The Stability

Dynamic behaviour of spindle system influences chatter stability of machine tool considerably. Self-excited vibrations of the tool results in unstable cutting process which leads to the chatter on the work surface and it reduces the productivity. In this paper, a system of coupled spindle bearing system is employed by considering the angular contact ball bearing forces on stability of machining. Using Timoshenko beam element formulation, the spindle unit is analyzed by including the gyroscopic and centrifugal terms. Frequency response functions at the tool-tip are obtained from the dynamic spindle model. In the second phase, solid model of the system is developed and its dynamic response is obtained from three dimensional finite element analysis. The works on analysis of the stability of milling processes focus on calculating the stability boundary of the machining parameters based on the dynamic models characterizing the milling processes. The stability lobe diagrams are generated from frequency response functions (FRF’s) lead to an stability limit prediction for the system at high speed ranges.

Rotor Balancing

This paper introduces frequency response functions, analyzes the relationships between the frequency response functions and influence coefficients theoretically, and derives corresponding mathematical equations for high-speed rotor balancing. The relationships between the imbalance masses on the rotor and frequency response functions are also analyzed based upon the modal balancing method, and the equations related to the static and dynamic imbalance masses and the frequency response function are obtained. Experiments on a high-speed rotor balancing rig were performed to verify the theory, and the experimental data agree satisfactorily with the analytical solutions. The improvement on the traditional balancing method proposed in this paper will substantially reduce the number of rotor startups required during the balancing process of rotating machinery.

The Stability

Since heavier gases exert larger effects on rotordynamic stability, stability evaluation is important in developing or designing high-pressure compressors. To evaluate the rotor stability during operation, an excitation test using a magnetic bearing is the most practical method. In stability analysis, labyrinth seals can produce significant cross-coupling forces, which particularly reduce the damping ratio of the first forward mode. Therefore, forward modes should be distinguished from backward modes in the excitation test. One method that excites only the forward modes, not the backward modes (and vice versa), is the use of a rotating excitation. In this method, the force is simultaneously applied to two axes to excite the rotor in circular orbits. Two trigonometric functions, i.e., cosine and sine functions, are used to generate this rotation force. Another method is the use of a unidirectional excitation and a mathematical operation to distinguish the forward whirl from the backward whirl. In this method, a directional frequency response function that separates the two modes in the frequency domain is obtained from four frequency response functions by using a complex number expression for the rotor motion. In this study, the latter method was employed to evaluate the rotor stability of a high-pressure compressor. To obtain the frequencies and damping ratios of the eigenvalues, the curve fitting based on system identification methods, such as the prediction error method, was introduced for the derived frequency response functions. Firstly, these methods were applied to a base evaluation under a low-pressure gas operation, in which the stability mainly depends on the bearing property. Using the obtained results, the bearing coefficients were estimated. Next, the same methods were applied to stability evaluations under high-pressure gas operations. The destabilizing forces were also estimated from the test results and compared with the calculation results.

A chatter vibration in milling process results in poor surface finish and machining efficiency. To avoid the chatter vibration, the stability lobe diagram (SLD) which is the function of tool point frequency response functions (FRFs) is adopted to predict the chatter-free machining parameters. However, the tool point FRF varies with the changes of machining positions and feed directions within machine tool work volume. Considering this situation, this paper presents a method to predict the position and feed direction-dependent tool point FRF. First, modal parameters of the tool point FRFs obtained at some typical positions and feed directions are identified by the modal theory and matrix transformation method. With the sample information, a back propagation (BP) neural network whose inputs are the position coordinates and feed angle and outputs are the modal parameters can be trained with the aid of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Then, modal parameters corresponding to any position and feed direction can be predicted by the trained BP neural network and used to reorganize the tool point FRFs with the modal fitting technique. A case study was performed on a real vertical machining center to demonstrate the accurate prediction of position and feed direction-dependent tool point FRFs. Furthermore, the position and feed direction-dependent milling stability was researched and origin-symmetric distributions of the limiting axial cutting depths at each machining position were observed.

AbstractThe occurrence of chatter vibrations in 5-axis milling processes is a common problem and can result in part failure, surface defects and increased wear of the cutting tool and the machine tool. In order to prevent process vibrations, machining processes can be optimized by utilizing geometric physically-based simulation systems. Since the modal parameters of the machine tool are dependent on the position of the linear and rotary axes, the dynamic behavior of milling processes can change along the NC path despite constant engagement conditions. In order to model the pose-dependent modal properties at the tool tip, the frequency response functions (FRFs) were measured at different locations of the workspace of the machine tool for various poses of the rotary axis of the spindle. To take the varying compliance within the workspace of a machine tool into account in a geometric physically-based milling process simulation, different interpolation methods for interpolating FRFs or parameter values of oscillator-based compliance models (OPV) were applied. For validation, the resulting models were analyzed and compared to measured data. In OPV interpolation, the individual oscillation modes were interpolated in their respective characteristics based on the oscillator parameters (eigenfrequencies, modal masses and damping values). In FRF interpolation, however, there was no differentiation between the modes, resulting in a wrong interpolation. It can therefore provide good results when only a small shift of the eigenfrequencies is expected, as in case of the analyzed machine tool, with only small movements of the translatory axes.

AbstractThe aim of a transfer path analysis (TPA) is to view the transmission of vibrations in a mechanical system from the point of excitation over interface points to a reference point. For that matter, the Frequency Response Functions (FRF) of a system or the Transmissibility Matrix is determined and examined in conjunction with the interface forces at the transfer path. This paper will cover the application of an operational TPA for a wind turbine model. In doing so the path contribution of relevant transfer paths are made visible and can be optimized individually.

This paper demonstrates how to calculate Craig-Bampton component mode synthesis matrices from measured frequency response functions. The procedure is based on a modified residual flexibility method, from which the Craig-Bampton CMS matrices are recovered, as presented in the companion paper, Part I (Morgan et al., 1998). A system of two coupled beams is analyzed using the experimentally-based method. The individual beams’ CMS matrices are calculated from measured frequency response functions. Then, the two beams are analytically coupled together using the test-derived matrices. Good agreement is obtained between the coupled system and the measured results.

Abstract A frequency-domain technique to extract the normal mode from the measurement data for highly coupled structures is developed. The relation between the complex frequency response functions and the normal frequency response functions is derived. An algorithm is developed to calculate the normal modes from the complex frequency response functions. In this algorithm, only the magnitude and phase data at the undamped natural frequencies are utilized to extract the normal mode shapes. In addition, the developed technique is independent of the damping types. It is only dependent on the model of analysis. Two experimental examples are employed to illustrate the applicability of the technique. The effects due to different measurement locations are addressed. The results indicate that this technique can successfully extract the normal modes from the noisy frequency response functions of a highly coupled incomplete system.
