Part I—Theoretical Model for a Synchronous Thermal Instability Operating in Overhung Rotors

Atheoretical model has been developed for a synchronous thermal instability that is caused by differential viscous shearing in bearings of overhung rotors. This model employs an unbalance threshold criterion for instability instead of utilizing a traditional frequency-domain stability analysis. The...
