Vertical Axis Tidal Turbine

A vertical-axis tidal turbine was designed in the paper. Modal analysis of the vertical-axis tidal turbine was investigated based finite element software analysis method. Finite element simulation model for modal analysis of the accelerator and the whole tidal turbine were built by appropriate structure simplification. And, the anterior 10 ranks of natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes were calculated. Modal analysis results show that the natural frequency of the turbine away from the frequencies of tidal current incentive, impeller incentive and generator rotor incentive, so the resonance phenomenon does not exist in the turbine of the paper. Also, the modal analysis results show that the input of the accelerator and leaves of impeller have a large deformation, and the stiffness of the input shaft and spokes and leaves of impeller should be increased.

As the less-teeth gear has the less-teeth, the bigger helix angle and the more contact ratio etc. The research of dynamic meshing characteristics makes focus, and modal analysis is the basis of dynamic analysis. In order to get the modal analysis characteristics: firstly the parametric solid modeling is realized through the software of MATLAB and PRO/E; secondly multistage inherent frequencies and mode shapes are achieved by the finite element software of ANSYS Workbench.

Automotive Clutch

Clutch system is an important element in the vehicle powertrain. It transmits the rotation from the crankshaft to the gearbox input shaft and filters axial and torsional vibrations providing from engine or induced by friction. This paper discusses axial dynamic behavior of automotive clutch for manual transmission. For this study, a tridimensional finite element model of clutch system is developed to simulate a clutch shaker test. First, an impact hammer test is performed to identify vibration properties of each clutch component. A pre-stressed modal analysis is then carried out to determine mode shapes and its associated natural frequencies of the clutch assembly. Shaker and simulation results are eventually compared to validate the clutch model. This latter offers for the design phase, a tool to avoid natural vibrations or to vibrate at specified frequencies.

As a key component of satellite flexographic printing equipment, the vibration characteristics of the central impression cylinder have an important effect on the product quality. In order to improve dynamic characteristic of the central impression cylinder, the modal analysis on the central impression cylinder is carried out in combination with finite element software in this paper. Then, the modal properties are systematically compared between the central impression cylinder with circulating cooling water and without. The results show that the natural frequency of the central impression cylinder is greatly reduced based on the fluid–solid coupling method. Simultaneously, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the central impression cylinder based on the finite element analysis are verified by an experimental test. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results, indicating the effectiveness of the finite element model and experimental method used in this study.

With the popularity of the water lubricated rubber stern bearing, researches around rubber bearings are becoming more and more popular in recent years. This paper built a 3D numerical model of water-lubricated rubber stern bearing and did both free boundary and constraint modal analysis using finite element software ANSYS. The results show that free modes of water-lubricated rubber stern bearing are correlating with the constraint modes. The natural frequency distributes intensely in low frequency and the modal shapes mainly focus in the inner lining. Along with mode order increased, the mode shapes become more complicated. The mode shapes mainly embodies in the inner lining.

In this study, the effect of crack on free vibration of a large deflected cantilever plate, which forms the case of a pre-stressed curved plate, is investigated. A distributed load is applied at the free edge of a thin cantilever plate. Then, the loading edge of the deflected plate is fixed to obtain a pre-stressed curved plate. The large deflection equation provides the non - linear deflection curve of the large deflected flexible plate. The thin curved plate is modeled by using the finite element method with a four-node quadrilateral element. Three different aspect ratios are used to examine the effect of crack. The effect of crack and its location on the natural frequency parameter is given in tables and graphs. Also, the natural frequency parameters of the present model are compared with the finite element software results to verify the reliability and validity of the present model. This study shows that the different mode shapes are occurred due to the change of load parameter, and these different mode shapes cause a change in the effect of crack.

Composite Blades

In the far north, low temperatures and atmospheric icing are a major danger for the safe operation of wind turbines. It can cause several problems in fatigue loads, the balance of the rotor and aerodynamics. With the aim of improving the rigidity of the wind turbine blade, composite materials are currently being used. A numerical work aims to evaluate the effect of ice on composite blades and to determine the most adequate material under icing conditions. Different ice thicknesses are considered in the lower part of the blade. In this paper, modal analysis is performed to obtain the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of the structure. This analysis is elaborated using the finite element method (FEM) computer program through ABAQUS software. The results have laid that the natural frequencies of the blade varied according to the material and thickness of ice and that there is no resonance phenomenon.
