ABSTRACT
A systematic analysis of the dynamic behavior of a gear-bearing system with nonlinear suspension, turbulent flow effect, long journal bearing approximation, nonlinear oil-film force and nonlinear gear mesh force is performed in the present study. The dynamic orbits of the system are observed by bifurcation diagrams plotted using the dimensionless unbalance coefficient and the dimensionless rotational speed ratio as control parameters. The onset of chaotic motion is identified from the phase diagrams, power spectra, Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimension of the gearbearing system. The numerical results reveal that the system exhibits a diverse range of periodic, sub-harmonic, quasiperiodic and chaotic behaviors. The results presented in this study provide some useful insights into the design and development of a gear-bearing system for rotating machinery that operates in highly rotational speed and highly nonlinear regimes.
