Relations Between Bearing Dynamic Coefficients


In Two Fixed Frames

The relationship between bearing dynamic coefficients in two different fixed frames can
be given in the following.
Components of bearing force F, involving stiffness and damping terms in XY reference
frame, as shown in Figure A4.1, can be expressed as

The same bearing forces can also be expressed in Xr Yr reference frame as

It can be seen that T 1 T T . The displacements in the two different frames can be
related by (see Appendix 8):

Differentiating Eq. (A4.5) with respect to time results in

Since is independent of the time, the above second term vanishes (it would be nonzero should reference frame Xr Yr rotate relative to XY reference frame). Comparison of
Eqs. (A4.1) and (A4.2) after substitution of Eqs. (A4.3) to (A4.6) into Eq. (A4.1) results in

K21 Kyx cos2  Kxx  Kyy sin cos  Kxy sin2

and

D12 Dxy cos2  Dxx  Dyy sin cos  Dyx sin2

It can be seen that, in general, elements of stiffness and damping matrices vary with
axis orientation. There exists one exception: when Kxx Kyy K1, Kxy  Kyx K2, and
Dxx Dyy D1, Dxy Dyx D2. In this case

Using Eqs (A4.1), (A4.7) and (A4.8), it can then easily be proved that

where l is fluid circumferential average velocity ratio and O is rotational speed. Thus
the parameter lO, the angular speed at which the fluid force rotates, is invariant to the
rotation of the stiffness and damping matrices, i.e. it is invariant to the assigned coordinate
system.
