Synchronous chirp mode extraction: A promising tool for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings under varying speed conditions

As critical components in modern aerospace productions, rolling element bearings(REBs) generally work under varying speed conditions, which brings great challenges to their operating health monitoring. Some novel time–frequency decomposition(TFD) algorithms are established recently to extract nonlinear features from the non-stationary signals effectively, which are promising for realizing fault diagnosis of REBs under varying speed conditions. However, numerous personal experiences must be incor...     

燃气轮机快速并车过程冲击及响应特性试验研究

为研究燃机快速并车过程中的冲击及响应特性,搭建并车试验台架,采用试验方法对并车参数和轴系部位对轴系动态响应幅值的影响开展研究。经过试验发现：快速并车过程中SSS离合器(同步自动换挡离合器)啮合瞬间会产生扭矩冲击,轴系因此产生明显的扭矩响应,并且相同的并车参数下扭矩响应的幅值会在一定范围内波动；降低并入机的设定扭矩或延长加载时间均可明显降低扭矩冲击和响应幅值；扭矩冲击对轴系不同部位产生的响应也不同,越靠近SSS离合器的位置,扭矩响应越大,且经过减速齿轮后响应明显降低。结果表明：所搭建的试验台架能够反映燃机快速并车过程中的冲击及响应特性,可为燃燃联合动力装置并车策略和安全性设计提供参考。     

Pressure performance for a thin-walled ring and turbulent-jet orifice modeled elastic squeeze film damper

This paper explores an analytical model for Elastic Ring Squeeze Film Damper (ERSFD) with thin-walled ring and turbulent-jet orifices, and uncovers its Oil Film Pressure Performance (OFPP). Firstly, the ring deformation is addressed by using the Fourier series expansion approach and the orifice outflow rate is characterized with the Prandtl boundary layer theory. Secondly, applying finite difference scheme, the influence of elastic ring flexibility, orifice diameter, and attitude angle on the OFPP is analyzed. Finally, Outer chamber pressure was measured experimentally at different rotor speeds. The results indicate that the outer chamber pressure coats an individual load-carrying region and spreads symmetrically pertaining to the attitude angle. Its amplitude drops as the elastic ring flexibility decreases but boosts with the reduction of the orifice diameter. For inner chamber pressure, the orifice diameter effects a similar trend to the outer cavity, but exhibits more stable distribution regarding the attitude angle. Minimizing the elastic ring flexibility causes an increase in amplitude. The model is validated by the test results giving that the outer chamber pressure shifts synchronously and periodically with the variation of the attitude angle, while the pressure amplitude increases slightly at higher rotor speeds.
