Stiffness And Damping

Stiffness and damping of hydrostatic guideways are calculated by small perturbation method based on Reynolds equation in dynamic regime. The hydrostatic guideway is considered as a system which consists of the mass, the spring and the damper. The effects of some main parameters on stiffness, damping and damping ratio are analyzed which include the supply pressure, the film thickness, the pad dimension, the pressure ratio, the lubricating oil volume and the lubricating oil viscosity. The relationships between the settling time of the hydrostatic guideways and these parameters are investigated under a step load. It is shown that the slide block returns to equilibrium without overshooting under a step load, and the amplitude of the block vibration has not a maximum value under a cyclic load, due to the large damping effect( ξ>1). In addition, the settling time can be shorten with the increase of the supply pressure, the film thickness and the lubricating oil volume, and also with the decrease of the pressure ratio and the lubricating oil viscosity. The settling time get the shortest value when recess parameter( α) is 0.55.

Abstract The high requirements for sealing performance in high-speed rotating machinery has led to the design of floating seal with annular spiral groove that offer the advantages of low leakage and extended stability. However, efforts to model the dynamic performance of these floating seal have suffered from the great complexity of the flow field. The present work addresses this issue by establishing a transient Reynolds formulation of a floating seal with annular spiral groove in a rotating coordinate system based on the small perturbation method. In addition, the influence of radial eccentricity and film thickness on the solution divergence and calculation accuracy is calculated. The dynamic stiffness and dynamic damping matrixes are built. Then the variation rules of the dynamic stiffness and damping coefficient of the gas film with structure and working conditions are investigated in detail. The results show that the floating ring seal is more suitable for the service conditions of small film thickness, low pressure, high speed and large eccentricity. Accordingly, the results obtained lay a theoretical foundation for evaluating real-world applications of floating ring seal.

To find some rules keeping good lubrication condition for plane port pair in high-performance axial piston pump or motor, especially in the very severe applications, a new test rig was built up to simulate the operational principle of port pair, and to form the lubricating oil film for representative parameter acquisition. This rig is principally characterized by supply pressure up to 30 MPa, accurate control of oil film thickness by separate oil circuit design and electrohydraulic feedback control. The tested oil film working properties was analyzed by comparison with theoretical or simulation references. Experiments show that film balance time and thickness are two key parameters for describing oil film properties, and that working condition factors such as supply pressure, lubricating fluid temperature also notably affects the film thickness and its configuration, but they don’t show equivalent action. Lubrication effects can be valued by the tested frictional torque change of port pair.

The following paper focuses on an experimental and analytical study aimed at identifying the dynamic force coefficients of hydrostatic gas films for recessed flat plates. The motivation for the effort was brought upon by the necessity of generating more accurate models for hydrostatic gas films found in hybrid gas bearings. Pressurized air at room temperature up to 120 psi was used to test different recess geometries on a flat plate test rig, capable of characterizing the stiffness and damping force coefficients for varying supply pressures, gas film thickness values, excitation frequencies, and vibration amplitudes. The test rig design and operation is described. Experimental results include frequency-dependent stiffness and damping coefficients, and leakage. The test results show that using external pressurization can generate large stiffness values while exhibiting small leakage. However, the results also show that the majority of the test configurations portray high negative damping values. An analytical model is presented and numerical predictions are compared to experimental results. Example damping trends as a function of frequency, pressure, and film thickness are presented in addition to force coefficient plots as functions of pressure ratio.

In this paper, the pressure distribution of aerostatic thrust bearings with vacuum pre-loading was investigated by solving the full Navier–Stokes equations based on the computational fluid dynamics method. The influences of the supply pressure, vacuum pressure, orifice diameter, and gas film thickness on the absolute pressure ratio were investigated. The finite difference method was used to study the effects of the vacuum chamber area, orifice diameter, orifice number, supply pressure, and vacuum pressure on the bearing stiffness. It is confirmed that the orifice diameter and film thickness had a great influence on the absolute pressure ratio, which increased with the reduction in the gas film thickness and the rise in the orifice diameter. The bearing stiffness can be improved by increasing the supply pressure, orifice number or vacuum chamber area or decreasing the orifice diameter or vacuum pressure, which provides useful guidance for the optimization design of aerostatic thrust bearings with vacuum preloading.

Purpose This paper aims to study the influence of three-column groove shell radius, ball radius, lubricating oil viscosity and elastic modulus on the thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) characteristics and optimisation of the ball-type tripod universal joint. Design/methodology/approach The point contact TEHL model of the joint was developed, and the multi-grid method was used to solve it. The influence of three-column groove shell radius, ball radius, lubricating oil viscosity and elastic modulus on the lubrication characteristics was analysed. Further, the optimisation of the joint TEHL performance was carried out by the Kriging approximation model combined with the multi-objective particle swarm optimisation (MOPSO) algorithm. Findings The research results show that increasing groove shell radius and ball radius can effectively increase the oil film thickness, and decrease the oil film pressure, as well as the temperature rise. Decreasing elastic modulus can reduce the oil film temperature rise and pressure, and increasing viscosity can effectively increase the oil film thickness. The optimised minimum oil film thickness increases by 33.23% and the optimised maximum oil film pressure and maximum temperature rise decrease by 11.92% and 28.87%, respectively. Furthermore, the relative error of each response output is less than 10%. Originality/value This study applies TEHL theory to the tribological research of the ball-type tripod universal joint, and the joint’s lubrication performance is improved greatly by the Kriging model and MOPSO algorithm, which provides an effective measure to raise the joint’s working efficiency.

The main advantage of this bearing is that it can very easily be manufactured. Special attention has been paid to problems of optimization with regard to minimum film thickness and friction, respectively. Stiffness and damping coefficients have been calculated as well as stability regions and stability parameters. Additionally, the optimum position of the oil grooves has been investigated.

The precise prediction of a rotor against instability is needed for avoiding the degradation or failure of the system’s performance due to the parametric variabilities of a bearing system. In general, the design of the journal bearing is framed based on the deterministic theoretical analysis. To map the precise prediction of hydrodynamic performance, it is needed to include the uncertain effect of input parameters on the output behavior of the journal bearing. This paper presents the uncertain hydrodynamic analysis of a two-axial-groove journal bearing including randomness in bearing oil viscosity and supply pressure. To simulate the uncertainty in the input parameters, the Monte Carlo simulation is carried out. A support vector machine is employed as a metamodel to increase the computational efficiency. Both individual and compound effects of uncertainties in the input parameters are studied to quantify their effect on the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of the bearing.

Stiffness And Damping

As human occupancy has an enormous effect on the dynamics of light, flexible, large-span, low-damping structures, which are sensitive to human-induced vibrations, it is essential to investigate the effects of pedestrian–structure interaction. The single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) mass–spring–damping (MSD) model, the simplest dynamical model that considers how pedestrian mass, stiffness and damping impact the dynamic properties of structures, is widely used in civil engineering. With field testing methods and the SDOF MSD model, this study obtained pedestrian dynamics parameters from measured data of the properties of both empty structures and structures with pedestrian occupancy. The parameters identification procedure involved individuals at four walking frequencies. Body frequency is positively correlated to the walking frequency, while a negative correlation is observed between the body damping ratio and the walking frequency. The test results further show a negative correlation between the pedestrian’s frequency and his/her weight, but no significant correlation exists between one’s damping ratio and weight. The findings provide a reference for structural vibration serviceability assessments that would consider pedestrian–structure interaction effects.
