An analytical method of solution for the high-speed dynamic response of a lumped/distributed parameter model for cam-follower systems is developed. The model combines the distributed parameter model of the return spring with a viscously damped, single degree-of-freedom, lumped model of the elastic follower train. The cam event is considered as a periodic motion, of period 360 deg, and is represented by its Fourier series approximation. Linear systems approach utilizing four-pole parameter representation of lumped and distributed elements is adopted. The applicability and the accuracy of the method are verified with the aid of the experimental results reported in recent literature on the dynamic response of a high-speed cam-follower system.

Part 2 describes the development of a dynamic model of a high-speed cam-follower system in which the return spring is modeled as a distributed-parameter element. The dynamic response requires the solution of a coupled set of differential equations, one ordinary and one partial. The dynamic model has the unique capability of faithfully reproducing the effect of the higher harmonics of the cam lift curve on system performance. The model, which has been refined and verified with the aid of the results described in Part 1, is capable of accurately predicting both normal system response as well as pathological behavior associated with the onset of toss, bounce, and spring surge. In comparison, a lumped-parameter dynamic model (differing only in the modeling of the valve spring) does not adequately predict the onset of pathological behavior.

A highly accurate and predictive dynamic model of a high-speed cam-follower system has been developed and verified. In view of the predominance of Coulomb damping in high-speed cam-follower systems, this form of damping has been used as the chief mode of energy dissipation. This has resulted in a significant improvement in the predictive capability of the dynamic model. The accuracy of the model can also be attributed to careful modeling of system components such as the distributed-parameter modeling of the valve spring, the modeling of the hydraulic lifter, and modeling of the damping due to a nested-valve spring. The latter two represent the first such modeling in the area of cam-follower systems.

The synthesis of the parameters governing the dynamic response of high-speed cam-follower systems ideally involves an integrated approach capable of carrying out the tradeoffs necessary to achieve optimum dynamic response in the design stage. These trade-offs involve a balance between the system characteristics at the output and at the cam-follower interface. In this investigation optimal-control theory has been demonstrated to be a useful tool in developing such a tradeoff. Part 1 describes the development of an optimization criterion while Part 2 describes the application of optimal-control theory to the evaluation of system parameters satisfying the optimization criterion.

This paper is concerned with filling two gaps in the cam design field: (a) the absence of adequate measurements of the dynamic response of cam-follower systems, and (b) the need for the development of a predictive dynamic model for both normal and pathological system behavior. Part 1 presents the results of basic experiments on the dynamic response of a modern, high-speed cam-follower system. These data, which we believe to be the most comprehensive available in the open literature, and which are described more fully in [11], can be used by research investigators both in understanding system response and in developing and evaluating predictive dynamic models.

The dynamic response of the turbine blade materials is indispensable for analysis of erosions of turbine blades as a result of impulsive loading associated with gas flow. This paper is concerned with the dynamic material properties of the Inconel 718 alloy which is widely used in the high speed turbine blade. The dynamic response at the corresponding level of the strain rate should be acquired with an adequate experimental technique and apparatus due to the inertia effect and the stress wave propagation. In this paper, the dynamic response of the Inconel 718 at the intermediate strain rate ranged from 1/s to 400/s is obtained from the high speed tensile test and that at the high strain rate above 1000/s is obtained from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. The effects of the strain rate on the dynamic flow stress, the strain rate sensitivity and the failure elongation are evaluated with the experimental results. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high strain rate up to 3000/s are interpolated in order to construct the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulate the dynamic behavior of the turbine blade made of the Inconel 718.

Traditionally, cam-follower systems are designed by assuming a constant camshaft speed. Nevertheless, all cam-follower systems, especially high-speed systems, exhibit some camshaft speed fluctuation (despite the presence of a flywheel) which causes the follower motions to be inaccurate. This paper therefore proposes a novel design procedure that explicitly takes into account the camshaft speed variation. The design procedure assumes that (i) the cam-follower system is conservative and (ii) all forces are inertial. The design procedure is based on a single design choice, i.e., the amount of camshaft speed variation, and yields (i) cams that compensate for the inertial dynamics for any period of motion and (ii) a camshaft flywheel whose (small) inertia is independent of the period of motion. A design example shows that the cams designed in this way offer the following advantages, even for non-conservative, non-purely inertial cam-follower systems: (i) more accurate camshaft motion despite a smaller flywheel, (ii) lower motor torques, (iii) more accurate follower motions, with fewer undesired harmonics, and (iv) a camshaft motion spectrum that is easily and robustly predictable.
