In this paper suppression of the transient flexural vibrational disturbances in long rotors, with fluid film bearings, is investigated. The rotor is described by a series of distributed shafts connected by the lumped discs, and the system is mounted on lumped fluid film bearings. Upon determination of the dynamic stiffness matrix of the system, the best approximate transfer function matrix description of the rotor, is determined. Initially vibration suppression by simple diagonal Proportional + Integral (PI) controllers is studied and via direct search optimisation techniques the PI parameters which exhibit fast vibration suppression is found. The resulted high integration rate, and low proportional gain PI controller, theoretically provided fast suppression time. However, it is shown that due to the strong coupling effect in the rotor system, and high rate of integration, the closed loop relative stability is weak, and feasibility of controller is questionable. Therefore, an alternative simple first order controller without integration action, that is named “attenuation filter “is suggested that can produce stronger stability and produces significant (not full) vibration suppression. The closed loop multivariable control of the rotor system comprising two vibration sensors and two magnetic actuators using such attenuation filter, is then simulated. The response to step disturbances, has provided 95% suppression with significantly fast response. It is concluded that although the attenuation filter may not provide 100% suppression, but it more reliable since the integration of the error, that results weak stability is avoided.
