Increasing demands for high performance, yet reliable operation of rotating machinery continues to increase and have placed stringent requirements on designers and developers to produce efficient, trouble-free rotating machinery. The performance of high-performance turbomachinery can be enhanced by decreasing clearance between rotating parts and housing and/or by increasing the rotor velocity. When a rotor touches upon a boundary, it can exhibit a quite fascinating dynamical behavior and its motion depends on impact, friction, and gyroscopic effects. A large portion of the engineering concern with vibration in high speed rotating machinery results from its destructive effects on the stator system. Rub interactions between a rotor assembly and its corresponding casing structure has been one of the major causes for machine failure. The forces and tensions developed as a result of such clearances can result in wear, loss of performance, reduction of the stability, noise, heat and vibration. Gaining increased knowledge about rnb-related phenomena is important for improving the ability to protect a machine from damage. A key factor in achieving this objective continues to be the ability to accurately predict the dynamic response and stability of a rotor system. This work presents theoretical study, with numerical simulation and experimental validation to improve our knowledge about this phenomena.
