The vibration response mechanism of a blade disk rotor system under the coupling effects of cracks and aerodynamic forces.

ABSTRACT: The important role of a dynamic model is to study the response characteristics of a system under different parameters or fault states. These response characteristics can be used in many aspects, such as condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. Usually, the response characteristics can be obtained through numerical analysis, but we do not know why such characteristics appear, which hinders our understanding and utilization of vibration. The innovation of this paper is to reasonably explain why such response characteristics appear. First, a simplified dynamic model of a typical blade disk rotor system is constructed by using the classical continuous parameter modeling method. Based on the dynamic model, for two structural forms of moving and stationary blades, the typical characteristics of the vibration response under the actions of aerodynamic force and blade cracks are analyzed by means of numerical solution. Then, from the perspective of kinematics and dynamics, the internal mechanism between the vibration responses and the excitations is revealed. Finally, based on Number Theory, the response characteristics and mechanisms of typical structures are summarized, and the general laws of responses with general structural forms are established.

Interoperable Nanoparticle Sensor Capable of Strain and Vibration Measurement for Rotor Blade Monitoring.

Project description:Recent advances in nanomaterials technology create the new possibility to fabricate high performance sensors. However, there has been limitations in terms of multivariate measurable and interoperable sensors. In this study, we fabricated an interoperable silver nanoparticle sensor fabricated by an aerodynamically focused nanomaterial (AFN) printing system which is a direct printing technique for inorganic nanomaterials onto a flexible substrate. The printed sensor exhibited the maximum measurable frequency of 850 Hz, and a gauge factor of 290.62. Using a fabricated sensor, we evaluated the sensing performance and demonstrated the measurement independency of strain and vibration sensing. Furthermore, using the proposed signal separation algorithm based on the Kalman filter, strain and vibration were each measured in real time. Finally, we applied the printed sensor to quadrotor condition monitoring to predict the motion of a quadrotor.

Coupling analysis of contra-rotating fan interstage pressure pulsation and blade vibration based on wavelet reconstruction.

Project description:In recent years, the flow characteristics research of the interstage region in counter-rotating axial fans in terms of fluid dynamics has attracted much attention. Especially, the dynamic relationship between interstage pressure pulsation and blade vibration in counter-rotating axial fans has not yet been clarified. This paper performs the signal processing method of wavelet decomposition and reconstruction in time-frequency analysis process. Under different flow conditions, weak-coupling numerical simulation program is employed to analyze the fluid-structure coupling interaction between interstage pressure pulsations and blade vibrations in counter-rotating axial fans. The results indicate that the fluid-structure coupling interaction field in the interstage of counter-rotating axial fans mainly excites the first-order vibration of the second-stage blade. At the same time, the consistency between the pulsation frequency and the vibration frequency of the airflow reflects the good coupling property. Two stage blades cut the airflow to cause field changes and airflow pulsation, and then, airflow pulsation causes blades deformation and produces vibrations of the same frequency at the blade. The deformation of the blades, in turn, causes the flow field changes. Rotating stall, vortex movement and breakdown produced low-frequency airflow pulsation and vortex vibration of the blade.

Wake characteristics of a freely rotating bioinspired swept rotor blade.

Project description:Rotor blades can be found in many engineering applications, mainly associated with converting energy from fluids to work (or electricity). Rotor blade geometry is a key factor in the mechanical efficiency of the energy conversion process. For example, wind turbines' performance directly depends on the blade geometry and the wake flow formed behind them. We suggest to use a bioinspired blade based on the common swift wing. Common swift (Apus apus) is known to be a long-distance flyer, able to stay aloft for long periods of time by maintaining high lift and low drag. We study the near-wake flow characteristics of a freely rotating rotor with swept blades and its aerodynamic loads. These are compared with a straight-bladed rotor. The experiments were conducted in a water flume using particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. Both blades were studied for four different flow speeds with freestream Reynolds numbers ranging from 23 000 to 41 000. Our results show that the near wake developed behind the swept-back blade was significantly different from the straight blade configuration. The near wake developed behind the swept-back blade exhibited relatively lower momentum loss and suppressed turbulent activity (mixing and production) compared with the straight blade. Comparing the aerodynamic characteristics, though the swept-back blade generated relatively less lift than the straight blade, the drag was relatively low. Thus, the swept-back blade produced two to three times higher lift-to-drag ratio than the straight blade. Based on these observations, we suggest that, with improved design optimizations, using the swept-back configuration in rotor blades (specifically used in wind turbines) can improve mechanical efficiency and reduce the energy loss during the conversion process.

Dynamics of a vibration-driven single disk.

Project description:Granular particles exhibit rich collective behaviors on vibration beds, but the motion of an isolated particle is not well understood even for uniform particles with a simple shape such as disks or spheres. Here we measured the motion of a single disk confined to a quasi-two-dimensional horizontal box on a vertically vibrating stage. The translational displacements obey compressed exponential distributions whose exponent [Formula: see text] increases with the frequency, while the rotational displacements exhibit unimodal distributions at low frequencies and bimodal distributions at high frequencies. During short time intervals, the translational displacements are subdiffusive and negatively correlated, while the rotational displacements are superdiffusive and positively correlated. After prolonged periods, the rotational displacements become diffusive and their correlations decay to zero. Both the rotational and the translational displacements exhibit white noise at low frequencies, and blue noise for translational motions and Brownian noise for rotational motions at high frequencies. The translational kinetic energy obeys Boltzmann distribution while the rotational kinetic energy deviates from it. Most energy is distributed in translational motions at low frequencies and in rotational motions at high frequencies, which violates the equipartition theorem. Translational and rotational motions are not correlated. These experimental results show that the random diffusion of such driven particles is distinct from thermal motion in both the translational and rotational degrees of freedom, which poses new challenges to theory. The results cast new light on the motion of individual particles and the collective motion of driven granular particles.

Aerodynamic efficiency of a bioinspired flapping wing rotor at low Reynolds number.

Project description:This study investigates the aerodynamic efficiency of a bioinspired flapping wing rotor kinematics which combines an active vertical flapping motion and a passive horizontal rotation induced by aerodynamic thrust. The aerodynamic efficiencies for producing both vertical lift and horizontal thrust of the wing are obtained using a quasi-steady aerodynamic model and two-dimensional (2D) CFD analysis at Reynolds number of 2500. The calculated efficiency data show that both efficiencies (propulsive efficiency-?p, and efficiency for producing lift-Pf ) of the wing are optimized at Strouhal number (St) between 0.1?and?0.5 for a range of wing pitch angles (upstroke angle of attack ?u less than 45°); the St for high Pf (St?=?0.1???0.3) is generally lower than for high ?p (St?=?0.2???0.5), while the St for equilibrium rotation states lies between the two. Further systematic calculations show that the natural equilibrium of the passive rotating wing automatically converges to high-efficiency states: above 85% of maximum Pf can be obtained for a wide range of prescribed wing kinematics. This study provides insight into the aerodynamic efficiency of biological flyers in cruising flight, as well as practical applications for micro air vehicle design.

Reconstructed Order Analysis-Based Vibration Monitoring under Variable Rotation Speed by Using Multiple Blade Tip-Timing Sensors.

Project description:On-line vibration monitoring is significant for high-speed rotating blades, and blade tip-timing (BTT) is generally regarded as a promising solution. BTT methods must assume that rotating speeds are constant. This assumption is impractical, and blade damages are always formed and accumulated during variable operational conditions. Thus, how to carry out BTT vibration monitoring under variable rotation speed (VRS) is a big challenge. Angular sampling-based order analyses have been widely used for vibration signals in rotating machinery with variable speeds. However, BTT vibration signals are well under-sampled, and Shannon's sampling theorem is not satisfied so that existing order analysis methods will not work well. To overcome this problem, a reconstructed order analysis-based BTT vibration monitoring method is proposed in this paper. First, the effects of VRS on BTT vibration monitoring are analyzed, and the basic structure of angular sampling-based BTT vibration monitoring under VRS is presented. Then a band-pass sampling-based engine order (EO) reconstruction algorithm is proposed for uniform BTT sensor configuration so that few BTT sensors can be used to extract high EOs. In addition, a periodically non-uniform sampling-based EO reconstruction algorithm is proposed for non-uniform BTT sensor configuration. Next, numerical simulations are done to validate the two reconstruction algorithms. In the end, an experimental set-up is built. Both uniform and non-uniform BTT vibration signals are collected, and reconstructed order analysis are carried out. Simulation and experimental results testify that the proposed algorithms can accurately capture characteristic high EOs of synchronous and asynchronous vibrations under VRS by using few BTT sensors. The significance of this paper is to overcome the limitation of conventional BTT methods of dealing with variable blade rotating speeds.

Paint it black: Efficacy of increased wind turbine rotor blade visibility to reduce avian fatalities.

Project description:As wind energy deployment increases and larger wind-power plants are considered, bird fatalities through collision with moving turbine rotor blades are expected to increase. However, few (cost-) effective deterrent or mitigation measures have so far been developed to reduce the risk of collision. Provision of "passive" visual cues may enhance the visibility of the rotor blades enabling birds to take evasive action in due time. Laboratory experiments have indicated that painting one of three rotor blades black minimizes motion smear (Hodos 2003, Minimization of motion smear: Reducing avian collisions with wind turbines). We tested the hypothesis that painting would increase the visibility of the blades, and that this would reduce fatality rates in situ, at the Smøla wind-power plant in Norway, using a Before-After-Control-Impact approach employing fatality searches. The annual fatality rate was significantly reduced at the turbines with a painted blade by over 70%, relative to the neighboring control (i.e., unpainted) turbines. The treatment had the largest effect on reduction of raptor fatalities; no white-tailed eagle carcasses were recorded after painting. Applying contrast painting to the rotor blades significantly reduced the collision risk for a range of birds. Painting the rotor blades at operational turbines was, however, resource demanding given that they had to be painted while in-place. However, if implemented before construction, this cost will be minimized. It is recommended to repeat this experiment at other sites to ensure that the outcomes are generic at various settings.

Identification of Load Categories in Rotor System Based on Vibration Analysis.

Project description:Rotating machinery is often subjected to variable loads during operation. Thus, monitoring and identifying different load types is important. Here, five typical load types have been qualitatively studied for a rotor system. A novel load category identification method for rotor system based on vibration signals is proposed. This method is a combination of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), energy feature extraction, and back propagation (BP) neural network. A dedicated load identification test bench for rotor system was developed. According to loads characteristics and test conditions, an experimental plan was formulated, and loading tests for five loads were conducted. Corresponding vibration signals of the rotor system were collected for each load condition via eddy current displacement sensor. Signals were reconstructed using EEMD, and then features were extracted followed by energy calculations. Finally, characteristics were input to the BP neural network, to identify different load types. Comparison and analysis of identifying data and test data revealed a general identification rate of 94.54%, achieving high identification accuracy and good robustness. This shows that the proposed method is feasible. Due to reliable and experimentally validated theoretical results, this method can be applied to load identification and fault diagnosis for rotor equipment used in engineering applications.

The aerodynamic forces and pressure distribution of a revolving pigeon wing.

Project description:The aerodynamic forces acting on a revolving dried pigeon wing and a flat card replica were measured with a propeller rig, effectively simulating a wing in continual downstroke. Two methods were adopted: direct measurement of the reaction vertical force and torque via a forceplate, and a map of the pressures along and across the wing measured with differential pressure sensors. Wings were tested at Reynolds numbers up to 108,000, typical for slow-flying pigeons, and considerably above previous similar measurements applied to insect and hummingbird wing and wing models. The pigeon wing out-performed the flat card replica, reaching lift coefficients of 1.64 compared with 1.44. Both real and model wings achieved much higher maximum lift coefficients, and at much higher geometric angles of attack (43°), than would be expected from wings tested in a windtunnel simulating translating flight. It therefore appears that some high-lift mechanisms, possibly analogous to those of slow-flying insects, may be available for birds flapping with wings at high angles of attack. The net magnitude and orientation of aerodynamic forces acting on a revolving pigeon wing can be determined from the differential pressure maps with a moderate degree of precision. With increasing angle of attack, variability in the pressure signals suddenly increases at an angle of attack between 33° and 38°, close to the angle of highest vertical force coefficient or lift coefficient; stall appears to be delayed compared with measurements from wings in windtunnels.
