Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) offer contact-free and frictionless support of rotating
machinery. However, because of their limited force capacity, they have to incorporate …

Accurate rotordynamic analysis is critical in the achievement of efficient rotary machine
design, however the majority of models concern flexible shafts with concentrated supports …

Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) systems offer various advantages over conventional
bearings but due to their limited force capacity, with high levels of vibrations the rotor may …

The problem addressed in this thesis is the delevitation modelling of an active magnetic
bearing (AMB) supported rotor. A system model needs to be developed that models the …

Vibrations associated with external disturbances and rotor faults, such as cracks, usually
exhibit themselves as harmonic components of the synchronous frequency. The essence of …

ABSTRACT Active Magnetic Bearings incorporate retainer bearings due to their limited force
capacity. Once contact occurs, it is normal to run down the rotor. However, for many potential …

Abstract Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) have industrial interest in high-speed machinery
due to their advantage of no mechanical contact, no need for lubrication, high precision …

Active magnetic bearings offer the capability to control rotor vibration and transmitted forces
through the design of adaptive controllers. These controllers can take into account the …
