This thesis is concerned with the dynamic analysis of a geared rotor-bearing system. A finite element model of the geared rotor-bearing system is developed by taking account of the lateral-torsional coupling effect to obtain the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and the steady-state responses. From the response time histories, the FFT spectra can be obtained to investigate the effects of dynamic coupling terms under different grades of balance quality and spin speeds. In addition, the lateral response due to short circuit torque is examined to be substantial for the turbo-generator set. The nonlinear dynamic behavior of a geared system supported bysqueeze-film dampers is also investigated. The FFT spectra, Poincare maps and bifurcation maps are made to classify the responses whichinclude sub-harmonic, superharmonic, quasi- periodic, and chaotic responses. The hybrid technique of the Harmonic Balance Method and Time Collocation is employed to obtain the stability of the first variation equations with periodic coefficients, which is generatedby the perturbation technique.
