With the development of the aero-engine rotor system towards accurate modeling, it is necessary to establish a general rotor system model considering many important strong nonlinear factors. In this paper, based on the finite element method, a 6-node rub-impact rotor system model including the newly-built blade-casing rub-impact force, climbing ma-neuvering load, nonlinear Hertz contact force of rolling bearing, rotor eccentric unbalance force, gravity field and squeeze film damper oil film force is established. The dynamic re-sponses of the system under different rub-impact stiffness, different oil film clearance and different bearing clearance are analyzed in detail by means of bifurcation diagram, three-dimensional spectrum diagram and axis trajectory diagram. Through comparative analysis, it is found that the change of the oil film clearance has the greatest influence on the rub-impact response of the system, followed by the bearing clearance, and the change of the rub-impact stiffness has the least influence on the rub-impact response of the system. The study of this paper can provide a theoretical basis for the rub-impact response of the rub-impact rotor system with squeeze film damper under climbing maneuvering flight.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
