Reliability estimation of mechanical seals based on bivariate dependence analysis and considering model uncertainty

The reliability estimation of mechanical seals is of crucial importance due to their wide applications in pumps in various mechanical systems. Failure of mechanical seals might cause leakage, and might lead to system failure and other relevant consequences. In this study, the reliability estimation for mechanical seals based on bivariate dependence analysis and considering model uncertainty is proposed. The friction torque and leakage rate are two degradation performance indicators of mechanical seals that can be described by the Wiener process, Gamma process, and inverse Gaussian process. The dependence between the two indicators can be described by different copula functions. Then the model uncertainty is considered in the reliability estimation using the Bayesian Model Average (BMA) method, while the unknown parameters in the model are estimated by Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. A numerical simulation study and fatigue crack study are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the BMA method to capture model uncertainty. A degradation test of mechanical seals is conducted to verify the proposed model. The optimal stochastic process models for two performance indicators and copula function are determined based on the degradation data. The results show the necessity of using the BMA method in degradation modeling.     

Dynamic performance of a C/C composite finger seal in a tilting mode

The complex operating state of aeroengines has an impact on the performance of finger seals.However,little work has been focused on the issue and the dynamic performance of finger seals is also rarely studied.Therefore,a distributed mass equivalent model considering working conditions is proposed in this paper for solving the existing problems.The effects of the fiber bundle density and the preparation direction of the fiber bundle of a C/C composite on the dynamic performance of a finger seal are investigated in rotor tilt based on the proposed model.The difference between the C/C composite finger seal performances under the rotor precession and nutation tilt cases is also investigated.The results show that the fiber bundle density and the preparation direction of the fiber bundle have an influence on the dynamic performance of the finger seal as rotor tilt is considered,and the dynamic performance of the finger seal is different in the two kinds of tilting modes.In addition,a novel method for design of finger seals is presented based on the contact pressure between finger boots and the rotor.Finger seals with good leakage rates and low wear can be acquired in this method.

民用飞机短舱密封件防火试验技术研究

对于涡扇发动机,短舱的核心舱为指定火区。如果附件齿轮箱(AGB)布置在风扇舱,风扇舱是指定火区。短舱应满足防火的要求,以将火区和非火区完全隔离,防止火区的火焰或高温气体进入到其它区域,造成危害。短舱防火密封件是短舱防火墙的重要组成部分,在短舱和吊挂之间,以及短舱各部件之间的界面通常设计有密封件,部分密封件位于火区的边界,因此需要满足相应的防火设计要求,而防火试验验证是目前普遍采用的适航验证方法。从防火适航要求入手,分析了防火试验的要求,包括试验件要求、试验设备要求、试验环境要求,详细阐述了密封件的防火试验方法。最后以块状橡胶密封件防火试验为例,对试验结果进行了分析。对于进行短舱的防火墙试验具有指导意义。
