Study on vibration characteristics of steam turbine vanes with large capacity (Vibration response characteristics of half ring structure)

In this paper we conduct study on flow-induced vibration of large-span upwelling radial steel Gate and its hydraulic hoist. Place an emphasis on vibration response characteristics under two working conditions of diversion and drainage, which proves the safety of hydraulic hoist gate vibration caused by gate vibration. Firstly, we study on dynamic characteristics of fluid-structure interaction of association system of gate and start and stop lever, reveals the discipline of the effect fluid having on structural dynamic characteristics. On this basis, flow-induced vibration characteristics under two conditions of with and without start and stop lever action considered. The results indicate that the gate vibration response with hydraulic hoist used decreases, which explains start and stop lever has certain effect of restraining vibration on gate vibration. In addition, under the working condition of drainage the vibration magnitude of start and stop lever is smaller than that of gate body, which explains there is damping action during transference of gate vibration through start and stop lever. The results find out that on the assumption of optimized gate structure and hydraulic arrangement, it is practicable, safe and reliable to adopt hydraulic hoist. The achievement has directive significance on similar projects construction in the future

In this study, the response surface (RS) method and forced rotordynamic analyses together with Finite-Element-Analysis (FEA) have been established to optimize the factors affecting the vibration characteristics. The spindle specification, bearings locations, cutting force, and motor-rotor unbalance mass are proposed to represent the design factors and then they are utilized to develop Machine Motorized Spindle (MMS). The FEA-based Design of Experiment (DOE) is adopted to simulate the output responses with the input factors, wherein these DOE design points are used to carry out the RS models to visualize more obvious factors affecting the dynamic characteristics of MMS. The sensitivities of these factors and their contributions to the vibration of imbalance response have been evaluated by using the RS models. The simulation results show that the motor-rotor shaft inner diameter, the distance of the back bearing location, and the rotating unbalance-mass are highly sensitive to the vibration characteristics compared to the other factors. It is found that more than two-fifths of total vibration response amplitude has been conducted by induced rotating imbalance mass. The results also showed that the proposed factors optimization method is practicable and effective in improving the vibration response characteristics.
