For the investigation of nonlinear liquid-film force of tilting-pad guide bearings in a high reliability vertical rotor-bearing system
a model with eight coefficients and eight exponents is proposed to characterize the nonlinear liquid-film force. Eight functions are used to express the bearing stiffness and damping coefficients when the journal is in a local motion state at the static equilibrium point
and the eight exponents represent the nonlinear strength of liquid-film force. The nonlinear force exponents and nonlinear stiffness coefficients are analyzed with the variation of the operating parameters of static equilibrium
point and disturbance quantity as well as with the variation of structural parameters of pivot coefficient
preload factor and clearance ratio. A nonlinear weakening principle of liquid-film exponents is obtained from the analysis
and a four-pad water lubricated guide bearing for the nuclear main pump is assembled by a new pivot plus spring structure to realize the weakening principle. The results show that the nonlinear strength of the force relates to the static equilibrium point and disturbance quantity
the nonlinear strength of the liquid-film force increases with the nonlinear exponent p
m
while p
m
increases with the static eccentricity and disturbance
and the damping force can be considered to be linear. In addition
the preload factor has a greater influence on p
m
than the pivot coefficient and clearance ratio. Through the coupling adjustment of pivot assembly stiffness and preload factor
the nonlinear exponent of liquid-film force can be reduced while maintaining a constant linear bearing stiffness. The proposed model with eight coefficients and eight exponents is more intuitive to reflect the nonlinear strength of the liquid-film force compared with numerical solution and analytical method.
