As a core rotating component of power machinery and working machinery, the rotor system is widely used in the fields of machinery, electric power and aviation. When the system operates at high speed, the system stability is of great importance. To enhance the system stability, squeeze film damper (SFD) is being installed in the rotor system to alleviate vibration. The purpose of this paper is to first classify the rotor system into two types, the dual rotor system and the single rotor system, and to comprehensively and specifically mention the method of generating the dynamic model. Next, based on the establishment of a dynamic model with and without SFD in the rotor system, the optimization design of the rotor system with SFD was carried out using a genetic algorithm. Through sensitivity analysis, SFD clearance, shaft stiffness and oil viscosity were determined as design variables of the rotor system, and the objective function was the minimization of the maximum amplitude of the rotor system with SFD within the operation speed range.

In this paper, first, the rotor system was classified into two types, namely, the dual rotor system and the single rotor system, and the method of creating a dynamic model was comprehensively and specifically mentioned. Here, the dynamic model of the rotor system was derived in detail for the single rotor system and the dual rotor system with and without SFD. Next, based on the establishment of a dynamic model with and without SFD in the rotor system, the optimization design of the rotor system with SFD was carried out using a genetic algorithm. The sensitivity analysis of the unbalanced response was carried out to determine the design variables of the optimization design. Through sensitivity analysis, SFD clearance, shaft stiffness and oil viscosity were determined as design variables of the rotor system, and the objective function was the minimization of the maximum amplitude of the rotor system with SFD within the operation speed range.

SFD clearance, shaft stiffness and oil viscosity were determined as design variables of the rotor system through sensitivity analysis of the unbalanced response. These three variables are basic factors affecting the amplitude of the rotor system with SFD.

In the existing studies, only a dynamic model of a single rotor system with SFD was created, and the characteristic values of pure SFD were selected as optimization variables and optimization design was carried out. But in this study, the rotor system was classified into two types, namely, the dual rotor system and the single rotor system, and the method of creating a dynamic model was comprehensively and specifically mentioned. In addition, optimization design variables were selected and optimized design was performed through sensitivity analysis on the unbalanced response of factors affecting the vibration characteristics of the rotor system.
