...Zenglin Guo; Gordon Kirk The mechanism of the Morton Effect induced synchronous instability has been discussed in Part 1, using an assumption of isotropic linear bearings. The second part of the current study will now focus on the more realistic systems, mid-span rotors supported...

...Zenglin Guo; Gordon Kirk The Morton Effect in rotor-bearing systems may lead to an unstable operation. In Part I, the mechanism of the Morton Effect–induced thermal instability in the mid-span rotor systems is studied. First, the equivalent thermal induced imbalance is introduced and its magnitude...
