Study of self-oscillations of a distributed rotor from a material with hereditarily elastic properties

Self-oscillatory solutions of dynamic equations of transverse vibrations of a distributed rotating ideally balanced rotor (shaft) on an isotropic support made of a material with nonlinear hereditary properties are studied. The derivation of dynamic equations (mathematical model), which are a system of two nonlinear partial differential equations with an infinite (integral) delay of the time argument, is given. A mathematical formulation of the initial–boundary value problem is formulated, its solvability and correctness are proven. The stability of the zero solution (stable rotation), the mechanisms of loss of stability, and the self-oscillatory solutions bifurcating in this case are studied. The possibility of bifurcation of periodic solutions (direct asynchronous precessions) and invariant two-dimensional tori (beat modes) is shown. The stability of self-oscillating solutions is determined by the parameters of the problem under consideration. The method of central manifolds of distributed systems and the theory of bifurcations were used as a research method. Asymptotic formulas are constructed for self-oscillating solutions.
