Research on identification of unbalance parameters of rotor with multi-plane using improved particle swarm optimization

Based on Bentley RK4 test rig, the method of nonlinear particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to solve inverse problem instead of previous methods, which reduces identification complexity and avoids the ill posed problem caused by the singular equation in the process of solving. This paper realized model-based standard particle swarm optimization (SPSO) algorithm after modelling of the finite element model of rotor system and creating the optimization variables and individual fitness function, and then established asynchronous adaptive particle swarm optimization with optimizing speed weight and search scope. In order to further improve algorithm accuracy, chaos weighted particle swarm optimization and double chaos particle swarm optimization (DCPSO) are established. The simulation results of four methods show that DCPSO can realize accurate identification of unbalanced parameters with an average error of 2.86%. The effectiveness and rationality of this algorithm are verified from the speed of 240–3000 r/min. Particularly, at 2040 r/min, the percentage of amplitude decrease in two measuring points is 94.07% and 95.93%, which has achieved excellent vibration suppression effect.
