Optimizing Control for Rotor Vibration with Magnetorheological Fluid Damper

The aim of this work is to analyze and design a control system for vibration reduction in a rotor system using a shear mode magnetorheological fluid （MRF） damper. A dynamic model of the MRF damper-rotor system was built and simulated in Matlab/Simulink to analyze the rotor vibration characteristics and the vibration reduction dfeet of the MRF damper. Based on the numerical simulation analysis, an optimizing control strategy using pat- tern search method was proposed and designed. The control system was constructed on a test rotor bench and ex- periment validations on the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy were conducted. Experimental results show that rotor vibration caused by unbalance can be well controlled whether in resonance region （70~） or in non- resonance region （30 ~）. An irregular vibration amplitude jump can be suppressed with the optimization strategy. Furthermore, it is found that the rapidity of transient response and efficiency of optimizing technique depend on the pattern search step. The presented strategies and control system can be extended to multi-span （more than two or three spans） rotor system. It provides a powerful technical support for the extension and application in target and control for shafting vibration.     

基于磁流变阻尼器的转子系统振动随动控制

针对大型旋转机械通过临界转速时振动过大的问题,搭建了转子系统实验台,实验台保持原本的支撑形式,并安装磁流变阻尼器,实验研究不同工况下磁流变阻尼器对转子系统振动的影响规律.结果表明:磁流变阻尼器可以有效抑制转子系统临界转速附近的振动,降幅可达90%.根据实验结果提出一种以振幅为反馈控制参数的随动控制方法,对转子系统的振幅变化进行追踪,根据振幅实时调节磁流变阻尼器电流,在线抑制振动.结果表明随动控制可以随着转子系统振动变化而在线改变控制电流,使转子系统振动稳定在目标值附近,实现了转子振动的自动调控.
