Calculation Results

This article is aimed to investigate the stick–slip oscillations of an engine front-end accessory drive system with a mechanical tensioner. Based on several assumptions, a generic dynamic model of rotational vibrations of an engine front-end accessory drive system with arbitrary number of accessory pulleys and one mechanical tensioner is established. In this model, the tensioner dry-friction torque is approximated by a hyperbolic tangent function with a scaling factor to control the sticking zone. An improved multiple harmonic balance method is used to solve the governing equations of rotations of the engine front-end accessory drive system and obtain the periodic rotational vibrations of the system accessory components. The calculation results obtained from the improved multiple harmonic balance method are verified by the results obtained from the Runge–Kutta integration method. Amplitude–frequency responses of rotational vibrations of the accessory components in the engine front-end accessory drive system are calculated using the arc-length technique based on the improved multiple harmonic balance method. Stick–slip oscillations of the tensioner arm with different values of the tensioner dry-friction torque are calculated and influences of the tensioner dry-friction on system rotational vibration amplitudes are analyzed. Variations of system vibration energies dissipated by the tensioner dry-friction at different crankshaft speeds with increases of the maximum tensioner dry-friction torque are calculated, and an optimum design of the tensioner dry-friction damping is given according to the results.

Linear Subsystem

A model of dry friction tensioner in a belt-pulley system considering transverse belt vibration is developed, and the influence of the dry friction on the system dynamics is examined. The discretized formulation is divided into a linear subsystem including linear coordinates and a nonlinear subsystem addressing tensioner arm vibration, which reduces the dimension of the iteration matrices when employing the harmonic balance method. The Coulomb damping at the tensioner arm pivot mitigates the tensioner arm vibration but not necessarily the vibrations of other system components. The extent of the mitigation varies for different excitation frequency ranges. The critical amplitude of the dry friction torque beyond which the system operates with a locked arm is determined analytically. Superharmonic resonances are observed in the responses of the generalized span coordinates, but their amplitudes are small. The energy dissipation at the tensioner arm hub is discussed, and the stick-slip phenomena of the arm are reflected in the velocity reversals near the arm extreme location. Dependence of the span tension fluctuations on Coulomb torque is explored.

The Impact

In this paper, the rotational vibration of a belt drive system with a dry friction tensioner subjected to multiple harmonic excitations is studied. The work is focused on the impact of the dry friction torque combined with the multiexcitation frequencies on dynamic characteristics of the system. An analytical solution procedure is developed for the first time to predict two kinds of periodic responses of the system, i.e., nonstop and one-stop motion characterized by the nonstick and stick-slip vibration of the tensioner arm in the system, respectively. Utilizing this method, parametric studies are carried out to obtain the frequency response of a prototypical belt drive system subjected to harmonic excitations from both the driving and driven pulleys. It is found that the tensioner Coulomb friction torque has a significant impact on the amplitude response of the system—it reduces the vibration amplitude of the tensioner arm, but for other components in the belt system it can either decrease or increase the amplitudes under different situations. Furthermore, if the excitation frequency from the driving pulley is larger than or equal to that from the driven pulley, the system vibration amplitudes are much larger than those under the opposite condition.

Dual Time Stepping

Contact interfaces with dry friction are frequently used in turbomachinery. Dry friction damping produced by the sliding surfaces of these interfaces reduces the amplitude of bladed-disk vibration. The relative displacements at these interfaces lead to fretting-wear which reduces the average life expectancy of the structure. Frequency response functions are calculated numerically by using the multi-Harmonic Balance Method (mHBM). The Dynamic Lagrangian Frequency-Time method is used to calculate contact forces in the frequency domain. A new strategy for solving non-linear systems based on dual time stepping is applied. This method is faster than using Newton solvers. It was used successfully for solving Nonlinear CFD equations in the frequency domain. This new approach allows identifying the steady state of worn systems by integrating wear rate equations a on dual time scale. The dual time equations are integrated by an implicit scheme. Of the different orders tested, the first order scheme provided the best results.

To understand the mechanism of interfacial damping of axial loosely assembled dovetail to suppress blade vibration, a dry friction force model is presented by the Coulomb friction law and the macroslip model, and the mathematical expression of the friction force is derived. The nonlinear friction force is linearized as an equivalent stiffness and an equivalent damping through the one-term harmonic balance method. The effect of centrifugal force on the equivalent stiffness and the equivalent damping is studied. The forced response of one simplified blade with loosely assembled dovetail attachment is predicted by the harmonic balance method, in which the blade is described by the lumped mass and spring model, and the friction contact joints is simplified as a ideal friction damper. The results show that the equivalent stiffness of loosely assembled dovetail attachment increases with blade centrifugal force, gradually reaches a certain value, and there exists the maximum value for the equivalent stiffness. The equivalent damping increases at the beginning and then decreases with blade centrifugal force increasing, there exists a maximum too. The resonant frequency of blade rises with blade centrifugal force, but it no longer increases when the centrifugal force exceed a certain value. There exists a special centrifugal force on which the effect of dry friction damping is the best.

A multi-harmonic, frequency domain analysis of dry friction damped systems is presented which uses an incremental harmonic balance method. When compared with time domain solution methods, it is found that the incremental harmonic balance method can yield very accurate results with some advantages over the time domain methods. Both one and two degree-of-freedom systems are studied.

Calculation Results

The harmonic balance method was used for the flow simulation in a centrifugal pump. Independence studies have been done to choose proper number of harmonic modes and inlet eddy viscosity ratio value. The results from harmonic balance method show good agreements with PIV experiments and unsteady calculation results (which is based on the dual time stepping method) for the predicted head and the phase-averaged velocity. A detailed analysis of the flow fields at different flow rates shows that the flow rate has an evident influence on the flow fields. At 0.6Qd, some vortices begin to appear in the impeller, and at 0.4Qdsome vortices have blocked the flow passage. The flow fields at different positions at 0.6Qdand 0.4Qdshow how the complicated flow phenomena are forming, developing, and even disappearing. The harmonic balance method can be used for the flow simulation in pumps, showing the same accuracy as unsteady methods, but is considerably faster.
