The contact between the single bristle and the rotor shaft surface was modeled using the linear cantilever beam model and the augment Lagrange contact theory. The bristle-rotor contact force and flow-induced uniformly distributed bristle load in rotor cross section were considered in the present model. The influence of the bristle lay angle
interference and flow-induced uniformly distributed load in rotor cross section on the bristle-rotor contact force was numerically explored. The results show that the effect of the flow-induced uniformly distributed bristle load in rotor cross section on the rotor-bristle contact force is more significant than that of the bristle lay angle and the interference in the range of the studied parameters. The bristle-rotor contact force has a minimum value when the bristle lay angle equals 35°. In addition
the contact force decreases with the angle when the angle is below 35°. However
when the bristle lay angle varies beyond 35°
the contact force increases with the angle because of the effect of the flow-induced uniformly distributed load on the bristle in the rotor cross section.
