A regional jet’s iron bird was built for trouble shooting and design improvement of its airborne system. Modular design architecture and overall plan for the iron bird were proposed, and structure of the test rig, main tested systems, relevant supporting test systems and test programs were described. Besides, as one of the most critical airborne systems, NLG loading system was chosen for deep research; its mathematical model was built and analyzed in detail. Test results of hydraulic system’s main parameters were given. The whole iron bird provided important guarantee for system testing and continued design improvement. Also, test validation level for multi systems integration and fault diagnosis level of airborne system were improved.

The work presented here outlines details of tests performed on thrust washer bearings using a customized test rig, which was designed, fabricated, and instrumented to conduct tests on thrust washer bearings of varying sizes and thicknesses. The test rig was able to vary speed, axial load, oil input pressure, and oil input temperature. The system was composed of 6 main parts; the structure, drive system, runner, instrumentation pad, loading system, and instrumentation. The main support structure was fabricated using 1 inch square hollow bar stock steel (1018 steel). A 1 hp DC motor with a max speed of 3050 rpm and varying speed controller was used as a direct drive system to spin the runner against the bearing. The tests were conducted on three aluminum bearings of same design under almost constant operating conditions. The data obtained from tests performed on bearings included oil temperature, bearing temperature, oil film thickness, and pressure on bearing pads. It was found that the temperature at the surface of bearing and oil film pressure was directly related to the applied load. This information will be used to advance our understanding of smaller diameter thrust washer bearings and will assist in extrapolating these results to improve upon larger scale bearings.

High-speed railway rolling bearings are tested on a special test rig, where large transit axial and radial load is applied. Design of loading structure and electro-hydraulic servo loading system are used in the rig to simulate the real operating conditions of the bearings. A segment control strategy using different control parameters in different conditions is presented in this paper, for reducing the gap effect when the direction of the axial load is changed. This method effectively reduces the load response time to meet the technical requirements of the test rig.

In this paper, a control method for a hydraulic loading system of an electromechanical platform based on a fractional-order PID (Proportion-Integration-Differentiation) controller is proposed, which is used to drive the loading system of a mechatronic journal test rig. The mathematical model of the control system is established according to the principle of the electro-hydraulic system. Considering the indetermination of model parameters, the method of parameter identification was used to verify the rationality of the theoretical model. In order to improve the control precision of the hydraulic loading system, the traditional PID controller and fractional-order PID controller are designed by selecting appropriate tuning parameters. Their control performances are analyzed in frequency domain and time domain, respectively. The results show that the fractional-order PID controller has better control effect. By observing the actual control effect of the fractional-order PID controller on the journal test rig, the effectiveness of this control algorithm is verified.
