Simulation of the Laval rotor supported by nonlinear bearings

The presented diploma thesis deals with simulation of Laval rotor supported by nonlinear bearings. The first part of thesis deals with research, which is focused on description of Laval rotor and motion equations for case of rigid and flexible rotor, also on description and modeling of hydrodynamic and magnetic bearing, which is considered in thesis. The second part of thesis deals with simulation of rotor for different approaches to modeling hydrodynamic and magnetic bearings. Using simulations performer in time domain, the dynamic behavior of Laval rotor is evaluated and compared. Simulations are performer in MATLAB
