The performance of the rotor of the electric eddy current dynamometer has a great influence on the capability of the dynamometer. The stiffness and damping of the rotor can be obtained by analyzing its motion equation. And the critical speed can be achieved by getting the natural frequency and the vibration through ADAMS based on the theory of flexibility. Based on the machine design handbook, some proofs were provided by the conclusion that the speed of the rotor should be the range of the different critical speed of the modal in order to assure the safety and high efficiency of the dynamometer. Focused on the need for the design of the rotor, this method which solves the difficulties of the intensive calculation in the design and optimization of the dynamometer’s rotor is exact and effective.

And Performance

Marine, industrial, turboprop and turboshaft gas turbine engines use nonaxisymmetric exhaust volutes for flow diffusion and pressure recovery. These processes result in a three-dimensional complex turbulent flow in the exhaust volute. The flows in the axial turbine and nonaxisymmetric exhaust volute are closely coupled and inherently unsteady, and they have a great influence on the turbine and exhaust aerodynamic characteristics. Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out research on coupled axial turbine and nonaxisymmetric exhaust volute aerodynamics, so as to provide reference for the high-efficiency turbine-volute designs. This paper summarizes and analyzes the recent advances in the field of coupled axial turbine and nonaxisymmetric exhaust volute aerodynamics for turbomachinery. This review covers the following topics that are important for turbine and volute coupled designs: (1) flow and loss characteristics of nonaxisymmetric exhaust volutes, (2) flow interactions between axial turbine and nonaxisymmetric exhaust volute, (3) improvement of turbine and volute performance within spatial limitations and (4) research methods of coupled turbine and exhaust volute aerodynamics. The emphasis is placed on the turbine-volute interactions and performance improvement. We also present our own insights regarding the current research trends and the prospects for future developments.

Rapid Separations

Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is a separation technique that hybridizes liquid chromatography (LC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). The selectivity offered by LC stationary phase results in rapid separations, high efficiency, high selectivity, minimal analyte and buffer consumption. Chip-based CE and CEC separation techniques are also gaining interest, as the microchip can provide precise on-chip control over the experiment. Capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) offers the contactless electrode configuration, and thus is not in contact with the solutions under investigation. This prevents contamination, so it can be easy to use as well as maintain. This study investigated a chip-based CE/CEC with C4D technique, including silicon-based microfluidic device fabrication processes with packaging, design and optimization. It also examined the compatibility of the silicon-based CEC microchip interfaced with C4D. In this paper, the authors demonstrated a nanofabrication technique for a novel microchip electrochromatography (MEC) device, whose capability is to be used as a mobile analytical equipment. This research investigated using samples of potassium ions, sodium ions and aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).

With the advantage of high adaptability, Miura-origami structure with curvature shows various engineering applications such as a sandwich between two stiff facings with curvature requirements and structural support to form a circular tube. In this research, a forming method of polymer circular tube with single-curved surface origami expressed by five parameters was established and its corresponding theory was solved considering forming rationality in actual manufacturing. The components of circular tube were fabricated by the vacuum forming process and then spliced together. We conducted numerical simulation to analyze the structural performance of the tube with five parameters and shown that these parameters have a great influence on energy absorbed performance. Finally, a male mold of a part with Arc Miura-origami structure was designed and fabricated. The parts with Arc Miura-origami were manufactured using vacuum forming process and then spliced and bonded together into a two-layer tube. This research may provide a method to design and fabricate Miura-origami structure with high efficiency and quality.

Stiffness And Damping

Gas foil bearings (GFBs) satisfy the requirements for oil-free turbomachinery, i.e., simple construction and ensuring low drag friction and reliable high speed operation. However, GFBs have a limited load capacity and minimal damping, as well as frequency and amplitude dependent stiffness and damping characteristics. This paper provides experimental results of the rotordynamic performance of a small rotor supported on two bump-type GFBs of length and diameter equal to 38.10mm. Coast down rotor responses from 25krpm to rest are recorded for various imbalance conditions and increasing air feed pressures. The peak amplitudes of rotor synchronous motion at the system critical speed are not proportional to the imbalance introduced. Furthermore, for the largest imbalance, the test system shows subsynchronous motions from 20.5krpm to 15krpm with a whirl frequency at ∼50% of shaft speed. Rotor imbalance exacerbates the severity of subsynchronous motions, thus denoting a forced nonlinearity in the GFBs. The rotor dynamic analysis with calculated GFB force coefficients predicts a critical speed at 8.5krpm, as in the experiments; and importantly enough, unstable operation in the same speed range as the test results for the largest imbalance. Predicted imbalance responses do not agree with the rotor measurements while crossing the critical speed, except for the lowest imbalance case. Gas pressurization through the bearings’ side ameliorates rotor subsynchronous motions and reduces the peak amplitudes at the critical speed. Posttest inspection reveal wear spots on the top foils and rotor surface.

Vibration Attenuation

A novel approach to vibration attenuation, based on the eddy current principle, is described. The combined effects of all magnetic forces acting in the oscillatory system attenuate frame vibrations and, concurrently, decrease the damped natural frequency. A mathematical model of the forces balance in the oscillatory system was derived before. Some experimental results from a mock-up machine frame excited by an asynchronous motor are presented.

In order to ensure the safety and reliability of power system, more and more monitoring and maintenance equipment on transmission lines are being used. However, these equipment would not work without the supply of power. At present, the current transformer has been widely used in the on line power acquisition device. As an important part of the current transformer, the performance magnetic core has great influence on the power acquisition. In this paper, the core parameters of the current transformer in the on-line power acquisition device are designed, and the parameters such as core material and air gap length are optimized and verified by simulation as well.

Vibrating Systems

In many cases, vibrating mechanical systems permit a reliable mathematical modeling with parameter values which are reasonably well known beforehand, except for the joints between different subsystems and at the boundaries. The boundary stiffness, which is often assumed as infinite, and the damping at the boundary, which is frequently ignored, are typically not well known. In this note, we discuss the identification of the boundary stiffness and damping parameters from modal data. As an example, we treat an elastic steel beam, for which an experimental modal analysis had been carried out in our laboratory.

This article presents a critical review of recent research done on crack identification and localization in structural beams using numerical and experimental modal analysis. Crack identification and localization in beams are very crucial in various engineering applications such as ship propeller shafts, aircraft wings, gantry cranes, and Turbo machinery blades. It is necessary to identify the damage in time; otherwise, there may be serious consequences like a catastrophic failure of the engineering structures. Experimental modal analysis is used to study the vibration characteristics of structures like natural frequency, damping and mode shapes. The modal parameters like natural frequency and mode shapes of undamaged and damaged beams are different. Based on this reason, structural damage can be detected, especially in beams. From the review of various research papers, it is identified that a lot of the research done on beams with open transverse crack. Crack location is identified by tracking variation in natural frequencies of a healthy and cracked beam
