The disks of rod fastening rotor are joined by discontinuous interfaces. Rotor accidents often occur when the interface slips or disengages due to the large load or laxity of the rod. In this study
the 3d contact finite element method is adopted to calculate the contact state
stress and deformation of the discontinuous interface under complex loads and different pre-tightening forces. The influences of failure mode
ultimate bearing capacity and preload on the critical failure point of the interfaces are analyzed. The results show that the interface has limiting values to bear torque
shear or bending moment under certain pre-tightening forces. The functional failure happens when the actual load exceeds the limiting value. There exist three different failure modes
i.e.
circumferential slip mode
lateral slip mode and top opening failure mode
corresponding to different load conditions. A “torsional yield” phenomenon may occur when a large torque loading is applied on the disks
which means occurrence of rapid increase of torsional angel or sudden drop of rotor stiffness. As a result
the rotor cannot undertake torque
and hence the failure of interface occurs. In addition
bending moment and shear load may also significantly reduce the critical load of the discontinuous disks.
