This study performs a systematic analysis of the dynamic behavior of the gear for the gear-bearing system with the turbulent flow effect, quadratic damping effect, nonlinear suspension effect, nonlinear oil-film force, and complicated gear mesh force. The dynamic orbits of the system are observed using bifurcation diagrams plotted using the dimensionless unbalance coefficient and the dimensionless rotational speed ratio as control parameters. The onset of chaotic motion is identified from the phase diagrams, power spectra, Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents, and fractal dimension of the gear-bearing system. The ignorance of quadratic damping effect for turbomachineries especially in turbulent cases may cause significant errors. The proposed simulation model and theory may provide some useful information for engineers in designing or controlling some turbomachineries particularly in turbulent flow cases.

A systematic analysis of the dynamic behaviours of a gear pair system based on a rotor—bearing system under strongly non-linear effects (i.e. non-linear suspension effect, non-linear oil-film force, non-linear rub-impact force, and non-linear gear mesh force) is presented in this study. The dynamic orbits of the system are observed using bifurcation diagrams plotted using the dimensionless unbalance coefficient, the dimensionless damping coefficient, and the dimensionless rotational speed ratio as control parameters. The onset of chaotic motion is specified from the phase diagrams, power spectra, Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents, and fractal dimension of the system. There exists various forms of periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic motions at different bifurcation parameters. The simulation results also found that highly non-periodic motions do exist in gear—rotor—bearing systems under those non-linear effects. The results presented in this study provide a better understanding of the operating conditions under which undesirable dynamic motion takes place in a gear—bearing system; they would therefore serve as a useful source of reference for engineers in designing and controlling such systems.

A systematic analysis of the dynamic behavior of a gear-bearing system with nonlinear suspension, couple-stress fluid flow effect, nonlinear oil-film force, and nonlinear gear mesh force is performed in the present study. The dynamic orbits of the system are observed using bifurcation diagrams plotted using the dimensionless rotational speed ratio as a control parameter. The onset of chaotic motion is identified from the phase diagrams, power spectra, Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimension of the gear-bearing system. The numerical results reveal that the system exhibits a diverse range of periodic, subharmonic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic behaviors. The couple-stress fluid would be a useful lubricating fluid to suppress nonlinear dynamic responses and improve the steady of the systems. The results presented in this study provide some useful insights into the design and development of a gear-bearing system for rotating machinery that operates in highly rotational speed and highly nonlinear regimes.

The current study performs a dynamic analysis of a rotor supported by two couple stress fluid film journal bearings with non-linear suspension. The dynamics of the rotor centre and bearing centre are studied. The analysis of the rotor—bearing system is investigated under the assumptions of a couple-stress lubricant and a short journal bearing approximation. The displacements in the horizontal and vertical directions are considered for various non-dimensional speed ratios. The analysis methods employed in this study include the dynamic trajectories of the rotor centre and the bearing centre, Poincaré maps, and bifurcation diagrams. The Lyapunov exponent analysis is also used to identify the onset of chaotic motion. Numerical results show that the stability of the system varies with the non-dimensional speed ratios. Specifically, it is found that the system is quasi-periodic at a small speed ratio ( s = 0.5). At speed ratios of s = 0.6–0.7, the system is periodic. At s = 0.8–1.9, the system is quasi-periodic, but the system is periodic at s = 2.0–2.6. However, the system exhibits chaotic motion at the speed ratios s = 2.7–2.74. At the speed ratios s = 2.75–3.16, the system becomes periodic. At s = 3.17–3.30, the system is unstable. The Poincaré map has a particular form at s = 3.17, indicative of a chaotic motion. At s = 3.31–6.0, the system finally becomes periodic. The results also confirm that the stability of the system varies with the non-dimensional speed ratios s and l∗. The results of this study allow suitable system parameters to be defined such that undesirable behaviour of the rotor centre can be avoided and the bearing system life extended as a result.

Delay Feedback Control

Time-delay feedback control can effectively broaden the damping frequency band and improve the damping efficiency. However, the existing time-delay feedback control strategy has no obvious effect on multi-frequency random excitation vibration reduction control. That is, when the frequency of external excitation is more complicated, there is no better way to obtain the best time-delay feedback control parameters. To overcome this issue, this paper is the first work of proposing an optimal calculation method that introduces stochastic excitation into the process of solving the delay feedback control parameters. It is a time-delay control parameter with a better damping effect for random excitation. In this paper, a 2 DOF one-quarter vehicle suspension model with time-delay is studied. First, the stability interval of time-delay feedback control parameters is solved by using the Lyapunov stability theory. Second, the optimal control parameters of the time-delay feedback control under random excitation are solved by particle swarm optimization (PSO). Finally, the simulation models of a one-quarter vehicle suspension simulation model are established. Random excitation and harmonic excitation are used as inputs. The response of the vehicle body under the frequency domain damping control method and the proposed control method is compared and simulated. To make the control precision higher and the solution speed faster, this paper simulates the model by using the precise integration method of transient history. The simulation results show that the acceleration of the vehicle body in the proposed control method is 13.05% less than the passive vibration absorber under random excitation. Compared with the time-delay feedback control optimized by frequency response function, the damping effect is 12.99%. The results show that the vibration displacement, vibration velocity, and vibration acceleration of the vehicle body are better than the frequency domain function optimization method, whether it is harmonic excitation or random excitation. The ride comfort of the vehicle is improved obviously. It provides a valuable tool for time-delay vibration reduction control under random excitation.

Purpose This study aims to study the dynamic characteristics of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts. Design/methodology/approach A finite element model of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts is developed, in which the rotating shafts of the system are composed of composite material and modeled as Timoshenko beam; a rigid mass is used to represent the gear and their gyroscopic effect is taken into account; bearings are modeled as linear spring-damper; and the equations of motion are obtained by applying Lagrange’s equation. Natural frequencies, mode description, lateral responses, axial responses, lamination angles, lamination numbers, gear mesh stiffness and bearing damping coefficients are investigated. Findings The desired mechanical properties could be constructed using different lamination numbers and fiber included angles by composite rotating shafts. The frequency of the lateral module decreases as the included angle of the fibers and the principal shaft of the composite material rotating shaft increase. Because of the gear mesh stiffness increase, the resonance frequency of the coupling module of the system decreases, the lateral module is not influenced and the steady-state response decreases. The amplitude of the steady-state lateral and axial responses gradually decreases as the bearing damping coefficient increases. Practical implications The model of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts is established in this paper. The dynamic characteristics of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite rotating shafts are investigated. The numerical results of this study can be used as a reference for subsequent personnel research. Originality/value The dynamic characteristics of the geared rotor-bearing system had been reported in some literature. However, the dynamic analysis of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts is still rarely investigated. This paper shows some novel results of lateral and axial response results obtained by different lamination angles and different lamination numbers. In the future, it makes valuable contributions for further development of dynamic analysis of a helical geared rotor-bearing system with composite material rotating shafts.

Time Average

A statistical approach for the treatment of turbulence data generated by computer simulations is presented. A model for compressible flows at large Reynolds numbers and low Mach numbers is used for simulating a backward-facing step airflow. A scaling analysis has justified the commonly used assumption that the internal energy transport due to turbulent velocity fluctuations and the work done by the pressure field are the only relevant mechanisms needed to model subgrid-scale flows. From the numerical simulations, the temporal series of velocities are collected for ten different positions in the flow domain, and are statistically treated. The statistical approach is based on probability averages of the flow quantities evaluated over several realizations of the simulated flow. We look at how long of a time average is necessary to obtain well-converged statistical results. For this end, we evaluate the mean-square difference between the time average and an ensemble average as the measure of convergence. This is an interesting question since the validity of the ergodic hypothesis is implicitly assumed in every turbulent flow simulation and its analysis. The ergodicity deviations from the numerical simulations are compared with theoretical predictions given by scaling arguments. A very good agreement is observed. Results for velocity fluctuations, normalized autocorrelation functions, power spectra, probability density distributions, as well as skewness and flatness coefficients are also presented.

The gear mesh stiffnesses have been regarded as constants in most previous models of geared rotor-bearing systems. In this paper, a dynamic analysis of a spur geared rotor-bearing system with nonlinear gear mesh stiffness is presented. The nonlinear gear mesh stiffness is accounted for by bending, fillet-foundation and contact deflections of gear teeth. A finite element model of the geared rotor-bearing system is developed, the equations of motion are obtained by applying Lagrange’s equation, and the dynamic responses are computed by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical method. Numerical results indicate that the proposed gear mesh stiffness provides a realistic dynamic response for spur geared rotor-bearing system.

Effective model representation of the normal component of ordered motions in the wall region of a turbulent flow is proposed. Analysis of this model enables us to express the value given by the Van Driest damping function at a point with coordinate y (distance to the wall) as a relationship between intensities of the normal component of pulsations which are defined at points 2y, y, and y/2. The novel formula has no empirical coefficients and can successfully replace the Van Driest function in computations. It appears to take account of the damping effect which results locally from distinct classes of ordered motions directed wallwards or outwards within the wall region of a turbulent flow.
