Common Base

The Natural frequency and vibration response calculation process of a generator set was automatized so that it can be used in a generator set common base frame concept design. The implementation of automatization was to be done so that no profound knowledge about the finite element method is needed to execute calculations and that computation times are short. Substructuring is used for certain parts of the generator set model to reduce the computation times for more a efficient concept design process. The common base frame concept design is implemented to the process by using a design tool in which the finite element model generation from parametric geometry is automatized. Generator set finite element model generation, natural frequency and vibration response calculations and post-processing of analysis results were implemented by developing a calculation tool for this purpose. The calculation tool is an independent application that uses Abaqus simulation software to execute analyses.

Low Frequency Vibration

In this study, a numerical approach is established to design a beam coupled to a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) with the aim to maximize the displacement in the inductive transducer. A finite element model is developed to simulate a VCM with different beams applying a harmonic analysis. The VCM is extracted from a recycled hard disk drive (HDD) and a parametric modal analysis is performed to identify the material parameters of the HDD and the beam. These parameters are obtained comparing the real vibration modes and natural frequencies (VCM-beam) with those determined from the finite element model. A numerical-experimental case study is carried out to demonstrate that if a beam is designed for a specific low frequency vibration between 0 and [Formula: see text], the displacements are maximized in the VCM. For this purpose, real acceleration measurements taken from three individuals are used to provide the vibration signals in the numerical model. A beam is designed for one of the individuals using the natural frequency values determined from the measured signals. Results show that the displacements are maximized in the model which coincides with the natural frequency of the chosen individual. The main purpose of this research is to establish a design tool for energy harvesting purposes with VCM based on low frequency vibration sources as for example gait motions.

Harmonic Response Analysis

Abstract. To make vehicles more reliable and efficient, many researchers have tried to improve the rotor performance. Although certain achievements have been made, the previous finite element model did not reflect the historical process of the motor rotor well, and the rigidity and mass in rotor optimization are less discussed together. This paper firstly introduces fractional order into a finite element model to conduct the harmonic response analysis. Then, we propose an optimal design framework of a rotor. In the framework, objective functions of rigidity and mass are defined, and the relationship between high rigidity and the first-order frequency is discussed. In order to find the optimal values, an accelerated optimization method based on response surface (ARSO) is proposed to find the suitable design parameters of rigidity and mass. Because the higher rigidity can be transformed into the first-order natural frequency by objective function, this paper analyzes the first-order frequency and mass of a motor rotor in the experiment. The results proved that not only is the fractional model effective, but also the ARSO can optimize the rotor structure. The first-order natural frequency of asynchronous motor rotor is increased by 11.2 %, and the mass is reduced by 13.8 %, which can realize high stiffness and light mass of asynchronous motor rotors.

Mountain Tunnels

Blasting construction of Houyuntai Mountain tunnels has vibration influence on ground masonry structures. 3-D finite element model is established to analyze this problem which indicates the house’s vibration response velocity induced by blasting loads. According to this analysis, the structure range of removal and strengthening is assured based on the allowable safety standard of 0.02~0.025m/s of blasting vibration. They include that the houses in 20m range of both sides of horizontal tunnel axis should be removed; the security in 20~28m range is not good, as a result the houses should be removed or strengthened; and the security over 28m range is good for houses. Moreover, some factors such as construction quality can influence houses’ anti-vibration safety.

This paper presents relationships between some vital parameters and the natural frequency of the ball screw feed drive system. A finite element model (FEM) of a machine tool feed drive system is established with joint parameters added in based on the SAMCEF software. Using the finite element model, the influences of the material properties of the worktable, the diameter of the ball screw and joint parameters on the natural frequency of axial vibration are derived. These results provide a reliable basis for the optimization design of the ball screw feed drive system.
