Abstract: The dry friction dampers can generate friction damping through the contact of the friction pair, which has a broad prospect in rotor vibration suppression. To realize the active control of friction damping, an active magnetic elastic ring dry friction damper (AMERDFD) with the flexible support is designed, realizing the variation of friction damping by controlling the active magnetic actuator. Then, the model of the AMERDFD-twin rotor system is established, and the sensitivity of the damper with different support positions to the rotor vibration is analyzed. As a result, it is determined that the rotor vibration could be suppressed using AMERDFDs at the front / rear journal of the low-pressure fan / turbine shaft. After that, the control structure of tracking filter, least mean square module and model-free adaptive algorithm in series is adopted to simulate the vibration suppression of the twin rotor system. Finally, vibration suppression tests under the rotor run up and constant speed conditions were carried out on the designed test rig. The results show that the designed controller and dry friction damper can greatly suppress the vibration of the twin rotor system passing the critical speeds, and the maximum reduction can be up to 87.5%. In addition, the designed controller can effectively reduce the vibration of the target point at constant speed without significantly influencing the remaining measurement points.
