Bifurcation Behavior

Magnetic liquid double suspension bearing (MLDSB) includes electromagnetic system and hydrostatic system, and the bearing capacity and stiffness can be greatly improved. It is very suitable for the occasions of medium speed, heavy load, and starting frequently. Due to the mutual coupling and interaction between electromagnetic system and hydrostatic system, the probability and degree of static bifurcation are greatly increased and the operation stability is reduced. And flow of bearing cavity, coil current, oil film thickness, and galvanized layer thickness are the key parameters to ensure operation safe and stable, which has an important influence on the static bifurcation behavior. So this article intends to establish the coupling model of MLDSB to reveal the range of parameter combination in the case of static bifurcation. The influences of different parameter groups on the singularity characteristics, phase trajectory, x − t curves, and suction basin of the single DOF bearing system are analyzed. The result shows that there are nonzero singularities and static bifurcation occurs when ε 2 > 0 or δ 2 > 0 . As the flow of bearing cavity, coil current, oil film thickness, and galvanized layer thickness changes in turn, the singularities will convert between stable focus, unstable focus, stable node, and saddle point, and then the stable limit cycle may be generated. The attractiveness of singularity will change greatly with the flow of the bearing cavity and coil current changes slightly in the case of small current or large flow. The minimal change of galvanized layer thickness will lead to the fundamental change of the final stable equilibrium point of the rotor, while the final equilibrium point is slightly affected by the oil film thickness. This study can provide a reference for the supporting stability of MLDSB.

The Impact

The magnetic-liquid double suspension bearing (MLDSB) is a new type of suspension bearing, with electromagnetic suspension as the main part and hydrostatic supports as the auxiliary part. It can greatly improve the bearing capacity and stiffness of rotor-bearing systems and is suitable for a medium speed, heavy load, and frequent starting occasions. Compared with the active electromagnetic bearing system, the traditional protective bearing device is replaced by the hydrostatic system in MLDSB, and the impact-rubbing phenomenon can be restrained and buffered. Thus, the probability and degree of friction and wear between the rotor and the magnetic pole are reduced drastically when the electromagnetic system fails. In order to explore the difference in the dynamic behavior law of the impact-rubbing phenomenon between the traditional protection device and hydrostatic system, the dynamic equations of the rotor impact-rubbing in three kinds of protection devices (fixed ring/deep groove ball bearing/hydrostatic system) under electromagnetic failure mode are established, and the axial trajectory and motion law of the rotor are numerically simulated. Finally, the dynamic behavior characteristics of the rotor are compared and analyzed. The results show that: Among the three kinds of protection devices (fixed ring/deep groove ball bearing/hydrostatic system), the hydrostatic system has the least influence on bouncing time, impact-rubbing force, and impact-rubbing degree, and the maximum impact-rubbing force of MLDSB is greatly reduced. Therefore, the protective bear is not required to be installed in the MLDSB. This study provides the basis for the theory of the “gap impact-rubbing” of MLDSB under electromagnetic failure, and helps to identify electromagnetic faults.

The role of lubrication oil film on the cylinder liner as a source of hydrocarbon emissions in spark-ignition engines is assessed. First, the “source strength” is examined via an analytical model of the gasoline vapor absorption/desorption process. The solution shows that depending on engine operating conditions, there are three regimes. The process could be (1) limited by the gas side diffusion process, (2) limited by the liquid phase diffusion process, with the absorbed fuel fully penetrating the oil layer thickness (thin oil film regime), and (3) again limited by the liquid phase diffusion process, but with the absorbed fuel penetration depth small compared to the oil layer thickness (thick oil film regime). In regime (1), the source strength (the integrated absorption or desorption flux over one cycle) is proportional to the inverse of the square root of the rpm, but independent of oil layer parameters. In regimes (2), the strength is proportional to the oil film thickness divided by the Henry’s constant. In regime (3), the strength is independent of the oil film thickness, but is proportional to the fuel penetration depth divided by the Henry’s constant. Then, the oxidation of the desorbed fuel (using iso-octane as fuel) is examined with a one-dimensional reaction/diffusion model. The novel feature of the model is that the desorbed fuel is being exposed to the piston crevice hydrocarbon, which is laid along the liner as the piston descends. At stoichiometric conditions, the oxidation of the crevice HC is reduced by the presence of the desorbed HC from the oil layer.

Lubrication Conditions

In this paper a mixed lubrication model considering lubricant supply conditions on cylinder bore has been developed for the piston ring lubrication. The numerical procedures of both fully flooded and starved lubrication were included in the model. The lubrication equations and boundary conditions at the end of strokes were discussed in detail. The effects of piston ring design parameters, such as ring face profile and ring tension, on oil film thickness, friction force and power loss under fully flooded and starved lubrication conditions due to available lubricant supply on cylinder bore were studied. The simulation results show that the oil available in the inlet region of the oil film is important to the piston ring friction power loss. With different ring face crown heights and tensions, the changes of oil film thickness and friction force were apparent under fully flooded lubrication, but almost no changes were found under starved lubrication except at the end of a stroke. In addition, the oil film thickness and friction force were affected evidently by the ring face profile offsets under both fully flooded and starved lubrication conditions, and the offset towards the combustion chamber made a large contribution to forming thicker oil film during the expansion stroke. So under different lubricant supply conditions on the cylinder bore, the ring profile and tension need to be adjusted to reduce the friction and power loss. Moreover, the effects of lubricant viscosity, surface composite roughness, and engine operating speed on friction force and power loss were also discussed.

The behavior of seal-ring in the shaft seal which operates on oil film to seal high pressure gas is studied. The experiment on the 60 cm diameter seal-ring shows the slow whirl phenomenon, i.e., the local oil film thickness and that temperature varies with the period of about 100 seconds. The analytical model is formulated and predicts the oval deformation of seal-ring due to hot spots, and that the oval shape rotates slowly but periodically according to the shift of hot spots. Theoretical predictions are confirmed to agree well with the experiment. Also, the effects of some design parameters are described to prevent the relevant slow whirl.

Position Feedback

As a new type of suspension bearing, the magnetic liquid double suspension bearing (MLDSB) is mainly supported by electromagnetic suspension and supplemented by hydrostatic support. At present, the MLDSB adopts the regulation strategy of “electromagnetic-position feedback closed-loop, hydrostatic constant-flow supply” (referred to as CFC mode). In the equilibrium position, the external load is carried by the electromagnetic system, and the hydrostatic system produces no supporting force. Thus, the carrying capacity and supporting stiffness of the MLDSB can be reduced. To solve this problem, the double closed-loop control strategy of “electromagnetic system-force feedback inner loop and hydrostatic-position feedback outer loop” (referred to as DCL mode) was proposed to improve the bearing performance and operation stability of the MLDSB. First, the mathematical models of CFC mode and DCL mode of the single DOF supporting system were established. Second, the real-time variation laws of rotor displacement, flow/hydrostatic force, and regulating current/electromagnetic force in the two control modes were plotted, compared, and analyzed. Finally, the influence law of initial current, flow, and controller parameters on the dynamic and static characteristic index were analyzed in detail. The results show that compared with that in CFC mode, the displacement in DCL mode is smaller, and the adjustment time is shorter. The hydrostatic force is equal to the electromagnetic force in DCL mode when the rotor returns to the balance position. Moreover, the system in DCL mode has better robustness, and the initial flow has a more obvious influence on the dynamic and static characteristic indexes. This study provides a theoretical basis for stable suspension control and the safe and reliable operation of the MLDSB.

In this paper the relation of surface roughness of bearing surfaces to allowable film thickness is studied quantitatively with a simple Michell pad apparatus. The pads used were faced with white metal and ran against mild steel collars. The lubricants studied were water, soap solution, paraffin, and light oil. There was little difference in the frictional behaviour of any of the lubricants, except that the aqueous lubricants would not run with very finely finished steel surfaces. The onset of metal to metal contact was detected by an increase in the frictional drag, and also by the change in electrical conductivity between the pad and collar—an extremely sensitive method. The paper shows that there is, at any rate for this system, a quantitative relation between the total surface roughness of the rubbing surfaces and the calculated oil film thickness both at the initial metal to metal contact and seizure. Initial contact occurs when the outlet film thickness, calculated from normal hydrodynamic theory, falls to three times the maximum surface roughness and seizure occurs when it is double the average roughness.

The effect of single-sided and double-sided harmonic surface waviness on the film thickness, pressure, and temperature oscillations in an elastohydrodynamically lubricated eccentric-tappet pair has been investigated in relation to the eccentricity and the waviness wavelength. The results show that, during one working cycle, the waviness causes significant fluctuations of the oil film, pressure, and temperature, as well as a reduction in minimum film thickness. Smaller wavelength causes more dramatic variations in oil film. The fluctuations of the pressure, film thickness, temperature, and traction coefficient caused by double-sided waviness are nearly the same compared with the single-sided waviness, but the variations are less intense.
