Three Dimensional Elasticity

The elastic deformation of the bearing liner is considered in determining the static and dynamic performance characteristics of the centrally loaded 120° arc bearing for eccentricity ratio up to 0.8 and mean Reynolds number up to 7500. Using the finite element method, the pressure distribution in the fluid film and the elastic deformation in the bearing shell are obtained by solving the Reynolds equation and the three-dimensional elasticity equations iteratively. The performance characteristics of the bearing are computed for different values of the deformation coefficient which is a measure of the flexibility of the bearing shell. In addition, some results are also reported for laminar and turbulent flow conditions treating viscosity as a function of pressure.

Three Dimensional Elasticity

A computer aided elastohydrodynamic study of the three-lobe journal bearing with non-Newtonian lubricants is presented for the static and dynamic performance characteristics. The three-dimensional momentum and continuity equations in cylindrical coordinates governing the flow of Newtonian lubricants in the clearance space of a three-lobe journal bearing have been solved using the finite element method. The non-Newtonian effect is introduced by modifying the viscosity term for the model iteratively. Three-dimensional elasticity equations are solved to obtain deformations in the bearing shell. Static and dynamic performance characteristics are presented for a wide range of values of non-dimensional load, deformation coefficient and non-linearity factor.

Overall Performance

To determine the efficiency, load-bearing capacity and fatigue life of beveloid gears with intersecting axes, we design a mechanical gear test bed with closed power flow. To test the quality of its structure and predict its overall performance, we establish a three-dimensional solid model for various components based on the design parameters and adopt the technology of virtual prototyping simulation to conduct kinematics simulation on it. Then observe and verify the interactive kinematic situation of each component. Moreover, the finite element method is also utilized to carry out structural mechanics and dynamics analysis on some key components. The results indicate that the test bed can achieve the desired functionality, and the static and dynamic performance of some key components can also satisfy us.

Dynamic behaviour is significantly important in the design of large rotor systems supported on water-lubricated rubber bearings. In this study, the mathematical model of elastohydrodynamic lubrication of the bearing is established based on the theory of hydrodynamic lubrication after considering the elastic deformation of rubber, and the dynamic characteristics of water-lubricated rubber bearings are analysed under small perturbation conditions according to the load increment method and the finite difference method. Next, the differential equation of rotor systems coupled with the water-lubricated rubber bearing is deduced using Lagrange’s approach, and its critical speeds, stability, and unbalanced responses are analysed in detail. The numerical results show that several parameters, such as the eccentricity, length–diameter ratio, and clearance of bearing and the rotating speed of the rotor, have a great impact on the dynamic performance of water-lubricated rubber bearings, and this influence cannot be ignored, especially in the case of large eccentricity ratios. The dynamic characteristics of rotor systems guided by water-lubricated rubber bearings reveal that the critical speeds are much lower than the ones under the rigid supports because of the elastic deformation, and they also indicate that the rotor system supported on water-lubricated rubber bearings has a weaker stability. In addition, the steady-state responses of the rotor system are analysed when the mass unbalance of the propeller exists, and the effect of the thickness of the rubber liner is also considered.

Three Dimensional Elasticity

The dynamic response of an axisymmetric arbitrary laminated anisotropic cylindrical panel subjected to asymmetric load is studied on the basis of three-dimensional elasticity equations. The shell panel has a great length and is simply supported at both edges. The highly coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with variable coefficients by means of trigonometric function expansion in circumferential directions. The resulting OPEs are solved by Galerkin's finite element method. Numerical examples are presented for 45°/-45° and 45°/-45°/45° laminations under dynamic load. Finally, the results are compared with published results.

Meshing Process

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.

Theoretical Results

The boundary-point-least-squares technique is applied to the axisymmetric three-dimensional elasticity problem of a hollow circular cylinder normally intersecting with a perforated flat plate. The geometry of the intersection is partitioned into three parts. Boundary conditions on the middle part and continuity conditions between adjacent parts are satisfied using the numerical boundary-point-least-squares technique while the governing elasticity equations and all other boundary conditions are satisfied exactly. Sample theoretical results are presented for the case of axisymmetric radial tension loading on the plate. The results compare favorably with previously published experimental data and provide supplementary data to theoretical results obtained using existing shell theory solutions.
