The ring-speed ratio is a comprehensive dynamic index of floating ring bearing structure and operating parameters, which directly affects the dynamic behavior of the turbocharger rotor system. The cross stiffness of ring-speed ratio and floating ring bearing and the work of oil film force are analyzed. The influence of dynamic ring-speed ratio change on the vibration response of floating ring bearing was studied. The finite element model of the rotor-floating ring bearing system is constructed; its model parameters are verified through the measured critical rotor speed. Newmark integral method is used to analyze the nonlinear transient response. The results show that when the ring-speed ratio is between 0.18 and 0.24, the rotor is in a good operating state; when it increases from 0.24 to 0.36, the rotor vibration is dominated by frequency division, and the system will be less stable. The square of the ring-speed ratio is inversely proportional to the rotational speed of the journal where the subfrequency vibration occurs. It helps to know the nonlinear vibration by judging the journal speed when the rotor vibration occurs in subfrequency. The conclusion provides a reference for the mechanical dynamics design and intelligent management and maintenance of this kind of turbine rotors.
