Modelling the dynamic behaviour of elevators with high lifting velocities (contemporary elevators in building construction and mine elevators) is a complex task and an important step in the design process and creating conditions for safe and reliable exploitation of these machines. Due to high heights and lifting velocities, the standard procedures for dynamic exploitation are not adequate. The study presents the method of forming a dynamic model to analyse nonstationary vibrations of a rope with time-varying length with nonholonomic boundary conditions in the position where the rope is connected with the cabin (cage) and in the upcoming point of its winding onto the pulley (drum). A unique method was applied to identify the basic parameters of the dynamic model (stiffness and damping) based on experimental measures for a concrete elevator. Due to the verification of this procedure, the experiment was conducted on a mine elevator in RTB Bor, Serbia. Using the obtained computer-experimental results, the simulations of the dynamic behaviour of an empty and loaded cage were shown. In addition, the study shows the specific method as the basis for forming a control program that would enable the decrease in vertical vibrations during an elevator starting and braking mode.

Abstract In order to study the dynamic position accuracy of bottom dead point (BDP) for multilink high-speed precision presses (MHSPPs), it’s essential to develop a dynamic model of planar multilink mechanism with clearance and spindle-bearing structure. Traditional models always neglect the effect of thermal characteristics of spindle-bearing structure, which reduces the prediction accuracy of dynamic model for multilink transmission mechanisms. To overcome the shortcomings of the previous models, a thermal network model (TNM) of the crankshaft-bearing system is established firstly considering the effects of thermal contact resistance and variable stiffness of bearing concerning the temperature rise. Then, dynamic model of the crankshaft-bearing system is built through the finite element method, which includes rigid disk, Timoshenko beam and quasi-statics model of ACBB. On this basis, an improved dynamic model of planar flexible multilink mechanism with clearance considering the thermal-mechanical coupling effect of the crankshaft-bearing structure is developed and the corresponding dynamic error dimension chain between slider and crankshaft is constructed in this work. Compared to the simulation from traditional models, the simulated slider’s BPD position error from the improved model agrees better with experimental data, which verifies the correctness of the proposed model. It’s demonstrated that the punching force and thermally induced variable stiffness of bearing lead to a significant increase of slider’s BDP position error, which reduces the machining precision of MHSPP. Furthermore, the influence of crankshaft speed, contact angle of bearing and clearance size on the slider’s BDP position error is also investigated.

Abstract In the present work, a dynamic model has been developed for the small-scale high-temperature ORC experimental test rig at the LUT University that utilizes waste heat from a heavy-duty diesel engine exhaust. The experimental facility consists of a high-speed Turbogenerator, heat exchanger components such as recuperator, condenser, and evaporator with a pre-feed pump to boost the working fluid pressure after the condensation process constituting a cycle. The turbogenerator consists of a supersonic radial-inflow turbine, a barske type main-feed pump, and a permanent magnet type generator components connected on a single shaft. Octamethyltrisiloxane (MDM) is the chosen organic working fluid in this cycle. Matlab-Simulink environment along with the open-source thermodynamic and transport database Cool-Prop has been chosen for calculating the thermodynamic properties of the dynamic model. A functional parameter approach has been followed for modeling each block component by predefined input and output parameters, aimed at modeling the performance characteristics with a limited number of inputs for both design and off-design operations of the cycle. The dynamic model is validated with the experimental data in addition to the investigation of exhaust gas mass flow regulation that establishes a control strategy for the dynamic model.

The increasing applications of flexible parallel robots in industrial production have presented the advantages of light weight and high speed, but at the same time, the elastic vibration problem has emerged. By investigating the modal features of flexible parallel robots so as to suppress the elastic vibration, with pinned-pinned as flexible intermediate links boundary conditions, this article analyzes the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic mathematical model of the 3-RRR (3-Rotate-Rotate-Rotate) flexible planar parallel robot with flexible intermediate links. The effect of the extremity concentrated rotation inertia of flexible intermediate links is considered in the mathematical model. Besides, the effect of inertia and coupling force on the dynamic model and the first three-order vibration responses of flexible intermediate links were discussed based on the established model. The corresponding spectrum characteristics were studied using fast Fourier transform. Comparing the frequency characteristics obtained by theoretical model and modal experiment, it was found that the results obtained by the dynamic mathematical model are quite close to the test results. Less dynamic parameters make it convenient to carry out the control program.

This work presents the dynamic modelling of a multibody systems in cross form constituted of a central body which is connected four flexible arms, at each end of arm is connected a rotor. A particular attention is given to the influence of flexibility on the dynamic behaviour of system. For elaborate the complete dynamic model, one consider the sub-structuration technique in using the Lagrangian approach based on the relatives coordinates method of central body. One establishes then the mathematics equations permitting to obtain the dynamic model of motion for the simulation and the control study. The aerodynamic loads and the gravity force are taking into account for the dynamic complete model. At the end, one considers the case of stationary flight of a miniature Quadrotor. The numerical results permit to simulate the motion of Quadrirotor in flight. But also to compare the flexible and rigid model in order to resort the flexibility effects.

In this paper the effect of front fork compliance on uncontrolled bicycle stability is analyzed. First the benchmark model of a bicycle is improved to take into account either torsion compliance or bending compliance of front fork, a lumped element approach is adopted introducing additional joints restrained by rotational springs and dampers. Two models having three degrees of freedom are developed and implemented in MATLAB codes to perform stability analysis. Then series of experimental tests are carried out on an advanced carbon fork and a standard steel fork, the modal analysis approach is adopted. Experimental methods and results are presented and discussed. A specific method is developed for identifying the stiffness and damping properties from the bending and torsion modes of the forks. Results obtained with the proposed method agree with data presented in literature. Finally, the identified stiffness and damping parameters are implemented in the simulation codes and some numerical simulations are carried out. Results presented in the paper show a small influence of torsion compliance on stability and a large influence of bending compliance on high speed stability.

Today's modern internal combustion engines are increasingly focused on downsizing, high fuel efficiency and low emissions, which requires appropriate design and technology of turbocharger bearing systems. Automotive turbochargers operate faster and with strong engine excitation; vibration management is becoming a challenge and manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the design of low vibration and high-performance balancing technology. This paper discusses the synchronous vibration management of the ball bearing cartridge turbocharger on high-speed balancer and it is a continuation of papers [1–3]. In a first step, the synchronous rotordynamics behavior is identified. A prediction code is developed to calculate the static and dynamic performance of “ball bearing cartridge-squeeze film damper”. The dynamic behavior of balls is modeled by a spring with stiffness calculated from Tedric Harris formulas and the damping is considered null. The squeeze film damper model is derived from the Osborne Reynolds equation for incompressible and synchronous fluid loading; the stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated assuming that the bearing is infinitely short, and the oil film pressure is modeled as a cavitated π film model. The stiffness and damping coefficients are integrated on a rotordynamics code and the bearing loads are calculated by converging with the bearing eccentricity ratio. In a second step, a finite element structural dynamics model is built for the system “turbocharger housing-high speed balancer fixture” and validated by experimental frequency response functions. In the last step, the rotating dynamic bearing loads on the squeeze film damper are coupled with transfer functions and the vibration on the housings is predicted. The vibration response under single and multi-plane unbalances correlates very well with test data from turbocharger unbalance masters. The prediction model allows a thorough understanding of ball bearing turbocharger vibration on a high speed balancer, thus optimizing the dynamic behavior of the “turbocharger-high speed balancer” structural system for better rotordynamics performance identification and selection of the appropriate balancing process at the development stage of the turbocharger.

Rotating systems components such as rotors, have dynamic characteristics that are of great importance to understand because they may cause failure of turbomachinery. Therefore, it is required to study a dynamic model to predict some vibration characteristics, in this case, the natural frequencies and mode shapes (both of free vibration) of a centrifugal compressor shaft. The peculiarity of the dynamic model proposed is that using frequency and displacements values obtained experimentally, it is possible to calculate the mass and stiffness distribution of the shaft, and then use these values to estimate the theoretical modal parameters. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the shaft were obtained with experimental modal analysis by using the impact test. The results predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental test. The model is also flexible with other geometries and has a great time and computing performance, which can be evaluated with respect to other commercial software in the future.

High-speed tactile roughness measurements set high demand on the trackability of the stylus probe. Because of the features of low mass, low probing force, and high signal linearity, the piezoresistive silicon microprobe is a hopeful candidate for high-speed roughness measurements. This paper investigates the trackability of these microprobes through building a theoretical dynamic model, measuring their resonant response, and performing tip-flight experiments on surfaces with sharp variations. Two microprobes are investigated and compared: one with an integrated silicon tip and one with a diamond tip glued to the end of the cantilever. The result indicates that the microprobe with the silicon tip has high trackability for measurements up to traverse speeds of 10 mm/s, while the resonant response of the microprobe with diamond tip needs to be improved for the application in high-speed topography measurements.
