Rubbing Condition

In rotating machinery, rubbing occurs between the rotor and the stator, at the seal, between the rotor and the guide and between the rotor and the backup bearing. The backward rub or the partial impact vibration can be avoided by lubricating the contact surface sufficiently in order to decrease the friction. However, forward rub may still occur in such a case with a lubricated contact surface. Once such a forward rub occurs, it remains even if the rotational speed increases to much larger than the first bending critical speed and it is difficult to escape from this forward rubbing condition automatically. This paper proposes the suppression method of this forward rub by introducing the directional difference in the support stiffness of the guide or the backup bearing. The nonlinear theoretical analysis clarifies and explains the usefulness of the proposed method and it is also validated experimentally.

Automatic ball balancer is a balancing device where two balls inside a hollow rotor move to optimal rest positions automatically to eliminate unbalance. As a result, vibrations are suppressed to the zero amplitude in the rotational speed range higher than the major critical speed. However, it has the following defects. The amplitude of vibration increases in the rotational speed range lower than the major critical speed. In addition, almost periodic motions with large amplitude occur in the vicinity of the major critical speed due to the rolling of balls inside the rotor. Because of these defects, an automatic ball balancer has not been used widely. This paper proposes the vibration suppression method utilizing the discontinuous spring characteristics together with an automatic ball balancer to overcome these defects and to suppress vibration. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed theoretically, numerically, and experimentally. The results show that amplitude of vibration can be suppressed to a small amplitude in the vicinity of the major critical speed and the zero amplitude in the range higher than the major critical speed.

Automatic ball balancer is a balancing device where two balls inside a hollow rotor move to optimal rest positions automatically to eliminate unbalance.

The amplitude of vibration increases in the rotational speed range lower than the major critical speed. In addition, almost periodic motions with large amplitude occur due to the rolling of balls inside the rotor in the vicinity of the major critical speed.

In rotating machinery, resonance phenomena occur with large amplitude in the vicinities of the major critical speeds. In this paper, a new vibration suppression method utilizing a discontinuous spring characteristic is proposed. This spring characteristic is made by additional springs with preload. This method has the following advantages: In designing these additional springs, we need not adjust their parameter values to the rotor stiffness and the system damping. The amplitude of vibration can be suppressed to any desired level. Although this method has a disadvantage that an almost periodic motion occurs above the major critical speed, two countermeasures are proposed to diminish it. We clarified these phenomena theoretically and experimentally.

In rotating machinery, resonance phenomena occur with large amplitude in the vicinities of the major critical speeds. In this paper, a new vibration suppression method utilizing a discontinuous spring characteristic is proposed. This spring characteristic is achieved using additional springs with preload. This method has the following advantages. (1) In designing these additional springs, we need not adjust their parameter values to the optimal ones, which are determined by rotor stiffness and the system damping. (2) The amplitude of vibration can be suppressed to any desired small level. (3) This method is also effective for nonstationary vibration. Although the method has a disadvantage that an almost periodic motion occurs above the major critical speed, two countermeasures are proposed to diminish it. The characteristics of the vibration suppression are demonstrated theoretically and experimentally.

Abstract Results of a program to investigate internal rotor friction destabilizing effects are presented. Internal-friction-producing joints were shown to excite the rotor system first natural frequency, when operating either below or above the first critical speed. The analytical models used to predict the subsynchronous instability were also confirmed. The axial spline joint demonstrated the most severe subsynchronous instability. The interference fit joint also caused subsynchronous vibrations at the first natural frequency but these were bounded and generally smaller than the synchronous vibrations. Comparison of data from the two test joints showed that supersynchronous vibration amplitudes at the first natural frequency were generally larger for the interference fit joint than for the axial spline joint. The effects of changes in imbalance levels and side loads were not distinguishable during testing because amplitude-limiting bumpers were required to restrict orbits.

Fundamental Equations

The ball balancer has been used as a vibration suppression device in rotor systems. It has a superior characteristic that the vibration amplitude is reduced to zero theoretically at a rotational speed range higher than the critical speed. However, the ball balancer causes a self-excited vibration near the critical speed when the balls rotate in the balancer. This self-excited vibration may occur in the wide rotational speed range with a large amplitude vibration, and in such a case, escaping from it becomes difficult. In this paper, the occurrence region and the vibration characteristics of the self-excited vibration caused by the ball balancer are investigated. The nonlinear theoretical analysis is performed and a set of the fundamental equations governing the self-excited vibration is obtained. The influences of the parameters of the ball balancer, such as, the damping of the ball’s motion, the ball’s mass, and radius of the balls’ path, are explained and they are also validated experimentally.

New Criteria

ISO 10816-3 (a new standard of International Organization for Standardization) was established as vibration criteria for industrial rotating machinery based on the bearing housing vibration in situ. The appropriateness of the application of the proposed vibration criteria to pumps was discussed and studied by a work group in Japan. For the assessment, the data of vibration level in field were measured, and the effects of driver output, rotational speed, and pump type were studied. This paper describes the applicability of the new ISO criteria to the evaluation of vibration level of pumps, based on the results of the field measurements. It was found that the new boundaries of evaluation zones, which are acceptable for unrestricted long-term operation of pumps, are quite appropriate and satisfactory.

The paper presents the results of the theoretical analysis of the asymmetric plate rolling process conducted in the plate finishing mill. The purpose of the work was to determine the influence of working rolls velocity asymmetry on the value and direction of the bending radius of strip flowing out from the deformation zone. The variable parameters of the process were: rotational speed asymmetry factor, av ; strip shape factor, h0/D; and cross-sectional area reduction ε. For the theoretical study, a commercial computer program, FORGE 2008®, was employed. Working rolls of a diameter of 1100 mm and a constant lower working roll rotational speed of n = 80 rpm were assumed for the study. The asymmetric rolling process was achieved by varying the rotational speed of the upper roll, which was lower than that of the lower roll. The range of variation of the roll rotational speed asymmetry factor, av, was 1.01÷1.20. On the basis of the conducted theoretical analysis, the influence of the speed asymmetry factor (av = 1.00÷1.20) on plate curvature upon exit from the deformation zone was determined, and the distributions of strip velocity.
