This research investigates transient behaviors of a rotor passing through resonance in a highsuperconducting bearing system. Such a low-damping multi-degree-of-freedom system, subjected to nonlinear force, can show complex dynamical behaviors, in which energy transfer occurs between modes through nonlinear coupling. Our numerical and experimental results show that, in a system of a high-Tc superconducting bearing, internal resonance can occur even in transient cases where the rotor passes through resonance. Effects of the internal resonance and also effects of the spin-up rate on the transient dynamics of the rotor have been examined and clarified by changing the period of increasing voltage applied to a D.C. motor for rotating the rotor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
