Complex of computational-methodological and experimental studies of the motion of a rotor on an ultramagnetic suspension

The results of computational-methodological and experimental studies of the motion of a rotor on an electromagnetic suspension are presented. Analytical methods and computer calculations are used to study nonlinear models. Experimental data are obtained for passage of the characteristic flexural resonance frequency. The investigations reveal the important factors in an electromagnetic suspension, illustrate their manifestation, and yield data to be taken into account in design work for a turbomachine in a nuclear power plant with a 100 tons vertical rotor.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
