated with the capital letters whilethe coordinates and the velocities of the fluid medium areindicated with the lower case letters)

Oscillationsrsquo velocity of the rotor is significantly lessthan tangential velocity of journalrsquos surface 1205961198632 so thesolution of (5) is linked to solution of the steady-statefluidrsquos flow problem solution So time as variable couldbe neglected during calculation of oil film force (4) Thissignificantly simplifies the procedure of numerical solution ofrotor dynamics problems [1 6] Three basic approaches havebeen considered and are characterized by different methodsof oil film forces determination

The first approach called trajectory method [1ndash4 6] isbased on solution of Reynolds equation (1) followed by inte-gration of pressure distribution and determination of 119877119894 (4)Such approach is considered referential due to high precisionand however has low performance in computational termssince the Reynolds equation has to be solved at each time step

The second approach called the method of linearizationof the oil film force determination [1ndash4 6] is based on thedecomposition of reaction force components 119877119894 into theTaylor series in the proximity of the equilibrium position119883119864119894 The matrices of stiffness 119870 and damping 119861 calculated in theequilibrium position shall be introduced as follows

Then the motion equation of the rotor (5) with givenoperational conditions of the rotor system and given the

linearization of the filmrsquos reaction forces will be as follows [1ndash4 6 24]

The equilibrium point 119883119864119894 can be determined using thetrajectory approach In many practical applications the equi-librium locus curve is calculated to solve problems of rotordynamics [1ndash4 6]The points on this curve correspond to theequilibrium positions at various rotational speeds Necessityto determine the equilibrium position or the equilibriumlocus curve complicates the method of linearization

The third approach is based on a neural network programmodule to approximate the oil film forcersquos components119877119894 andto solve (5) A two-layer feed-forward neural network withinputs 119880119896 (119896 = 1 119873inp) and outputs 119884119894 (119894 = 1 119873out)is used (see Figure 2) The functionality of the network isdetermined by specifying the strengths of the connectionscalledweights119908 and the neuron transfer function119891 [25]Themathematical model of the used neural network is

In the present paper the components of the oil film force119884119894 = 119877119894 are considered as outputs and four or five kinematicvalues depending on the problem are considered inputs = [1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] or = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] where 119899 isthe rotorrsquos speed

As a result of numerical tests a calculation time of1 sec of rotor motion was determined given the action ofdimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 16 (see Figure 4)It could be seen that the calculation time of rotor dynamicscalculation using the linearization approach is the least inthe whole range Application of the neural network moduleincreased the machine time up to 15ndash2 times under givenconditions Application of trajectory approach increased thecalculation time up to 60ndash90 times compared to the lineariza-tion approach It is indicative that calculation time of rotordynamics using linearization approach and neural networkapproach is faster than the flow of real time in the wholerange This fact means that the application of linearizationor neural network approaches in a real rotational machinecontrol system would make it possible to obtain results ofprognostic modeling [20 33 34]

As a result of another series of numerical tests the tra-jectories have been calculated for a dimensionless centrifugalforce Δ1205962119892 = 08 25 (see Figure 5) Calculated rotormotionrsquos time was set to 1 sec The simulation started atthe equilibrium point 119883119864119894 the trajectory approach taken asreferential The relative error of calculation has been chosenas quantitative criteria of accuracy evaluation

The quality analysis of stability of calculated trajectorieshas been implemented based on the Poincare maps [27ndash29] The point were displayed at moments of time that weremultiples of the period of rotation of the rotor 119879 = 1119899It could be seen from the Poincare maps (see Figure 5)that in the given range of loads the rotorrsquos trajectoriesare quasiperiodic This results from the fact that after ashort transient process the trajectoryrsquos mapping becomesa dense pointed line which closes if the calculation timeincreases by 100 times or more This shows the presence ofincommensurable frequencies in the oscillations while themotion is not chaotic [27] It could also be seen from theFigure 5 that all three approaches to calculation of reactionforces gave the same result The relative error of the centerof mass location calculation with Δ1205962119892 = 08 during steady-state regimewas 04 and 03 for the linearization approachand the neural network approach respectivelyWithΔ1205962119892 =16 the relative error remains small but accuracy differs by10 times 03 and 3 for the linearization approach andthe neural network approach respectively Preservation ofaccuracy of the neural network approach could be explainedby the fact that the model of training was carried out withvalue of the dimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 18close to 16 Finally with Δ1205962119892 = 25 the error was no morethan 2 for the neural network approach and no more than6 for the linearization approach So the neural networkapproach compared to the linearization approach given thatthe amplitude of oscillations is more than 01ℎ0 has beenproven to be significantly more accurate

Further increase of the imbalance was not studied as itusually results in unstable trajectories Increase of imbalanceleads to increase of vibrationrsquos amplitude That is why thelinearization method could give inadequate results due toactual nonlinearity of the reaction forces at large eccentric-ities The neural network approach gives good interpolationresults that is within the learning sample During extrapo-lation deviation from the learning conditions could lead tounpredictable results and rapid increase of the error

data respectivelyThematrices of input and output data weredivided into three groups for training validation and testingin fractions 06 03 and 01 respectively Training of eachnetwork was done in 1000 epochs in approximately 1ndash3minTraining quality is characterized by the following values ofmean squared errors and correlation coefficients MSE =[24 31 27 14] sdot 10minus4 N 119903119884 = [999 999 999 999] sdot10minus1

The calculation results showed that in the range ofspeeds from 1000 to 5000 rpm the vibrations of the rotorhave the frequency equal to the rotation frequency (seeFigure 6(b)) In this range of speed the oil whirl does notappear under given conditions and the main reason ofthe occurrence of vibrations is the imbalance of the rotorAdditional calculations have shown that the critical speed ofthe rotor is 3300 rpm In the range of speed from 6000 to7000 rpm some increased vibrations occur that correspond toapproximately twice critical speed (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b))The vibrations of the rotor have the frequency close to thecritical frequency (see Figure 6(b)) This is typical of oil whip[6] Here linearization approach becomes unstable and theneural network approach on the other hand remains stablewith sufficient accuracy (see Table 1)

So the neural network approach allows modeling ofsignificantly nonlinear vibrations such as oil whip Thenecessity of development of a separate neural network forevery rotation speed however it is a drawback of the appliedapproach Consequently in the next paragraph a neuralnetwork is consideredwith an additional input value rotationspeed of the rotor

33 Rotor Dynamics during Transient Regimes Modeling ofrotor dynamics during transient startstop regime is morecomplex and costly in terms of calculation resources Themain advantages of the linearization approach that areessentially simple implementation and good computationalperformance manifest themselves weakly in this case Thisis due to necessity to implement a number of intermediatecalculations of equilibrium position of stiffness and dampingmatrices and due to interpolation procedures In case ofthe neural network approach such additional interpolationprocedures are not needed There is also a possibility oftraining a neural network based on one experiment and noton a series of themThis is why application of the linearizationapproach has not been considered in this section

The transient regime has been studied using the test rigshown in the Figure 7 The main parameters of the test rig

are the same as in the Section 32 During the experimentthe rotor was steadily accelerated up to 4000 rpm and thenthe electromotor was shut down and disconnected Duringthe deceleration the data from tachometer and accelerationsensors was acquired Deceleration of the rotor took about1min Based on the results of rotation speed measurementsrotorrsquos speed was approximated as a linear function of timewhich describes the deceleration of the rotor during hydro-dynamic lubrication regime (down to 500 rpm) accuratelyenough Additional experiments at constant rotation speed inthe 1000ndash4000 rpm range showed that in this range the rotorvibrates at frequencies equal to the rotation frequency Thisresult matches the results in the Section 32

In this case one neural network has been developed fortraining with 119873hid = 35 neurons in the hidden layer Addi-tionally the rotation speedwas taken as an input so the 5 times 4sdot104 matrix of inputs was taken as = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] Thecombined sample of trajectories of the rotor at eight differentrotation speeds 119899 = 1000 5000 rpmwas used for trainingIn other words the training function had a step-like formThematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 07015 and 015 respectively Training took no more than 10minutes Training quality is characterized by the followingvalues of mean squared errors and correlation coefficientsMSE = 40 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 9998 sdot 10minus1

It has to be noted that one of the alternative ways to train aneural network during monotonous smooth change of speedwas not successfulThe results obtained based on such neuralnetworks were unstable This could be explained by factthat every value of speed occurs in a monotonous functiononly once In a step-like function many intermediate valuesare absent but the neural network manages to successfullyinterpolate them

In Figures 8(a) and 8(b) the results of deceleration ofthe rotor simulation are shown for trajectory and neuralnetworks approaches In Figure 8(c) the comparison of

numerical and experimental results is shown It could beseen from the graphs that numerical results match wellquantitatively (see Figures 8(a) and 8(b)) and qualitatively theexperimental results (see Figure 8(c))The calculated value ofthe critical speed matches the experimentally obtained valuequite well (see Figure 8(c))

So the solution of the rotor dynamics problems duringtransition regimes could be successfully implemented usingneural networks

4 Conclusion

An approach to neural network program module formationhas been presented aimed at calculation of the reaction forcersquoscomponents of the fluid film depending on the position andoscillation velocities of the center of a rotorThree approachesused in solving the rotor dynamics problem have been com-pared the trajectory approach the linearization approachand the neural network approach to approximation of theoil film reaction forces As a result of quantitative analysis

it has been determined that the use of linear and neuralapproximation allows decreasing the calculation time up totwo orders of magnitude It has also been determined thatif the amplitude of the rotorrsquos oscillation exceeds 10 of themean radial gap the neural network approach is up to 3 timesmore accurate compared to the linearization approach Alsoneural networks were used to simulate significantly nonlinearregimes of rotorrsquos vibration with high vibrodisplacement anddemonstrated good results in simulation of transient regimesThe considered models of a rotor and the fluid film wererelatively simple which significantly improved performanceusing conventional methods and aided sampling for neuralnetworkrsquos training Further complication of the models aswell as training under condition of interaction with a realrotor machine shall not significantly influence the maincharacteristics of artificial neural networks

Oscillationsrsquo velocity of the rotor is significantly lessthan tangential velocity of journalrsquos surface 1205961198632 so thesolution of (5) is linked to solution of the steady-statefluidrsquos flow problem solution So time as variable couldbe neglected during calculation of oil film force (4) Thissignificantly simplifies the procedure of numerical solution ofrotor dynamics problems [1 6] Three basic approaches havebeen considered and are characterized by different methodsof oil film forces determination

The first approach called trajectory method [1ndash4 6] isbased on solution of Reynolds equation (1) followed by inte-gration of pressure distribution and determination of 119877119894 (4)Such approach is considered referential due to high precisionand however has low performance in computational termssince the Reynolds equation has to be solved at each time step

The second approach called the method of linearizationof the oil film force determination [1ndash4 6] is based on thedecomposition of reaction force components 119877119894 into theTaylor series in the proximity of the equilibrium position119883119864119894 The matrices of stiffness 119870 and damping 119861 calculated in theequilibrium position shall be introduced as follows

The equilibrium point 119883119864119894 can be determined using thetrajectory approach In many practical applications the equi-librium locus curve is calculated to solve problems of rotordynamics [1ndash4 6]The points on this curve correspond to theequilibrium positions at various rotational speeds Necessityto determine the equilibrium position or the equilibriumlocus curve complicates the method of linearization

The third approach is based on a neural network programmodule to approximate the oil film forcersquos components119877119894 andto solve (5) A two-layer feed-forward neural network withinputs 119880119896 (119896 = 1 119873inp) and outputs 119884119894 (119894 = 1 119873out)is used (see Figure 2) The functionality of the network isdetermined by specifying the strengths of the connectionscalledweights119908 and the neuron transfer function119891 [25]Themathematical model of the used neural network is

where 119891out(119909) = 119909 is a linear transfer function and 119891hid(119909) =minus1 + 2(1 + exp(minus2119909)) is a sigmoid symmetric transfer func-tion 119908out

In the present paper the components of the oil film force119884119894 = 119877119894 are considered as outputs and four or five kinematicvalues depending on the problem are considered inputs = [1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] or = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] where 119899 isthe rotorrsquos speed

3 Simulation Results

Three basic approaches have been considered and character-ized by differentmethods of oil film forces determination thetrajectory method the linearization method and the neuralnetwork method Numerical solution of Reynolds equation(1) was implemented using the finite difference method Theobtained set of linear equations was solved using the Gaussmethod [30] The Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagationalgorithm was used in training neural networks [25 3132] which in its turn was based on the numerical resultsobtained using the trajectory method The rotor dynamicscalculation program was based on the numerical solution of(5) or (7) using the explicit Runge-Kutta method of 4th and5th order [30] During the development of the programs theGNU-Octave software and Octaversquos Neural Network Package[31] have been used The GNU-Octave products are freesoftware and use the Matlab compatible language Duringsimulations a PC with following characteristics has beenused Intel Core i5-4690K CPU 35GHz RAM 12GB x64OS

Then a neural network has been developed for trainingwith a number of neurons in the hidden layer 119873hid = 15As the input data a matrix of 4 times 105 elements was usedwhich consisted of numerical values of the coordinates 119883119894and the velocities 119881119894 with 1199050 = 1 s calculated time ofrotorrsquos motion The target data matrix of 2 times 105 elementsconsisted of the numerical values of oil film forces 119877119894 Thematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 06 03and 01 respectively The procedure of adjustment has beenimplemented using application software [31] Training wasdone in 100 iterations so-called epochs [25] in approximately10minutesThe convergence graph of amean squared error ofthe network during training is presented in Figure 3 Trainingquality of a neural network is characterized by the followingvalues of the mean squared errorrsquos value and correlationcoefficients MSE = 75 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 99999 sdot 10minus1

As a result of numerical tests a calculation time of1 sec of rotor motion was determined given the action ofdimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 16 (see Figure 4)It could be seen that the calculation time of rotor dynamicscalculation using the linearization approach is the least inthe whole range Application of the neural network moduleincreased the machine time up to 15ndash2 times under givenconditions Application of trajectory approach increased thecalculation time up to 60ndash90 times compared to the lineariza-tion approach It is indicative that calculation time of rotordynamics using linearization approach and neural networkapproach is faster than the flow of real time in the wholerange This fact means that the application of linearizationor neural network approaches in a real rotational machinecontrol system would make it possible to obtain results ofprognostic modeling [20 33 34]

As a result of another series of numerical tests the tra-jectories have been calculated for a dimensionless centrifugalforce Δ1205962119892 = 08 25 (see Figure 5) Calculated rotormotionrsquos time was set to 1 sec The simulation started atthe equilibrium point 119883119864119894 the trajectory approach taken asreferential The relative error of calculation has been chosenas quantitative criteria of accuracy evaluation

The quality analysis of stability of calculated trajectorieshas been implemented based on the Poincare maps [27ndash29] The point were displayed at moments of time that weremultiples of the period of rotation of the rotor 119879 = 1119899It could be seen from the Poincare maps (see Figure 5)that in the given range of loads the rotorrsquos trajectoriesare quasiperiodic This results from the fact that after ashort transient process the trajectoryrsquos mapping becomesa dense pointed line which closes if the calculation timeincreases by 100 times or more This shows the presence ofincommensurable frequencies in the oscillations while themotion is not chaotic [27] It could also be seen from theFigure 5 that all three approaches to calculation of reactionforces gave the same result The relative error of the centerof mass location calculation with Δ1205962119892 = 08 during steady-state regimewas 04 and 03 for the linearization approachand the neural network approach respectivelyWithΔ1205962119892 =16 the relative error remains small but accuracy differs by10 times 03 and 3 for the linearization approach andthe neural network approach respectively Preservation ofaccuracy of the neural network approach could be explainedby the fact that the model of training was carried out withvalue of the dimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 18close to 16 Finally with Δ1205962119892 = 25 the error was no morethan 2 for the neural network approach and no more than6 for the linearization approach So the neural networkapproach compared to the linearization approach given thatthe amplitude of oscillations is more than 01ℎ0 has beenproven to be significantly more accurate

Further increase of the imbalance was not studied as itusually results in unstable trajectories Increase of imbalanceleads to increase of vibrationrsquos amplitude That is why thelinearization method could give inadequate results due toactual nonlinearity of the reaction forces at large eccentric-ities The neural network approach gives good interpolationresults that is within the learning sample During extrapo-lation deviation from the learning conditions could lead tounpredictable results and rapid increase of the error

32 Rotor Dynamics for Various Speed Regimes and Transitionfrom Low to High Vibrations The same rotor system as inSection 31 of the present paper has been studied Imbalancewas constant 119898Δ = 10minus4 kgsdotm and tests were run forvarious rotation speeds 1000 rpm 3000 rpm 5000 rpm and7000 rpm

The first series of simulations of rotorrsquos behavior atvarious rotation speeds was implemented using the trajectoryapproach Calculated motion time was set to 1 sec Apartfrom trajectories the location of equilibrium points has beendetermined marked ldquo+rdquo in Figure 6(a) The second seriesof simulations has been implemented using the linearizationapproach For that matrices of stiffness and damping havebeen determined at four points on the equilibrium locuscurve

Then four neural networks have been developed fortrainingwith119873hid = 15neurons in the hidden layer For everynetwork matrices = [1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] and = [1198771 1198772] of4 times 104 and 2 times 104 elements were used as input and output

The calculation results showed that in the range ofspeeds from 1000 to 5000 rpm the vibrations of the rotorhave the frequency equal to the rotation frequency (seeFigure 6(b)) In this range of speed the oil whirl does notappear under given conditions and the main reason ofthe occurrence of vibrations is the imbalance of the rotorAdditional calculations have shown that the critical speed ofthe rotor is 3300 rpm In the range of speed from 6000 to7000 rpm some increased vibrations occur that correspond toapproximately twice critical speed (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b))The vibrations of the rotor have the frequency close to thecritical frequency (see Figure 6(b)) This is typical of oil whip[6] Here linearization approach becomes unstable and theneural network approach on the other hand remains stablewith sufficient accuracy (see Table 1)

So the neural network approach allows modeling ofsignificantly nonlinear vibrations such as oil whip Thenecessity of development of a separate neural network forevery rotation speed however it is a drawback of the appliedapproach Consequently in the next paragraph a neuralnetwork is consideredwith an additional input value rotationspeed of the rotor

33 Rotor Dynamics during Transient Regimes Modeling ofrotor dynamics during transient startstop regime is morecomplex and costly in terms of calculation resources Themain advantages of the linearization approach that areessentially simple implementation and good computationalperformance manifest themselves weakly in this case Thisis due to necessity to implement a number of intermediatecalculations of equilibrium position of stiffness and dampingmatrices and due to interpolation procedures In case ofthe neural network approach such additional interpolationprocedures are not needed There is also a possibility oftraining a neural network based on one experiment and noton a series of themThis is why application of the linearizationapproach has not been considered in this section

The transient regime has been studied using the test rigshown in the Figure 7 The main parameters of the test rig

are the same as in the Section 32 During the experimentthe rotor was steadily accelerated up to 4000 rpm and thenthe electromotor was shut down and disconnected Duringthe deceleration the data from tachometer and accelerationsensors was acquired Deceleration of the rotor took about1min Based on the results of rotation speed measurementsrotorrsquos speed was approximated as a linear function of timewhich describes the deceleration of the rotor during hydro-dynamic lubrication regime (down to 500 rpm) accuratelyenough Additional experiments at constant rotation speed inthe 1000ndash4000 rpm range showed that in this range the rotorvibrates at frequencies equal to the rotation frequency Thisresult matches the results in the Section 32

In this case one neural network has been developed fortraining with 119873hid = 35 neurons in the hidden layer Addi-tionally the rotation speedwas taken as an input so the 5 times 4sdot104 matrix of inputs was taken as = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] Thecombined sample of trajectories of the rotor at eight differentrotation speeds 119899 = 1000 5000 rpmwas used for trainingIn other words the training function had a step-like formThematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 07015 and 015 respectively Training took no more than 10minutes Training quality is characterized by the followingvalues of mean squared errors and correlation coefficientsMSE = 40 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 9998 sdot 10minus1

It has to be noted that one of the alternative ways to train aneural network during monotonous smooth change of speedwas not successfulThe results obtained based on such neuralnetworks were unstable This could be explained by factthat every value of speed occurs in a monotonous functiononly once In a step-like function many intermediate valuesare absent but the neural network manages to successfullyinterpolate them

In Figures 8(a) and 8(b) the results of deceleration ofthe rotor simulation are shown for trajectory and neuralnetworks approaches In Figure 8(c) the comparison of

numerical and experimental results is shown It could beseen from the graphs that numerical results match wellquantitatively (see Figures 8(a) and 8(b)) and qualitatively theexperimental results (see Figure 8(c))The calculated value ofthe critical speed matches the experimentally obtained valuequite well (see Figure 8(c))

So the solution of the rotor dynamics problems duringtransition regimes could be successfully implemented usingneural networks

4 Conclusion

Given the pressure distribution the components of theresulting oil film reaction force can be obtained as projectionson the119883119894 (see Figure 1)

where 1198713 is the length of the bearingThe equation for lateral vibrations of the rotorrsquos center can

be presented in simple form [1ndash4 6]

Oscillationsrsquo velocity of the rotor is significantly lessthan tangential velocity of journalrsquos surface 1205961198632 so thesolution of (5) is linked to solution of the steady-statefluidrsquos flow problem solution So time as variable couldbe neglected during calculation of oil film force (4) Thissignificantly simplifies the procedure of numerical solution ofrotor dynamics problems [1 6] Three basic approaches havebeen considered and are characterized by different methodsof oil film forces determination

The first approach called trajectory method [1ndash4 6] isbased on solution of Reynolds equation (1) followed by inte-gration of pressure distribution and determination of 119877119894 (4)Such approach is considered referential due to high precisionand however has low performance in computational termssince the Reynolds equation has to be solved at each time step

The second approach called the method of linearizationof the oil film force determination [1ndash4 6] is based on thedecomposition of reaction force components 119877119894 into theTaylor series in the proximity of the equilibrium position119883119864119894 The matrices of stiffness 119870 and damping 119861 calculated in theequilibrium position shall be introduced as follows

Then the motion equation of the rotor (5) with givenoperational conditions of the rotor system and given the

linearization of the filmrsquos reaction forces will be as follows [1ndash4 6 24]

The equilibrium point 119883119864119894 can be determined using thetrajectory approach In many practical applications the equi-librium locus curve is calculated to solve problems of rotordynamics [1ndash4 6]The points on this curve correspond to theequilibrium positions at various rotational speeds Necessityto determine the equilibrium position or the equilibriumlocus curve complicates the method of linearization

The third approach is based on a neural network programmodule to approximate the oil film forcersquos components119877119894 andto solve (5) A two-layer feed-forward neural network withinputs 119880119896 (119896 = 1 119873inp) and outputs 119884119894 (119894 = 1 119873out)is used (see Figure 2) The functionality of the network isdetermined by specifying the strengths of the connectionscalledweights119908 and the neuron transfer function119891 [25]Themathematical model of the used neural network is

where 119891out(119909) = 119909 is a linear transfer function and 119891hid(119909) =minus1 + 2(1 + exp(minus2119909)) is a sigmoid symmetric transfer func-tion 119908out

of output and hidden layers respectively and 119911119895 are theintermediate outputs of hidden neurons (119895 = 1 119873hid)

In the present paper the components of the oil film force119884119894 = 119877119894 are considered as outputs and four or five kinematicvalues depending on the problem are considered inputs = [1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] or = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] where 119899 isthe rotorrsquos speed

3 Simulation Results

Then a neural network has been developed for trainingwith a number of neurons in the hidden layer 119873hid = 15As the input data a matrix of 4 times 105 elements was usedwhich consisted of numerical values of the coordinates 119883119894and the velocities 119881119894 with 1199050 = 1 s calculated time ofrotorrsquos motion The target data matrix of 2 times 105 elementsconsisted of the numerical values of oil film forces 119877119894 Thematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 06 03and 01 respectively The procedure of adjustment has beenimplemented using application software [31] Training wasdone in 100 iterations so-called epochs [25] in approximately10minutesThe convergence graph of amean squared error ofthe network during training is presented in Figure 3 Trainingquality of a neural network is characterized by the followingvalues of the mean squared errorrsquos value and correlationcoefficients MSE = 75 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 99999 sdot 10minus1

As a result of numerical tests a calculation time of1 sec of rotor motion was determined given the action ofdimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 16 (see Figure 4)It could be seen that the calculation time of rotor dynamicscalculation using the linearization approach is the least inthe whole range Application of the neural network moduleincreased the machine time up to 15ndash2 times under givenconditions Application of trajectory approach increased thecalculation time up to 60ndash90 times compared to the lineariza-tion approach It is indicative that calculation time of rotordynamics using linearization approach and neural networkapproach is faster than the flow of real time in the wholerange This fact means that the application of linearizationor neural network approaches in a real rotational machinecontrol system would make it possible to obtain results ofprognostic modeling [20 33 34]

As a result of another series of numerical tests the tra-jectories have been calculated for a dimensionless centrifugalforce Δ1205962119892 = 08 25 (see Figure 5) Calculated rotormotionrsquos time was set to 1 sec The simulation started atthe equilibrium point 119883119864119894 the trajectory approach taken asreferential The relative error of calculation has been chosenas quantitative criteria of accuracy evaluation

The quality analysis of stability of calculated trajectorieshas been implemented based on the Poincare maps [27ndash29] The point were displayed at moments of time that weremultiples of the period of rotation of the rotor 119879 = 1119899It could be seen from the Poincare maps (see Figure 5)that in the given range of loads the rotorrsquos trajectoriesare quasiperiodic This results from the fact that after ashort transient process the trajectoryrsquos mapping becomesa dense pointed line which closes if the calculation timeincreases by 100 times or more This shows the presence ofincommensurable frequencies in the oscillations while themotion is not chaotic [27] It could also be seen from theFigure 5 that all three approaches to calculation of reactionforces gave the same result The relative error of the centerof mass location calculation with Δ1205962119892 = 08 during steady-state regimewas 04 and 03 for the linearization approachand the neural network approach respectivelyWithΔ1205962119892 =16 the relative error remains small but accuracy differs by10 times 03 and 3 for the linearization approach andthe neural network approach respectively Preservation ofaccuracy of the neural network approach could be explainedby the fact that the model of training was carried out withvalue of the dimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 18close to 16 Finally with Δ1205962119892 = 25 the error was no morethan 2 for the neural network approach and no more than6 for the linearization approach So the neural networkapproach compared to the linearization approach given thatthe amplitude of oscillations is more than 01ℎ0 has beenproven to be significantly more accurate

Further increase of the imbalance was not studied as itusually results in unstable trajectories Increase of imbalanceleads to increase of vibrationrsquos amplitude That is why thelinearization method could give inadequate results due toactual nonlinearity of the reaction forces at large eccentric-ities The neural network approach gives good interpolationresults that is within the learning sample During extrapo-lation deviation from the learning conditions could lead tounpredictable results and rapid increase of the error

32 Rotor Dynamics for Various Speed Regimes and Transitionfrom Low to High Vibrations The same rotor system as inSection 31 of the present paper has been studied Imbalancewas constant 119898Δ = 10minus4 kgsdotm and tests were run forvarious rotation speeds 1000 rpm 3000 rpm 5000 rpm and7000 rpm

The first series of simulations of rotorrsquos behavior atvarious rotation speeds was implemented using the trajectoryapproach Calculated motion time was set to 1 sec Apartfrom trajectories the location of equilibrium points has beendetermined marked ldquo+rdquo in Figure 6(a) The second seriesof simulations has been implemented using the linearizationapproach For that matrices of stiffness and damping havebeen determined at four points on the equilibrium locuscurve

Then four neural networks have been developed fortrainingwith119873hid = 15neurons in the hidden layer For everynetwork matrices = [1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] and = [1198771 1198772] of4 times 104 and 2 times 104 elements were used as input and output

The calculation results showed that in the range ofspeeds from 1000 to 5000 rpm the vibrations of the rotorhave the frequency equal to the rotation frequency (seeFigure 6(b)) In this range of speed the oil whirl does notappear under given conditions and the main reason ofthe occurrence of vibrations is the imbalance of the rotorAdditional calculations have shown that the critical speed ofthe rotor is 3300 rpm In the range of speed from 6000 to7000 rpm some increased vibrations occur that correspond toapproximately twice critical speed (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b))The vibrations of the rotor have the frequency close to thecritical frequency (see Figure 6(b)) This is typical of oil whip[6] Here linearization approach becomes unstable and theneural network approach on the other hand remains stablewith sufficient accuracy (see Table 1)

So the neural network approach allows modeling ofsignificantly nonlinear vibrations such as oil whip Thenecessity of development of a separate neural network forevery rotation speed however it is a drawback of the appliedapproach Consequently in the next paragraph a neuralnetwork is consideredwith an additional input value rotationspeed of the rotor

33 Rotor Dynamics during Transient Regimes Modeling ofrotor dynamics during transient startstop regime is morecomplex and costly in terms of calculation resources Themain advantages of the linearization approach that areessentially simple implementation and good computationalperformance manifest themselves weakly in this case Thisis due to necessity to implement a number of intermediatecalculations of equilibrium position of stiffness and dampingmatrices and due to interpolation procedures In case ofthe neural network approach such additional interpolationprocedures are not needed There is also a possibility oftraining a neural network based on one experiment and noton a series of themThis is why application of the linearizationapproach has not been considered in this section

are the same as in the Section 32 During the experimentthe rotor was steadily accelerated up to 4000 rpm and thenthe electromotor was shut down and disconnected Duringthe deceleration the data from tachometer and accelerationsensors was acquired Deceleration of the rotor took about1min Based on the results of rotation speed measurementsrotorrsquos speed was approximated as a linear function of timewhich describes the deceleration of the rotor during hydro-dynamic lubrication regime (down to 500 rpm) accuratelyenough Additional experiments at constant rotation speed inthe 1000ndash4000 rpm range showed that in this range the rotorvibrates at frequencies equal to the rotation frequency Thisresult matches the results in the Section 32

In this case one neural network has been developed fortraining with 119873hid = 35 neurons in the hidden layer Addi-tionally the rotation speedwas taken as an input so the 5 times 4sdot104 matrix of inputs was taken as = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] Thecombined sample of trajectories of the rotor at eight differentrotation speeds 119899 = 1000 5000 rpmwas used for trainingIn other words the training function had a step-like formThematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 07015 and 015 respectively Training took no more than 10minutes Training quality is characterized by the followingvalues of mean squared errors and correlation coefficientsMSE = 40 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 9998 sdot 10minus1

It has to be noted that one of the alternative ways to train aneural network during monotonous smooth change of speedwas not successfulThe results obtained based on such neuralnetworks were unstable This could be explained by factthat every value of speed occurs in a monotonous functiononly once In a step-like function many intermediate valuesare absent but the neural network manages to successfullyinterpolate them

In Figures 8(a) and 8(b) the results of deceleration ofthe rotor simulation are shown for trajectory and neuralnetworks approaches In Figure 8(c) the comparison of

numerical and experimental results is shown It could beseen from the graphs that numerical results match wellquantitatively (see Figures 8(a) and 8(b)) and qualitatively theexperimental results (see Figure 8(c))The calculated value ofthe critical speed matches the experimentally obtained valuequite well (see Figure 8(c))

So the solution of the rotor dynamics problems duringtransition regimes could be successfully implemented usingneural networks

Stability analysis of the obtained results could be imple-mented based on the rotorrsquos locus analysis using Poincaremaps [10 27ndash29] Moreover the RouthndashHurwitz criterioncould be applied to the linearization approach [1 10]

3 Simulation Results

Three basic approaches have been considered and character-ized by differentmethods of oil film forces determination thetrajectory method the linearization method and the neuralnetwork method Numerical solution of Reynolds equation(1) was implemented using the finite difference method Theobtained set of linear equations was solved using the Gaussmethod [30] The Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagationalgorithm was used in training neural networks [25 3132] which in its turn was based on the numerical resultsobtained using the trajectory method The rotor dynamicscalculation program was based on the numerical solution of(5) or (7) using the explicit Runge-Kutta method of 4th and5th order [30] During the development of the programs theGNU-Octave software and Octaversquos Neural Network Package[31] have been used The GNU-Octave products are freesoftware and use the Matlab compatible language Duringsimulations a PC with following characteristics has beenused Intel Core i5-4690K CPU 35GHz RAM 12GB x64OS

The results presented below correspond to various typesof problems solved

Then a neural network has been developed for trainingwith a number of neurons in the hidden layer 119873hid = 15As the input data a matrix of 4 times 105 elements was usedwhich consisted of numerical values of the coordinates 119883119894and the velocities 119881119894 with 1199050 = 1 s calculated time ofrotorrsquos motion The target data matrix of 2 times 105 elementsconsisted of the numerical values of oil film forces 119877119894 Thematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 06 03and 01 respectively The procedure of adjustment has beenimplemented using application software [31] Training wasdone in 100 iterations so-called epochs [25] in approximately10minutesThe convergence graph of amean squared error ofthe network during training is presented in Figure 3 Trainingquality of a neural network is characterized by the followingvalues of the mean squared errorrsquos value and correlationcoefficients MSE = 75 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 99999 sdot 10minus1

As a result of numerical tests a calculation time of1 sec of rotor motion was determined given the action ofdimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 16 (see Figure 4)It could be seen that the calculation time of rotor dynamicscalculation using the linearization approach is the least inthe whole range Application of the neural network moduleincreased the machine time up to 15ndash2 times under givenconditions Application of trajectory approach increased thecalculation time up to 60ndash90 times compared to the lineariza-tion approach It is indicative that calculation time of rotordynamics using linearization approach and neural networkapproach is faster than the flow of real time in the wholerange This fact means that the application of linearizationor neural network approaches in a real rotational machinecontrol system would make it possible to obtain results ofprognostic modeling [20 33 34]

As a result of another series of numerical tests the tra-jectories have been calculated for a dimensionless centrifugalforce Δ1205962119892 = 08 25 (see Figure 5) Calculated rotormotionrsquos time was set to 1 sec The simulation started atthe equilibrium point 119883119864119894 the trajectory approach taken asreferential The relative error of calculation has been chosenas quantitative criteria of accuracy evaluation

The quality analysis of stability of calculated trajectorieshas been implemented based on the Poincare maps [27ndash29] The point were displayed at moments of time that weremultiples of the period of rotation of the rotor 119879 = 1119899It could be seen from the Poincare maps (see Figure 5)that in the given range of loads the rotorrsquos trajectoriesare quasiperiodic This results from the fact that after ashort transient process the trajectoryrsquos mapping becomesa dense pointed line which closes if the calculation timeincreases by 100 times or more This shows the presence ofincommensurable frequencies in the oscillations while themotion is not chaotic [27] It could also be seen from theFigure 5 that all three approaches to calculation of reactionforces gave the same result The relative error of the centerof mass location calculation with Δ1205962119892 = 08 during steady-state regimewas 04 and 03 for the linearization approachand the neural network approach respectivelyWithΔ1205962119892 =16 the relative error remains small but accuracy differs by10 times 03 and 3 for the linearization approach andthe neural network approach respectively Preservation ofaccuracy of the neural network approach could be explainedby the fact that the model of training was carried out withvalue of the dimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 18close to 16 Finally with Δ1205962119892 = 25 the error was no morethan 2 for the neural network approach and no more than6 for the linearization approach So the neural networkapproach compared to the linearization approach given thatthe amplitude of oscillations is more than 01ℎ0 has beenproven to be significantly more accurate

Further increase of the imbalance was not studied as itusually results in unstable trajectories Increase of imbalanceleads to increase of vibrationrsquos amplitude That is why thelinearization method could give inadequate results due toactual nonlinearity of the reaction forces at large eccentric-ities The neural network approach gives good interpolationresults that is within the learning sample During extrapo-lation deviation from the learning conditions could lead tounpredictable results and rapid increase of the error

32 Rotor Dynamics for Various Speed Regimes and Transitionfrom Low to High Vibrations The same rotor system as inSection 31 of the present paper has been studied Imbalancewas constant 119898Δ = 10minus4 kgsdotm and tests were run forvarious rotation speeds 1000 rpm 3000 rpm 5000 rpm and7000 rpm

The first series of simulations of rotorrsquos behavior atvarious rotation speeds was implemented using the trajectoryapproach Calculated motion time was set to 1 sec Apartfrom trajectories the location of equilibrium points has beendetermined marked ldquo+rdquo in Figure 6(a) The second seriesof simulations has been implemented using the linearizationapproach For that matrices of stiffness and damping havebeen determined at four points on the equilibrium locuscurve

Then four neural networks have been developed fortrainingwith119873hid = 15neurons in the hidden layer For everynetwork matrices = [1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] and = [1198771 1198772] of4 times 104 and 2 times 104 elements were used as input and output

The calculation results showed that in the range ofspeeds from 1000 to 5000 rpm the vibrations of the rotorhave the frequency equal to the rotation frequency (seeFigure 6(b)) In this range of speed the oil whirl does notappear under given conditions and the main reason ofthe occurrence of vibrations is the imbalance of the rotorAdditional calculations have shown that the critical speed ofthe rotor is 3300 rpm In the range of speed from 6000 to7000 rpm some increased vibrations occur that correspond toapproximately twice critical speed (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b))The vibrations of the rotor have the frequency close to thecritical frequency (see Figure 6(b)) This is typical of oil whip[6] Here linearization approach becomes unstable and theneural network approach on the other hand remains stablewith sufficient accuracy (see Table 1)

So the neural network approach allows modeling ofsignificantly nonlinear vibrations such as oil whip Thenecessity of development of a separate neural network forevery rotation speed however it is a drawback of the appliedapproach Consequently in the next paragraph a neuralnetwork is consideredwith an additional input value rotationspeed of the rotor

33 Rotor Dynamics during Transient Regimes Modeling ofrotor dynamics during transient startstop regime is morecomplex and costly in terms of calculation resources Themain advantages of the linearization approach that areessentially simple implementation and good computationalperformance manifest themselves weakly in this case Thisis due to necessity to implement a number of intermediatecalculations of equilibrium position of stiffness and dampingmatrices and due to interpolation procedures In case ofthe neural network approach such additional interpolationprocedures are not needed There is also a possibility oftraining a neural network based on one experiment and noton a series of themThis is why application of the linearizationapproach has not been considered in this section

The transient regime has been studied using the test rigshown in the Figure 7 The main parameters of the test rig

are the same as in the Section 32 During the experimentthe rotor was steadily accelerated up to 4000 rpm and thenthe electromotor was shut down and disconnected Duringthe deceleration the data from tachometer and accelerationsensors was acquired Deceleration of the rotor took about1min Based on the results of rotation speed measurementsrotorrsquos speed was approximated as a linear function of timewhich describes the deceleration of the rotor during hydro-dynamic lubrication regime (down to 500 rpm) accuratelyenough Additional experiments at constant rotation speed inthe 1000ndash4000 rpm range showed that in this range the rotorvibrates at frequencies equal to the rotation frequency Thisresult matches the results in the Section 32

In this case one neural network has been developed fortraining with 119873hid = 35 neurons in the hidden layer Addi-tionally the rotation speedwas taken as an input so the 5 times 4sdot104 matrix of inputs was taken as = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] Thecombined sample of trajectories of the rotor at eight differentrotation speeds 119899 = 1000 5000 rpmwas used for trainingIn other words the training function had a step-like formThematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 07015 and 015 respectively Training took no more than 10minutes Training quality is characterized by the followingvalues of mean squared errors and correlation coefficientsMSE = 40 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 9998 sdot 10minus1

It has to be noted that one of the alternative ways to train aneural network during monotonous smooth change of speedwas not successfulThe results obtained based on such neuralnetworks were unstable This could be explained by factthat every value of speed occurs in a monotonous functiononly once In a step-like function many intermediate valuesare absent but the neural network manages to successfullyinterpolate them

In Figures 8(a) and 8(b) the results of deceleration ofthe rotor simulation are shown for trajectory and neuralnetworks approaches In Figure 8(c) the comparison of

As a result of numerical tests a calculation time of1 sec of rotor motion was determined given the action ofdimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 16 (see Figure 4)It could be seen that the calculation time of rotor dynamicscalculation using the linearization approach is the least inthe whole range Application of the neural network moduleincreased the machine time up to 15ndash2 times under givenconditions Application of trajectory approach increased thecalculation time up to 60ndash90 times compared to the lineariza-tion approach It is indicative that calculation time of rotordynamics using linearization approach and neural networkapproach is faster than the flow of real time in the wholerange This fact means that the application of linearizationor neural network approaches in a real rotational machinecontrol system would make it possible to obtain results ofprognostic modeling [20 33 34]

As a result of another series of numerical tests the tra-jectories have been calculated for a dimensionless centrifugalforce Δ1205962119892 = 08 25 (see Figure 5) Calculated rotormotionrsquos time was set to 1 sec The simulation started atthe equilibrium point 119883119864119894 the trajectory approach taken asreferential The relative error of calculation has been chosenas quantitative criteria of accuracy evaluation

The quality analysis of stability of calculated trajectorieshas been implemented based on the Poincare maps [27ndash29] The point were displayed at moments of time that weremultiples of the period of rotation of the rotor 119879 = 1119899It could be seen from the Poincare maps (see Figure 5)that in the given range of loads the rotorrsquos trajectoriesare quasiperiodic This results from the fact that after ashort transient process the trajectoryrsquos mapping becomesa dense pointed line which closes if the calculation timeincreases by 100 times or more This shows the presence ofincommensurable frequencies in the oscillations while themotion is not chaotic [27] It could also be seen from theFigure 5 that all three approaches to calculation of reactionforces gave the same result The relative error of the centerof mass location calculation with Δ1205962119892 = 08 during steady-state regimewas 04 and 03 for the linearization approachand the neural network approach respectivelyWithΔ1205962119892 =16 the relative error remains small but accuracy differs by10 times 03 and 3 for the linearization approach andthe neural network approach respectively Preservation ofaccuracy of the neural network approach could be explainedby the fact that the model of training was carried out withvalue of the dimensionless centrifugal force Δ1205962119892 = 18close to 16 Finally with Δ1205962119892 = 25 the error was no morethan 2 for the neural network approach and no more than6 for the linearization approach So the neural networkapproach compared to the linearization approach given thatthe amplitude of oscillations is more than 01ℎ0 has beenproven to be significantly more accurate

Further increase of the imbalance was not studied as itusually results in unstable trajectories Increase of imbalanceleads to increase of vibrationrsquos amplitude That is why thelinearization method could give inadequate results due toactual nonlinearity of the reaction forces at large eccentric-ities The neural network approach gives good interpolationresults that is within the learning sample During extrapo-lation deviation from the learning conditions could lead tounpredictable results and rapid increase of the error

32 Rotor Dynamics for Various Speed Regimes and Transitionfrom Low to High Vibrations The same rotor system as inSection 31 of the present paper has been studied Imbalancewas constant 119898Δ = 10minus4 kgsdotm and tests were run forvarious rotation speeds 1000 rpm 3000 rpm 5000 rpm and7000 rpm

The first series of simulations of rotorrsquos behavior atvarious rotation speeds was implemented using the trajectoryapproach Calculated motion time was set to 1 sec Apartfrom trajectories the location of equilibrium points has beendetermined marked ldquo+rdquo in Figure 6(a) The second seriesof simulations has been implemented using the linearizationapproach For that matrices of stiffness and damping havebeen determined at four points on the equilibrium locuscurve

Then four neural networks have been developed fortrainingwith119873hid = 15neurons in the hidden layer For everynetwork matrices = [1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] and = [1198771 1198772] of4 times 104 and 2 times 104 elements were used as input and output

The calculation results showed that in the range ofspeeds from 1000 to 5000 rpm the vibrations of the rotorhave the frequency equal to the rotation frequency (seeFigure 6(b)) In this range of speed the oil whirl does notappear under given conditions and the main reason ofthe occurrence of vibrations is the imbalance of the rotorAdditional calculations have shown that the critical speed ofthe rotor is 3300 rpm In the range of speed from 6000 to7000 rpm some increased vibrations occur that correspond toapproximately twice critical speed (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b))The vibrations of the rotor have the frequency close to thecritical frequency (see Figure 6(b)) This is typical of oil whip[6] Here linearization approach becomes unstable and theneural network approach on the other hand remains stablewith sufficient accuracy (see Table 1)

So the neural network approach allows modeling ofsignificantly nonlinear vibrations such as oil whip Thenecessity of development of a separate neural network forevery rotation speed however it is a drawback of the appliedapproach Consequently in the next paragraph a neuralnetwork is consideredwith an additional input value rotationspeed of the rotor

33 Rotor Dynamics during Transient Regimes Modeling ofrotor dynamics during transient startstop regime is morecomplex and costly in terms of calculation resources Themain advantages of the linearization approach that areessentially simple implementation and good computationalperformance manifest themselves weakly in this case Thisis due to necessity to implement a number of intermediatecalculations of equilibrium position of stiffness and dampingmatrices and due to interpolation procedures In case ofthe neural network approach such additional interpolationprocedures are not needed There is also a possibility oftraining a neural network based on one experiment and noton a series of themThis is why application of the linearizationapproach has not been considered in this section

The transient regime has been studied using the test rigshown in the Figure 7 The main parameters of the test rig

In this case one neural network has been developed fortraining with 119873hid = 35 neurons in the hidden layer Addi-tionally the rotation speedwas taken as an input so the 5 times 4sdot104 matrix of inputs was taken as = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] Thecombined sample of trajectories of the rotor at eight differentrotation speeds 119899 = 1000 5000 rpmwas used for trainingIn other words the training function had a step-like formThematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 07015 and 015 respectively Training took no more than 10minutes Training quality is characterized by the followingvalues of mean squared errors and correlation coefficientsMSE = 40 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 9998 sdot 10minus1

It has to be noted that one of the alternative ways to train aneural network during monotonous smooth change of speedwas not successfulThe results obtained based on such neuralnetworks were unstable This could be explained by factthat every value of speed occurs in a monotonous functiononly once In a step-like function many intermediate valuesare absent but the neural network manages to successfullyinterpolate them

data respectivelyThematrices of input and output data weredivided into three groups for training validation and testingin fractions 06 03 and 01 respectively Training of eachnetwork was done in 1000 epochs in approximately 1ndash3minTraining quality is characterized by the following values ofmean squared errors and correlation coefficients MSE =[24 31 27 14] sdot 10minus4 N 119903119884 = [999 999 999 999] sdot10minus1

The calculation results showed that in the range ofspeeds from 1000 to 5000 rpm the vibrations of the rotorhave the frequency equal to the rotation frequency (seeFigure 6(b)) In this range of speed the oil whirl does notappear under given conditions and the main reason ofthe occurrence of vibrations is the imbalance of the rotorAdditional calculations have shown that the critical speed ofthe rotor is 3300 rpm In the range of speed from 6000 to7000 rpm some increased vibrations occur that correspond toapproximately twice critical speed (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b))The vibrations of the rotor have the frequency close to thecritical frequency (see Figure 6(b)) This is typical of oil whip[6] Here linearization approach becomes unstable and theneural network approach on the other hand remains stablewith sufficient accuracy (see Table 1)

So the neural network approach allows modeling ofsignificantly nonlinear vibrations such as oil whip Thenecessity of development of a separate neural network forevery rotation speed however it is a drawback of the appliedapproach Consequently in the next paragraph a neuralnetwork is consideredwith an additional input value rotationspeed of the rotor

33 Rotor Dynamics during Transient Regimes Modeling ofrotor dynamics during transient startstop regime is morecomplex and costly in terms of calculation resources Themain advantages of the linearization approach that areessentially simple implementation and good computationalperformance manifest themselves weakly in this case Thisis due to necessity to implement a number of intermediatecalculations of equilibrium position of stiffness and dampingmatrices and due to interpolation procedures In case ofthe neural network approach such additional interpolationprocedures are not needed There is also a possibility oftraining a neural network based on one experiment and noton a series of themThis is why application of the linearizationapproach has not been considered in this section

The transient regime has been studied using the test rigshown in the Figure 7 The main parameters of the test rig

are the same as in the Section 32 During the experimentthe rotor was steadily accelerated up to 4000 rpm and thenthe electromotor was shut down and disconnected Duringthe deceleration the data from tachometer and accelerationsensors was acquired Deceleration of the rotor took about1min Based on the results of rotation speed measurementsrotorrsquos speed was approximated as a linear function of timewhich describes the deceleration of the rotor during hydro-dynamic lubrication regime (down to 500 rpm) accuratelyenough Additional experiments at constant rotation speed inthe 1000ndash4000 rpm range showed that in this range the rotorvibrates at frequencies equal to the rotation frequency Thisresult matches the results in the Section 32

In this case one neural network has been developed fortraining with 119873hid = 35 neurons in the hidden layer Addi-tionally the rotation speedwas taken as an input so the 5 times 4sdot104 matrix of inputs was taken as = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] Thecombined sample of trajectories of the rotor at eight differentrotation speeds 119899 = 1000 5000 rpmwas used for trainingIn other words the training function had a step-like formThematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 07015 and 015 respectively Training took no more than 10minutes Training quality is characterized by the followingvalues of mean squared errors and correlation coefficientsMSE = 40 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 9998 sdot 10minus1

It has to be noted that one of the alternative ways to train aneural network during monotonous smooth change of speedwas not successfulThe results obtained based on such neuralnetworks were unstable This could be explained by factthat every value of speed occurs in a monotonous functiononly once In a step-like function many intermediate valuesare absent but the neural network manages to successfullyinterpolate them

In Figures 8(a) and 8(b) the results of deceleration ofthe rotor simulation are shown for trajectory and neuralnetworks approaches In Figure 8(c) the comparison of

numerical and experimental results is shown It could beseen from the graphs that numerical results match wellquantitatively (see Figures 8(a) and 8(b)) and qualitatively theexperimental results (see Figure 8(c))The calculated value ofthe critical speed matches the experimentally obtained valuequite well (see Figure 8(c))

So the solution of the rotor dynamics problems duringtransition regimes could be successfully implemented usingneural networks

4 Conclusion

An approach to neural network program module formationhas been presented aimed at calculation of the reaction forcersquoscomponents of the fluid film depending on the position andoscillation velocities of the center of a rotorThree approachesused in solving the rotor dynamics problem have been com-pared the trajectory approach the linearization approachand the neural network approach to approximation of theoil film reaction forces As a result of quantitative analysis

it has been determined that the use of linear and neuralapproximation allows decreasing the calculation time up totwo orders of magnitude It has also been determined thatif the amplitude of the rotorrsquos oscillation exceeds 10 of themean radial gap the neural network approach is up to 3 timesmore accurate compared to the linearization approach Alsoneural networks were used to simulate significantly nonlinearregimes of rotorrsquos vibration with high vibrodisplacement anddemonstrated good results in simulation of transient regimesThe considered models of a rotor and the fluid film wererelatively simple which significantly improved performanceusing conventional methods and aided sampling for neuralnetworkrsquos training Further complication of the models aswell as training under condition of interaction with a realrotor machine shall not significantly influence the maincharacteristics of artificial neural networks

data respectivelyThematrices of input and output data weredivided into three groups for training validation and testingin fractions 06 03 and 01 respectively Training of eachnetwork was done in 1000 epochs in approximately 1ndash3minTraining quality is characterized by the following values ofmean squared errors and correlation coefficients MSE =[24 31 27 14] sdot 10minus4 N 119903119884 = [999 999 999 999] sdot10minus1

The calculation results showed that in the range ofspeeds from 1000 to 5000 rpm the vibrations of the rotorhave the frequency equal to the rotation frequency (seeFigure 6(b)) In this range of speed the oil whirl does notappear under given conditions and the main reason ofthe occurrence of vibrations is the imbalance of the rotorAdditional calculations have shown that the critical speed ofthe rotor is 3300 rpm In the range of speed from 6000 to7000 rpm some increased vibrations occur that correspond toapproximately twice critical speed (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b))The vibrations of the rotor have the frequency close to thecritical frequency (see Figure 6(b)) This is typical of oil whip[6] Here linearization approach becomes unstable and theneural network approach on the other hand remains stablewith sufficient accuracy (see Table 1)

So the neural network approach allows modeling ofsignificantly nonlinear vibrations such as oil whip Thenecessity of development of a separate neural network forevery rotation speed however it is a drawback of the appliedapproach Consequently in the next paragraph a neuralnetwork is consideredwith an additional input value rotationspeed of the rotor

33 Rotor Dynamics during Transient Regimes Modeling ofrotor dynamics during transient startstop regime is morecomplex and costly in terms of calculation resources Themain advantages of the linearization approach that areessentially simple implementation and good computationalperformance manifest themselves weakly in this case Thisis due to necessity to implement a number of intermediatecalculations of equilibrium position of stiffness and dampingmatrices and due to interpolation procedures In case ofthe neural network approach such additional interpolationprocedures are not needed There is also a possibility oftraining a neural network based on one experiment and noton a series of themThis is why application of the linearizationapproach has not been considered in this section

The transient regime has been studied using the test rigshown in the Figure 7 The main parameters of the test rig

are the same as in the Section 32 During the experimentthe rotor was steadily accelerated up to 4000 rpm and thenthe electromotor was shut down and disconnected Duringthe deceleration the data from tachometer and accelerationsensors was acquired Deceleration of the rotor took about1min Based on the results of rotation speed measurementsrotorrsquos speed was approximated as a linear function of timewhich describes the deceleration of the rotor during hydro-dynamic lubrication regime (down to 500 rpm) accuratelyenough Additional experiments at constant rotation speed inthe 1000ndash4000 rpm range showed that in this range the rotorvibrates at frequencies equal to the rotation frequency Thisresult matches the results in the Section 32

In this case one neural network has been developed fortraining with 119873hid = 35 neurons in the hidden layer Addi-tionally the rotation speedwas taken as an input so the 5 times 4sdot104 matrix of inputs was taken as = [119899 1198831 1198832 1198811 1198812] Thecombined sample of trajectories of the rotor at eight differentrotation speeds 119899 = 1000 5000 rpmwas used for trainingIn other words the training function had a step-like formThematrices of input and output data were divided into threegroups for training validation and testing in fractions 07015 and 015 respectively Training took no more than 10minutes Training quality is characterized by the followingvalues of mean squared errors and correlation coefficientsMSE = 40 sdot 10minus4N 119903119884 = 9998 sdot 10minus1

It has to be noted that one of the alternative ways to train aneural network during monotonous smooth change of speedwas not successfulThe results obtained based on such neuralnetworks were unstable This could be explained by factthat every value of speed occurs in a monotonous functiononly once In a step-like function many intermediate valuesare absent but the neural network manages to successfullyinterpolate them

In Figures 8(a) and 8(b) the results of deceleration ofthe rotor simulation are shown for trajectory and neuralnetworks approaches In Figure 8(c) the comparison of

So the solution of the rotor dynamics problems duringtransition regimes could be successfully implemented usingneural networks

4 Conclusion

An approach to neural network program module formationhas been presented aimed at calculation of the reaction forcersquoscomponents of the fluid film depending on the position andoscillation velocities of the center of a rotorThree approachesused in solving the rotor dynamics problem have been com-pared the trajectory approach the linearization approachand the neural network approach to approximation of theoil film reaction forces As a result of quantitative analysis

it has been determined that the use of linear and neuralapproximation allows decreasing the calculation time up totwo orders of magnitude It has also been determined thatif the amplitude of the rotorrsquos oscillation exceeds 10 of themean radial gap the neural network approach is up to 3 timesmore accurate compared to the linearization approach Alsoneural networks were used to simulate significantly nonlinearregimes of rotorrsquos vibration with high vibrodisplacement anddemonstrated good results in simulation of transient regimesThe considered models of a rotor and the fluid film wererelatively simple which significantly improved performanceusing conventional methods and aided sampling for neuralnetworkrsquos training Further complication of the models aswell as training under condition of interaction with a realrotor machine shall not significantly influence the maincharacteristics of artificial neural networks

Figure 8 Cascade frequency response during deceleration of the rotor from 3900 rpm down to 1000 rpm during 32 sec calculated usingthe trajectory approach (a) neural network approach (b) and comparative results of the housingrsquos vibration measurement and the rotorrsquosvibration calculation (c)

numerical and experimental results is shown It could beseen from the graphs that numerical results match wellquantitatively (see Figures 8(a) and 8(b)) and qualitatively theexperimental results (see Figure 8(c))The calculated value ofthe critical speed matches the experimentally obtained valuequite well (see Figure 8(c))

So the solution of the rotor dynamics problems duringtransition regimes could be successfully implemented usingneural networks

4 Conclusion

An approach to neural network program module formationhas been presented aimed at calculation of the reaction forcersquoscomponents of the fluid film depending on the position andoscillation velocities of the center of a rotorThree approachesused in solving the rotor dynamics problem have been com-pared the trajectory approach the linearization approachand the neural network approach to approximation of theoil film reaction forces As a result of quantitative analysis

it has been determined that the use of linear and neuralapproximation allows decreasing the calculation time up totwo orders of magnitude It has also been determined thatif the amplitude of the rotorrsquos oscillation exceeds 10 of themean radial gap the neural network approach is up to 3 timesmore accurate compared to the linearization approach Alsoneural networks were used to simulate significantly nonlinearregimes of rotorrsquos vibration with high vibrodisplacement anddemonstrated good results in simulation of transient regimesThe considered models of a rotor and the fluid film wererelatively simple which significantly improved performanceusing conventional methods and aided sampling for neuralnetworkrsquos training Further complication of the models aswell as training under condition of interaction with a realrotor machine shall not significantly influence the maincharacteristics of artificial neural networks
