In view of the advantages of lightweight, high strength, easy cooling, and easy assembly, the rod-fastened rotor is widely used in the aeroengine and heavy gas turbine. However, because of assembly, stress relaxation, material creep, and other reasons, the clamping force of the tie rods will be out of tune during the long-term operation of the rotor. The detuning of the clamping force of the tie rods not only affects the contact stiffness of the contact interface but also causes the rod-fastened rotor with a certain residual shaft bow, which will affect the dynamic characteristics of the rod-fastened rotor. Based on the statistical model of rough surface contact (GW contact model), this paper presents a method to calculate the equivalent flexural stiffness of rough surface considering the detuning of the clamping force of the tie rods and gives the calculation method of the residual shaft bow deformation of the rod-fastened Jeffcott rotor with detuning of the tie rods. The effect of the preload, the rate of detuning of the tie rods, the number of detuning tie rods on the natural frequency, and the response of residual shaft bow of the rod-fastened Jeffcott rotor at a certain speed are investigated. The results show that the detuning of the tie rods makes the flexural stiffness of the rotor inconsistent along with two main stiffness directions of the rotor, which makes the natural frequency of the rotor divided into two. The negative detuning of the tie rods decreases the natural frequency of the rotor, while the positive detuning of the tie rods increases the natural frequency of the rotor. The smaller preload or the larger rate of detuning of the tie rods makes the detuning of the tie rods have a greater influence on the natural frequency of the rotor. These results will provide a theoretical reference for the dynamic analysis and design of the rod-fastened rotor.

Abstract Gear meshing stiffness is the key parameter to study the gear dynamic performance. However, the study on the calculation of gear meshing stiffness considering lubrication, especially mixed lubrication, is still insufficient. Based on the three-dimensional linear contact mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication model and the contact stiffness calculation method of rough surface, a method for calculating the gear meshing stiffness under mixed lubrication is proposed in this paper. According to the proposed calculation method, the effects of speed, external load, and roughness amplitude on gear meshing stiffness are further explored. The method can take into account the real rough surface topography and lubrication in the meshing process, so it may be more advantageous than the conventional method to some extent.

Rod-fastened rotors are composed of some disks clamped together by a central tie rod or several tie rods distributed along the circumference. Due to the nonlinear flexural stiffness of the contact interfaces in disks, especially when the contact surfaces are partially separated, the dynamics of the rod-fastened rotors are potentially different from that of the solid rotors. In this paper, the nonlinear flexural stiffness of a rod-fastened Jeffcott rotor is calculated by the finite element method (FEM). Then the harmonic balance method is adopted to analyze the dynamics of the rotor. The flexural stiffness of a rod-fastened Jeffcott rotor dramatically decreased with the increase of the dimensionless load γ1 from 1 to 2.5. Thus, the dynamics of the rotor were nonlinear when it was subjected to a large unbalance force. The response of the rotating rotor contains a predominantly forward 1X component or both forward 1X component and backward 1X components. However, the rotor may settle in a state depending upon both the operating parameters and its history.

Since many rotor systems normally operate above their critical speeds, the problem of accelerating the machine through its critical speeds without excessive vibration draws increasing attention. This paper provides an analytical imbalance response of the Jeffcott rotor under constant acceleration. The response consists of three parts: transient vibration due to the initial condition of the rotor, “synchronous” vibration, and suddenly occurring vibration at the damped natural frequency. This solution provides physical insight to the vibration of the rotor during acceleration.

When using thermocouples directly connected to ultra-violet galvanometers for recording temperature transients, the low-voltage outputs necessitate the use of galvanometers with low natural frequencies. This puts a limitation on the overall dynamic performance. In a particular application, the user has to select the damping resistor for the galvanometer and the work describes how this is done so that the system is optimised for minimum integrated errors during a transient. The transient considered was of an exponential type which occurs frequently in practice and it is shown that the correct damping ratio and hence damping resistor for the galvanometer depends upon the non-dimensional parameter defined by the product of the natural frequency of the galvanometer and the time constant of the exponential. The results show that the usual value of damping ratio of 0·64 based on minimum sinusoidal distortion has to be modified for best dynamic performance. However, if the non-dimensional parameter is sufficiently large, higher values of damping can be used, which produce a large trace with acceptably small errors.

The current load distribution model for cycloid drives based on the Hertz contact stiffness typically assumes a two-dimensional planar problem without considering the tooth longitudinal modification effects, which fails to comply with the practical situation. In this paper, this issue is clarified by developing a semi-analytical load distribution model based on a three-dimensional and linear elastic solution. Unloaded tooth contact analysis is introduced to determine the instantaneous mesh information. The tooth compliance model considering tooth contact deformation is established by combining the Boussinesq force–displacement relationships in elastic half-space with an influence coefficient method. With this, the loads, contact patterns, and loaded transmission error are calculated by enforcing the compatibility and equilibrium conditions. Comparisons to predictions made with the assumption of Hertz contact stiffness are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model, which shows good agreement. At the end, the effect of tooth longitudinal modifications on load distributions is investigated along with various loading conditions. This study yields an in-depth understanding of the multi-tooth contact characteristics of cycloid drives and provides an effective tool for extensive parameter sensitivity analysis and design optimization studies.

The natural frequency is the key performance parameters of a rubber materials damper, and it is determined by the static and dynamic shear properties of the rubber materials (rubber ring) and the moment of inertia of the inertia ring. The rubber ring is usually in compression state, and its static and dynamic shear properties are dependent on its sizes, compression ratio and chemical ingredients. A special fixture is designed and used for measuring static and dynamic shear performance of a rubber ring under different compression ratios in the study. To characterize the shear static and dynamic performances of rubbers, three constructive models (Kelvin-Voigt, the Maxwell and the fractional derivative constitutive model) are presented and the method for obtaining the model parameters in the fractional derivative constructive models are developed using the measured dynamic performance of a rubber shear specimen. The natural frequency of a rubber materials damper is calculated using the fractional derivative to characterize the rubber ring of the damper, and the calculated frequencies are compared with the measurements.
